The Baker Institute notes that underground caverns can cost more than 60 percent less per barrel of capacity than above ground tanks, so China has both a security incentive and a cost incentive to keep building storage that satellites cannot see.<\/p>\n \u5546\u696d\u7528\u539f\u6cb9\u3068\u6226\u7565\u7528\u539f\u6cb9\u306f\u3001\u5916\u90e8\u304b\u3089\u898b\u308b\u3068\u533a\u5225\u3067\u304d\u306a\u3044\u3002\u7de9\u885d\u6750\u306f2\u3064\u306e\u5c64\u304b\u3089\u6210\u308a\u7acb\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u30021\u3064\u306f\u56fd\u5bb6\u5099\u84c4\u3001\u3082\u30461\u3064\u306f\u4e2d\u56fd\u77f3\u6cb9\u5929\u7136\u30ac\u30b9\u96c6\u56e3\uff08CNPC\uff09\u3001\u4e2d\u56fd\u77f3\u6cb9\u5316\u5de5\u96c6\u56e3\uff08Sinopec\uff09\u3001\u4e2d\u56fd\u6d77\u6d0b\u77f3\u6cb9\u7dcf\u516c\u53f8\uff08CNOOC\uff09\u304c\u4fdd\u6709\u3059\u308b\u3001\u306f\u308b\u304b\u306b\u5927\u898f\u6a21\u306a\u5546\u696d\u7528\u539f\u6cb9\u5099\u84c4\u3067\u3042\u308a\u3001\u5317\u4eac\u306f\u5371\u6a5f\u6642\u306b\u3053\u308c\u3089\u306b\u983c\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u308b\u3002\u5916\u90e8\u306e\u30a2\u30ca\u30ea\u30b9\u30c8\u306f\u3001\u7279\u5b9a\u306e\u539f\u6cb9\u3092\u3069\u3061\u3089\u304b\u306e\u5c64\u306b\u5206\u985e\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306f\u3067\u304d\u306a\u3044\u305f\u3081\u3001\u63a8\u5b9a\u5024\u306f\u3001\u8457\u8005\u304c\u3069\u3053\u3067\u7dda\u5f15\u304d\u3092\u3059\u308b\u304b\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u5358\u7d14\u306b\u7570\u306a\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308b\u3002.<\/p>\n \u88fd\u6cb9\u6240\u306e\u7a3c\u50cd\u7387\u306f\u5f31\u3044\u5165\u529b\u5024\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3002\u5c71\u6771\u7701\u306e\u72ec\u7acb\u7cfb\u5c0f\u898f\u6a21\u88fd\u6cb9\u6240\u306f\u3001\u5168\u56fd\u751f\u7523\u80fd\u529b\u306e\u7d044\u5206\u306e1\u3092\u5360\u3081\u3001\u7a3c\u50cd\u7387\u3092\u6025\u901f\u306b\u5909\u5316\u3055\u305b\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3002\u5168\u56fd\u5e73\u5747\u306f2026\u5e745\u6708\u306b66.3\uff05\u307e\u3067\u4f4e\u4e0b\u3057\u305f\u304c\u3001\u5c71\u6771\u7701\u306e\u88fd\u6cb9\u6240\u306f\u308f\u305a\u304b1\u9031\u9593\u306750.5\uff05\u307e\u3067\u4f4e\u4e0b\u3057\u305f\u3002\u51e6\u7406\u91cf\u306f\u4f9b\u7d66\u30d0\u30e9\u30f3\u30b9\u306b\u304a\u3051\u308b2\u3064\u306e\u5927\u304d\u306a\u5165\u529b\u5024\u306e1\u3064\u3067\u3042\u308b\u305f\u3081\u3001\u305d\u3053\u306b\u8aa4\u5dee\u304c\u751f\u3058\u308b\u3068\u3001\u6697\u9ed9\u306e\u5728\u5eab\u5897\u52a0\u306b\u76f4\u63a5\u5f71\u97ff\u3059\u308b\u3002.<\/p>\n Apparent demand is a proxy, not a measurement. China’s apparent demand is refinery processing plus net product imports. There is a persistent gap of roughly 1.1 to 1.4 million barrels a day between crude supply and what refineries actually process. Some of that gap is statistical noise across customs, NBS and shipping data. The rest becomes the stock build.

The two methods disagree because satellites cannot see underground rock cavern storage or fixed roof tanks, and because the supply balance depends on estimating refinery runs at volatile independent teapot refiners. The headline day count then diverges again on the denominator: the same stockpile of roughly 1.2 to 1.4 billion barrels reads as about 110 to 130 days against net imports, and far fewer against total consumption.

The EIA put China's strategic inventories at nearly 1.4 billion barrels as of December 2025, after average additions of 1.1 million barrels a day through 2025 (EIA<\/a>). Kpler's satellite and flow based tracking had onshore inventories at about 1,232 million barrels in late May 2026, down from a peak of 1,251 million in early May (Kpler, 25 May 2026<\/a>). Reuters columnist Clyde Russell, working from the supply balance, put combined commercial and strategic stocks at at least 1.2 billion barrels, with Vortexa data cited alongside at a record 1.24 billion in April 2026.\",\"The rate of accumulation splits even wider than the level. The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies found published implied stock build estimates for 2025 ranging from 0.43 to 0.9 million barrels a day, against its own central case of 0.75, and noted the spread between analysts averages about 0.5 million barrels a day and can reach 1.1 million (OIES, May 2026<\/a>). A disagreement of 1.1 million barrels a day is larger than the entire daily output of several OPEC members.\",\"The most instructive case is historical. Analysts at Rice University's Baker Institute, working with Orbital Insight satellite data, wrote that \\\"at times in mid to late 2017, Orbital Insight's data suggested total crude oil stockpiles in China were more than three times as large as the figures reported by Xinhua, a potential discrepancy of more than 500 million barrels\\\" (Collins and Hung, Baker Institute, 2018<\/a>).

A growing share of China's strategic capacity is built in mined underground rock caverns rather than above ground steel. Shadow based satellite analysis cannot read it at all. The Baker Institute notes that underground caverns can cost more than 60 percent less per barrel of capacity than above ground tanks, so China has both a security incentive and a cost incentive to keep building storage that satellites cannot see.\",\"Commercial and strategic barrels are not separable from outside. The buffer is two blended layers: a state reserve and a much larger pool of commercial stock held by CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC that Beijing can lean on in a crisis. An outside analyst cannot attribute a given barrel to one layer, so estimates diverge simply on where the author draws the line.\",\"Refinery runs are the weak input. Independent teapot refiners in Shandong are roughly a quarter of national capacity and move run rates fast: the national average fell to 66.3 percent in May 2026, with Shandong plants at 50.5 percent in one week. Because throughput is one of two big inputs to the supply balance, an error there lands directly in the implied stock build.\",\"Apparent demand is a proxy, not a measurement. China's apparent demand is refinery processing plus net product imports. There is a persistent gap of roughly 1.1 to 1.4 million barrels a day between crude supply and what refineries actually process. Some of that gap is statistical noise across customs, NBS and shipping data. The rest becomes the stock build. Small measurement errors therefore become large disagreements about storage.\"]},{\"id\":\"sec5\",\"q\":\"What makes one day count different from another?\",\"h\":\"The denominator is doing more work than the barrels\",\"p\":[\"This is the part most readers miss.

China's headline day counts are frequently quoted instead against gross imports, or against total consumption, which runs well above net imports. Both are larger denominators, so both mechanically produce a smaller day count for exactly the same barrels.\",\"That is how one credible source says 90 days and another says 130 while describing an identical stockpile. Neither is lying. They are dividing by different things, and almost nobody says which. We set out the benchmark mechanics in the IEA 90 day stockholding dossier<\/a>, and the working day count in the days of supply dossier<\/a>.\"]},{\"id\":\"sec6\",\"q\":\"So how should you cite it?\",\"h\":\"A defensible position, as of mid 2026\",\"p\":[\"Treat every China stockpile figure as a range and always name the method and the denominator.

On a net import basis that is roughly 110 to 130 days of cover.

The last meaningful official disclosure came from the National Bureau of Statistics in 2018, covering mid 2017. Analysts use two very different tools. Satellite gauging, from providers such as Kpler and Ursa Space Systems, measures the shadow cast inside a floating roof tank from orbit. The supply balance method looks at no tanks at all: it takes domestic production plus imports, subtracts refinery throughput and exports, and assumes the residual went into storage. The results diverge sharply. The EIA put stocks at nearly 1.4 billion barrels by December 2025, Kpler at roughly 1,232 million barrels in May 2026, with Vortexa data cited around 1.24 billion. The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies found analyst estimates of the 2025 stock build varying by as much as 1.1 million barrels a day, which is larger than the daily output of several OPEC members. Four blind spots keep the gap open: invisible underground rock cavern storage, which costs roughly 60 percent less per barrel than above ground steel and cannot be photographed; the blending of commercial and strategic barrels; highly volatile teapot refinery run rates in Shandong, which fell to 50.5 percent in a single week in May 2026; and apparent demand, which is a proxy rather than a measurement. Then the denominator changes everything. The same stockpile divided by net imports gives roughly 110 to 130 days of cover, and divided by gross imports or total consumption gives a far smaller number. That is how one credible source says 90 days and another says 130 while describing identical barrels. The defensible position in mid 2026 is a range: about 1.2 to 1.4 billion barrels, roughly 110 to 130 days on a net import basis, always naming the method and the denominator. The opacity is not an accident. It is the strategy, and it is what gives Beijing optionality in a crisis.\"},\"podcast\":{\"src\":\"https:\/\/projectfifty4.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/china-oil-reserve-estimates-vary-sources-podcast.m4a\",\"title\":\"Why Every Estimate of China's Oil Stockpile Disagrees\",\"ep\":\"P54 Energy Growth Brief\",\"duration\":\"22:10\"}},\"poll\":{\"q\":\"When you see a figure for China's oil reserves, what do you check first?\",\"options\":[{\"id\":\"a\",\"label\":\"The method behind it\",\"insight\":\"The right instinct.

Analysts reconstruct the total from satellite readings of visible tanks and from the gap between customs reported imports, domestic output and refinery throughput. The method is credible but indirect, so every published figure carries a margin of error and is an estimate, not an official statistic.\"},{\"q\":\"Why does the days of supply number vary between sources?\",\"a\":\"Because sources use different methods and different denominators for the same stockpile. A total of roughly 1.2 to 1.4 billion barrels can be quoted as anywhere from about 110 to 180 days of cover depending on whether it is divided by net imports, gross imports or total consumption, and estimates of the rate of stock build differ by as much as 1.1 million barrels a day between analysts, according to OIES.\"},{\"q\":\"Can satellites see all of China's oil storage?\",\"a\":\"No. Satellites read the shadow cast by a floating roof on an above ground tank, which captures a large share of visible tank farms, more than 4,000 tanks in Ursa Space Systems' coverage alone. They cannot see oil in mined underground rock caverns or fixed roof tanks, and China has both a cost incentive and a security incentive to keep building exactly that kind of storage.\"},{\"q\":\"What is the supply balance or implied stock build method?\",\"a\":\"It is a residual calculation: domestic production plus imports plus pipeline receipts, minus refinery throughput and exports, using China customs and National Bureau of Statistics data. Whatever crude is not refined or exported is assumed to have gone into storage. Because it depends on estimating refinery runs, especially at volatile independent teapot refiners, small errors there produce large swings in the implied build.\"},{\"q\":\"Has China ever published an official reserve figure?\",\"a\":\"Rarely and partially. The clearest case is the National Bureau of Statistics figure of 37.73 million tonnes, about 280.7 million barrels, disclosed in 2018 for mid 2017. Xinhua publishes occasional commercial tank data that covers only part of the system, which leaves satellite and supply balance estimates as the primary tools.
