How this number is made
- Source
- EIA, Short-Term Energy Outlook
“Global liquid fuels consumption (million barrels per day) 103.1 104.3 102.6 105.0”
- Step 01
Take EIA’s figure for 2025: 104.3 million barrels per day.
- Step 02
Convert the unit: barrels per day × 365.25 days = barrels per year, which gives 38,095,575,000 barrels a year.
- Step 03
Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 1,207 barrels per second.
- Step 04
Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.

- Why this can't be exact
- Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
