“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.

- The result of those steps, recomputed four times a second in your browser. Nothing on this page is fetched live from the publisher.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Which published figure is the counter based on?
EIA’s figure for 2025: 104.3 million barrels per day.
How is the live number calculated?
Take EIA’s figure for 2025: 104.3 million barrels per day. Convert the unit: barrels per day × 365.25 days = barrels per year, which gives 38,095,575,000 barrels a year. Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 1,207 barrels per second. Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.
How accurate is the counter?
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.
Where does the data come from?
EIA, “Short-Term Energy Outlook”. The record quotes the publisher’s own sentence, and nothing on the page is fetched live from the publisher.
