PART 3. REFINERY ACTIVITY

Report quantities for each column including Input, Production, and Ending Stocks.

Input

Gross Input to Atmospheric Crude Oil Distillation Units
Report the sum of the various components of refinery input to atmospheric crude oil distillation units. Exclude inputs to
downstream units such as vacuum distillation units, catalytic cracking units, and coking units.
NOTE: The following components of refinery input to atmospheric crude oil distillation units are to be included in Product
code 990:
•

Crude Oil
Report the total amount of crude oil (including lease condensate) and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, gilsonite
and oil shale of both foreign and domestic origin that is charged to the atmospheric crude oil distillation units.
Exclude crude oil charged to units other than the atmospheric crude oil distillation units (e.g., coking units) from Product code
990.
Note: Crude Oil is also reported as a separate line item under Product code 050.

• All Other Oils
Report any finished petroleum products (e.g., distillate fuel oil and residual fuel oil) charged to the atmospheric crude oil distillation
units for further processing.
EIA-800, Weekly Refinery Report

Page 2

Report raw materials such as coal tar derivatives, hydrogen, and gilsonite.
Exclude oils charged to units other than the atmospheric crude oil distillation units (e.g., cracking units) from Product code 990.
• Unfinished Oils
Report all unfinished oils (e.g., unfinished naphthas, gas oil, virgin naphtha, topped crude, cracking stock, slop oil) charged to the
atmospheric crude oil distillation units.
Exclude unfinished oils charged to units other than the atmospheric crude oil distillation units (e.g., cracking units) from Product
code 990.
• Products of Natural Gas Processing Plants
Report all quantities of natural gas liquids (e.g., ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline) charged to the
atmospheric crude oil distillation units.
Report inputs of unfractionated streams and mixtures of natural gas liquids.
Exclude products of natural gas processing plants blended or charged to units other than the atmospheric crude oil distillation units
from Product code 990.
Total Input – Net (Product Code 001)

AF
T

Report all refinery input (crude oil, products of natural gas processing plants, unfinished oils net reruns, gasoline blending
component net reruns, oxygenates, other hydrocarbons, and hydrogen) charged to all processing units (including atmospheric
crude oil distillation units and all downstream units). Net reruns are inputs minus production. Total input may be less than crude
oil input and gross input to atmospheric crude oil distillation in cases where production of unfinished oils and/or gasoline
blending components exceed input.
Exclude any input to be used in the manufacturing of finished petrochemicals and input of natural gas for hydrogen production.
Crude Oil (Product Code 050)

Report all refinery input of domestic and foreign crude oil (including lease condensate) to all processing units (including
atmospheric crude oil distillation units and downstream units).
Exclude crude oils that have undergone prior refinery processing. Exclude any input of crude oil to be used in the manufacturing
of finished petrochemicals.

Input

Gross Production

R

Report gross refinery input for each item listed on the survey form except where shaded. Input of finished petroleum products,
blending components, and fuel ethanol indicate product reclassification and blending activity. See the section on “Reclassification of
Inventory” for additional details.

D

Report quantities that represent gross production of each product (i.e., gross refinery production of each product outlined on the
survey form).
Report production of fuel ethanol only in cases where the refinery added denaturant and thereby increased the volume of denatured
fuel ethanol available for blending. For example, if a refinery received 100 thousand barrels of undenatured fuel ethanol and then added
2 thousand barrels of natural gasoline as denaturant, then the denaturant blending added 2 thousand barrels to available supply of fuel
ethanol. Assuming no other activity, this would be reported as input of 100 thousand barrels of fuel ethanol and production of 102
thousand barrels of fuel ethanol. The input of 2 thousand barrels of natural gasoline would be reported as part of total refinery input
(Product Code 001).
Report production of all propane and propylene (product code 246) derived from processing crude oil and unfinished oils (refinery
feedstocks) by all units (distillation, cracking, etc.) in the refinery. Include propane and propylene fractionated from still gas whether
fractionation takes place at the refinery or at a facility downstream of the refinery. Use the last-available known composition of the fuel gas
stream to calculate propane and propylene produced by fractionation from the total still gas volume produced. When reporting production
of propane and propylene, exclude propane and propylene volumes consumed as still gas (i.e. consumed as fuel gas) without being
fractionated from the still gas stream. Report production of propane and propylene consumed as fuel as production and either fuel use or
shipment of still gas on Form EIA-810 “Monthly Refinery Report”.

Ending Stocks
Report stocks as of 7 a.m. Eastern Time Friday, which is the end of the report period.
Report stocks in the custody of the refinery regardless of ownership. Reported stock quantities should represent actual measured
inventories.
Report all domestic and foreign stocks held at the refinery and in transit thereto, except crude oil in transit by water from Alaska or
EIA-800, Weekly Refinery Report

Page 3

any crude oil or product in transit by pipeline. Crude oil in transit by pipeline and Alaskan Crude oil in transit by water are reported on
Form EIA-803, Weekly Crude Oil Stocks Report. Petroleum products in transit by pipeline are reported by pipeline operators on Form
EIA-802, Weekly Product Pipeline Report. Include foreign stocks only after entry through Customs. Exclude stocks of foreign origin
held in bond.
For purposes of this report, “after entry through Customs” is said to occur on:
•

the “entry date” specified in block 7 on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Form 7501, Entry Summary (the entry date
for a warehouse withdrawal is the date of withdrawal);

•

the “import date” specified in block 5 on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Form 214A (Statistical Copy), Application
for Foreign Trade Zone Admission and/or Status Designation; or

•

the “export date” specified in block 4 on the U.S. Department of Commerce Form 7525-V, Shipper’s Export Declaration, for
shipments from Puerto Rico to the 50 States and the District of Columbia.

Reclassification of Inventory
Report a finished product that is reclassified as a different finished product or as an unfinished oil as follows: the quantity of the
original product is reported in the “Input” column and the reclassified product is reported in the “Production” column.

Transmix

AF
T

For example, if you produce 10,000 barrels of kerosene during any given week and have it in storage at the end of that week, this
quantity is to be reported as “Production” and “Stocks” of Kerosene (Product code 311) on the weekly report. If during a subsequent
week the intended use of the 10,000 barrels of kerosene is changed to Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel, report this reclassification by
reporting the 10,000 barrels as Input of Kerosene (Product code 311) and as a “Production” of Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel (Product
code 213).

Transmix is created when two different petroleum products (e.g., motor gasoline and distillate fuel oil) become commingled during pipeline
transport. Exclude transmix from all quantities reported on Form EIA-800.
