oil supply
Fuel source stockpile
Oil supply is the total amount of petroleum available or being produced for use.
It encompasses crude oil extraction, refining capacity, and distribution to markets.
Discussions of oil supply typically concern global or national levels and often involve geopolitics: OPEC controls a significant portion of the world's oil supply.
Disruptions to oil supply affect fuel prices, economies, and international relations.
