EIA World Oil Transit Chokepoints

EIA World Oil Transit Chokepoints

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes its World Oil Transit Chokepoints analysis with estimated petroleum volumes moving through major maritime chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz, Strait of Malacca, Suez/SUMED, Bab el-Mandeb, Danish Straits, Turkish Straits, Panama Canal and the Cape of Good Hope. The content pages are free public EIA analysis; EIA states its information products are in the public domain.

Coverage

Chokepoint oil-flow tables and narrative as published on EIA's World Oil Transit Chokepoints content pages (including recent half-year and STEO-linked updates). Exact refresh cadence follows EIA's analysis releases rather than a live API.

Verdict

This is an official US-government oil-chokepoint volume signal for security and freight agents watching Hormuz, Malacca, Suez/Bab el-Mandeb and related corridors, useful next to IMF PortWatch transit estimates and canal authority pages. EIA's Copyrights and Reuse page says US government publications on its site are in the public domain and should be acknowledged with source and publication date.
