Spain’s crude oil imports for June reached 5.538 million tons, marking a 27.4% increase from the same month a year earlier. The rise reflects stronger energy demand and more active trade flows across Spain’s refining sector, illustrating how European oil markets respond to global supply shifts while maintaining steady regional demand.
During June, Spain drew from 37 crude varieties sourced across 19 countries. Nigeria stood out as the top supplier, delivering 1.173 million tons and accounting for 21.2% of the total. This represents an 85.6% year-over-year growth, underscoring Nigeria’s ongoing role in shaping Spain’s crude mix and its access to diverse global suppliers. The expansion of Nigerian shipments helped set the month’s overall import pattern and highlighted Africa’s continued importance in Spain’s oil portfolio.
Following Nigeria, the United States supplied 707,000 tons, equal to 12.8% of the total. This figure shows a remarkable year-over-year surge of 688%, signaling a rapid shift in supplier dynamics that aligns with evolving North American energy trade links. Brazil contributed 539,000 tons, capturing 9.7% of the total and rising 314.5% from the prior June, demonstrating how South American producers are increasingly part of Spain’s import strategy.

Crude imports from OPEC members rose by 15.4% month over month, and these supplies accounted for 50.3% of the total inflow. At the same time, some OPEC partners kept their intake flat or scaled back: Libya and Algeria did not add to imports, while Equatorial Guinea and Gabon limited their purchases. The month highlights a broader rebalancing inside OPEC and its impact on the European market.
Imports from non-OPEC countries also climbed, up 42.4% versus June of the previous year, signaling a broad-based expansion in outside-source supply that complements regional diversification strategies in Europe and beyond.
Geographically, Africa stood out as a leading supplier region, rising 3.8% and representing 33.2% of the total. North America followed with a 24.4% share, then the Middle East at 18.4%, Central and South America at 12.5%, and Europe and Eurasia at 11.5%. These regional patterns reveal how global trade routes and supplier diversity influence June’s crude intake in Spain, while underscoring connective energy links between Europe, North America, and other regions.
