Background
QC Intel (qcintel.com) is an independent oil and gas market intelligence service specialising in European and ARA-region product inventory flows. The service aggregates weekly stock data from primary sources including Argus Media and Insights Global, producing the ARA product inventory statistics that energy traders use as a near-real-time read on Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub balances for gasoline, gasoil, jet fuel and naphtha.
In the week to 22 June, QC Intel's ARA jet fuel figures were cited alongside Argus Media and Insights Global data to document stocks falling to a six-year low, even as ARA gasoline and total product inventories rebuilt . The divergence highlighted by QC Intel's data reflects Hormuz-dependent Middle East supply routes remaining constrained while Atlantic-basin flows backfill only the higher-volume gasoline and gasoil segments. QC Intel is a data provider rather than a market participant; its figures are used by traders to calibrate hedge ratios and monitor arbitrage windows across European product markets.
