Jordans Oil Imports Rise in 2025 Rare Appearance for Two Countries

Khaberni - Jordan's oil imports in 2025 saw a slight increase, by 0.3% annually, equivalent to 220 barrels per day, with India returning among the suppliers by the end of the year alongside Saudi Arabia as the main supplier.

Data from the Energy Research Unit (based in Washington) indicates that the average maritime-transmitted crude and oil product imports in Jordan increased to 68.2 thousand barrels per day during 2025, versus 68 thousand in 2024, amidst a rare appearance by India and Spain.

In the last quarter of the previous year, the average crude and product imports in Jordan decreased annually to 76 thousand barrels per day, compared to about 85 thousand in the same quarter of the previous year.

The average imports also declined on a quarterly basis by 1000 barrels per day, when compared with the third quarter rate of the same year, which was 77 thousand barrels per day.

Jordan's oil imports in 2025 experienced a slight increase again, thereby ending the declining trend seen in previous years, but still below the average 70 thousand barrels per day, according to the following figures:

2022: 78 thousand barrels per day.

2023: 73 thousand barrels per day.

2024: 68 thousand barrels per day.

2025: 68.2 thousand barrels per day.

On a monthly performance scale during the past year, Jordan's oil imports in 2025 -crude and products transported by sea- recorded a record growth in August 2025, exceeding 121 thousand barrels per day compared to about 84 thousand in the same month of 2024.

Conversely, May 2025 noted the lowest level of Jordanian imports in years, averaging 25 thousand barrels per day, representing a decline of more than 26% compared to the same month of 2024 which recorded 33 thousand.

In the last quarter of the year, imports characterized by relative stability tended towards an increase by the end of the year; jumping from 42 thousand barrels per day in November to 94 thousand barrels per day during December of the previous year.

The following chart -prepared by the Energy Research Unit- tracks Jordan's monthly oil imports from 2023 until 2025:

 

Data from the Energy Research Unit clearly shows continued dominance by Saudi Arabia on the list of the largest oil exporting countries to Jordan, based on an agreement signed between Jordan's Petroleum Refinery and Aramco since 2003, with shipments passing through the port of Aqaba.

The average oil imports from Saudi Arabia to Jordan in 2025 increased to 65 thousand barrels per day, compared to about 64 thousand barrels per day during the previous year.

For the first time since April 2024, India emerged as a secondary supplier of oil to Jordan during 2025, with its supplies focused in the last two months of the year; recording about 17 thousand barrels per day in November, and16 thousand barrels per day in December.

Jordan's oil imports in 2025 also saw a rare appearance by Spain among the suppliers, with a quantity 11 thousand barrels per day, confined to the month of September only.

Meanwhile, Jordan continues to import about 15 thousand barrels per day from Iraq via land (averaging between 400 and450 thousand barrels monthly), according to the oil agreement signed between the two countries which lasted until the end of 2025, amidst ongoing discussions currently to extend the agreement for an additional year.
