SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
PART 3. REFINERY AND FRACTIONATOR ACTIVITY



Crude Oil
Report the total amount of crude oil (including lease
condensate) and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar
sands, gilsonite and oil shale of both foreign and domestic
origin that is charged to the atmospheric crude oil
distillation units.
Exclude crude oil charged to units other than the
atmospheric crude oil distillation units (e.g., coking units)
from Code 990.
Note: Crude Oil is also reported as a separate line item
under Code 050.

 All Other Oils
Report any finished petroleum products (e.g., distillate fuel
oil and residual fuel oil) charged to the atmospheric crude oil
distillation units for further processing.
Report raw materials such as coal tar derivatives, hydrogen,
and gilsonite.
Exclude oils charged to units other than the atmospheric
crude oil distillation units (e.g., cracking units) from Code 990.
 Unfinished Oils
Report all unfinished oils (e.g., unfinished naphthas, gas oil,
virgin naphtha, topped crude, cracking stock, slop oil) charged
to the atmospheric crude oil distillation units.
Exclude unfinished oils charged to units other than the
atmospheric crude oil distillation units (e.g., cracking units)
from Code 990.
 Products of Natural Gas Processing Plants
Report all quantities of natural gas plant liquids (e.g., ethane,
propane, normal butane, isobutane, and pentanes plus)
charged to the atmospheric crude oil distillation units.
Report inputs of unfractionated streams and mixtures of
liquefied petroleum gases.

Quantities: Report using the following criteria.
Report all quantities to the nearest whole number in
thousand barrels (42 U.S. gallons/barrel). Quantities ending
in 499 or less are rounded down, and quantities ending in
500 or more are rounded up (e.g., 106,499 barrels are
reported as 106 and 106,500 barrels are reported as 107).
Report data only for those products which the facility
processes, produces, or stores. If the quantity for a product
for which you usually report data is zero, please enter “0".
Shaded cells on the form are those in which data are not
currently required to be reported.
Report quantities for each column including Input, Production,
and Ending Stocks.

Input
Gross Input to Atmospheric Crude Oil Distillation Units
Report the sum of the various components of refinery input
to atmospheric crude oil distillation units. Exclude inputs to
downstream units such as vacuum distillation units,
catalytic cracking units, and coking units.

Exclude products of natural gas processing plants blended or
charged to units other than the atmospheric crude oil
distillation units from Code 990.
Total Input – Net (Code 001)
Report all refinery input (crude oil, products of natural gas
processing plants, unfinished oils net reruns, gasoline
blending component net reruns, oxygenates, other
hydrocarbons, and hydrogen) charged to all processing
units (including atmospheric crude oil distillation units and
all downstream units). Net reruns are inputs minus
production. Total input may be less than crude oil input and
gross input to atmospheric crude oil distillation in cases
where production of unfinished oils and/or gasoline
blending components exceed input.
Exclude any input to be used in the manufacturing of
finished petrochemicals and input of natural gas for hydrogen
production

NOTE: The following components of refinery input to
atmospheric crude oil distillation units are to be included
in Code 990:
Page 2

EIA-800, Weekly Refinery and Fractionator Report

Crude Oil (Code 050)
Report all refinery input of domestic and foreign crude oil
(including lease condensate) to all processing units (including
atmospheric crude oil distillation units and downstream
units).
Exclude crude oils that have undergone prior refinery
processing. Exclude any input of crude oil to be used in the
manufacturing of finished petrochemicals.

Input
Report gross refinery input for each item listed on the survey
form except where shaded. Input of finished petroleum
products, blending components, and fuel ethanol indicate
product reclassification and blending activity. See the section
on “Reclassification of Inventory” for additional details.

Gross Production
Report quantities that represent gross production of each
product (i.e., gross refinery production of each product outlined
on the survey form).
Report production of fuel ethanol only in cases where the
refinery added denaturant and thereby increased the volume of
denatured fuel ethanol available for blending. For example, if a
refinery received 100 thousand barrels of undenatured fuel
ethanol and then added 2 thousand barrels of pentanes plus as
denaturant, then the denaturant blending added 2 thousand
barrels to available supply of fuel ethanol. Assuming no other
activity, this would be reported as input of 100 thousand barrels
of fuel ethanol and production of 102 thousand barrels of fuel
ethanol. The input of 2 thousand barrels of pentanes plus would
be reported as part of total refinery input (product code 001).
Report for fractionators the gross quantities of propane which
were produced through separation of mixed streams in the
fractionator unit.

Ending Stocks
Report stocks in the custody of the refinery or fractionator
regardless of ownership. Reported stock quantities should
represent actual measured inventories.
Report stocks as of 7 a.m. Eastern Time Friday, which is the
end of the report period. Data should be reported corrected to
60 degrees Fahrenheit (0F) less basic sediment and water
(BS&W).
Report all domestic and foreign stocks held at the refinery and in
transit thereto, except crude oil in transit by water from Alaska
or any crude oil or product in transit by pipeline. Crude oil in
transit by pipeline and Alaskan Crude oil in transit by water are
reported on Form EIA-803, “Weekly Crude Oil Stocks Report.”
Petroleum products in transit by pipeline are reported by
pipeline operators on Form EIA-802, “Weekly Product Pipeline
Report.” Include foreign stocks only after entry through Customs.
Exclude stocks of foreign origin held in bond.
For purposes of this report, “after entry through Customs” is
said to occur on:


the “entry date” specified in block 7 on the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection CBP Form 7501, “Entry Summary;”
(The entry date for a warehouse withdrawal is the date of
withdrawal), or



the “import date” specified in block 5 on the U.S. Customs

and Border Protection CBP Form 214A (Statistical Copy),
“Application for Foreign Trade Zone Admission and/or
Status Designation;” or


the “export date” specified in block 4 on the U.S.
Department of Commerce Form 7525-V, “Shipper’s Export
Declaration,” for shipments from Puerto Rico to the 50
States and the District of Columbia.

Reclassification of Inventory
Report finished products or blending components reclassified
to a different finished product or blending component as input
of the original product and production of the new product.
For example, if you produce 10,000 barrels of kerosene during
any given week and have it in storage at the end of that
week, this quantity is to be reported as “Production” and
“Stocks” of Kerosene (Code 311) on the weekly report. If
during a subsequent week the intended use of the 10,000
barrels of kerosene is changed to Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel,
report this reclassification by reporting the 10,000 barrels as
Input of Kerosene (Code 311) and as a “Production” of
Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel (Code 213).

Transmix
Transmix is created when two different petroleum products (e.g.
motor gasoline and distillate fuel oil) become commingled during
pipeline transport. Exclude transmix from all quantities reported
on Form EIA-800.
