We track every crude oil tank at Kharg Island — the terminal that handles ~90% of Iran's exports — using SAR satellite radar. Storage signals arrive 4–7 weeks before EIA and JODI report them.
SAR radar images Kharg Island every 3–4 days. Works through clouds, at night, in all weather.
Radar bounces off tank walls. A low roof = more reflection. We invert this to get fill volume across all 47 tanks.
Storage data arrives 4–7 weeks before EIA reports it. No self-reporting. No AIS spoofing.
Kharg Island storage chart and per-tank fill levels. Updated with each satellite pass. Latest 2 weeks gated.
Complete signal with latest 2-week data, all metrics, and data export. Custom terminal coverage available.

Data accuracy. Storage estimates are derived from Sentinel-1 SAR imagery using inverse crescent radiometry. Measurements are approximations based on radar backscatter and known tank geometry. Signal quality may be affected by weather, satellite pass angle, and surface conditions.
Sanctions compliance. OilRadar provides observational satellite data using publicly available ESA Copernicus imagery. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use of our data complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
