About this series

Kerosene-type jet fuel, the aviation grade, held in tanks and terminals across PADD 4, the Rocky Mountain district. Reported weekly by the U.S. EIA as one of five regional cuts of the national jet fuel series. PADD 4 holds the thinnest jet cushion of the five districts, supplying Denver's hub and the mountain-state airports from very few local refineries. Small absolute swings translate into large percentage moves, so read the chart in barrels, not just percent.

Today's reading sits in the middle of the EIA record going back to 1990. This is where Rocky Mountain jet fuel stocks spend most of their time.

Rocky Mountain jet fuel inventory: common questions

What is PADD 4?
PADD 4 is the Rocky Mountain district of the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts, the five regions the EIA uses to report US petroleum statistics. It covers Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. The district lines were drawn for World War II fuel allocation and remain the standard regional cut of US oil data.
What does this page track?
The total volume of kerosene-type jet fuel held in tanks and terminals across PADD 4 (Rocky Mountain). It is the EIA's regional cut of the same weekly ending-stocks series the national jet fuel page tracks, and the five districts sum to the US total.
