With EU gas storage at 28% and Hormuz effectively closed, I built a free real-time tracker for global energy infrastructure — pipelines, storage levels, live prices and tanker positions

The past few months have been a crash course in how fragile global energy supply chains really are. Watching the Strait of Hormuz situation unfold in real time while EU storage is heading into summer injection season at record lows — I wanted a single place to see all of it in one view.

So I built global-energy-flow.com — completely free, no account needed.

What it tracks right now:

Strait of Hormuz — the tanker page shows AIS vessel density dropping in real time. Normal throughput is ~17.8 million barrels/day. Current disruption is visible in the live tracking.

EU gas storage — the storage monitor shows 356 facilities colour coded by fill level. Germany at 22%, France at 22%, Netherlands at 6%. Europe needs to refill from 28% to 90% by November. Goldman Sachs raised their Q2 TTF forecast to €72/MWh with an adverse scenario above €89 if Hormuz flows stay depressed.

Pipeline network — 861 pipelines mapped globally. You can see exactly where Brotherhood stopped (January 2025), which sections of Druzhba are still flowing vs sanctioned, the Petroline Saudi bypass route, the ESPO running at 95%, and the Trans-Saharan still under construction.

Live prices — Brent $112.57, WTI $99.64, TTF €54.52, Henry Hub $3.05 — refreshing every 5 minutes from market feeds.

Fuel prices — pump prices in 190+ countries, all 50 US states. You can actually see the disparity between Venezuela ($0.02/L) and the Netherlands ($2.55/L) on one map.

Data sources: EIA, IEA, GIE AGSI+, GlobalPetrolPrices, MarineTraffic AIS, Stooq/Yahoo Finance.

Happy to discuss the methodology, data sources or anything about the current supply situation. The map was built specifically because I couldn't find a free tool that showed all of this in one place.
