Why I Analysed UK Energy Data: Supply and Use of Crude Oil & Natural Gas Liquids

March 11, 2025

I have long been interested in the factors that influence energy markets. When I encountered the UK government's dataset on the Supply and Use of Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids, I recognised an opportunity to apply data analytics techniques to a practical dataset in the energy sector.

My analysis focused on uncovering patterns in four key areas:

  1. Domestic production trends
  2. Import/export dynamics
  3. Stock level variations
  4. Seasonal consumption behaviours

And involved:

  • Conducting full EDA using Python (Pandas/Matplotlib)
  • Developing custom time-series analysis for seasonal adjustments
  • Creating visualisations for stakeholder perspectives
