Method, sources and rights: Spain, Europe and Hormuz

Scope and releases

Historical gas analysis for 2025, not a complete oil or energy balance or an assessment of current Hormuz conditions. Sources are the Enagás 2025 PDF and the physical-operation workbook linked on p. 80, plus the Eurostat news release of 25 March 2026 and original annex. The record identifies URLs, access date 25 October 2026 and document hashes. PDF locators use printed pages 23–25.

Reading the Enagás workbook

Sheet “Pág. 25”: E4 identifies 2025, B12 identifies Qatar, and E12 contains 0.01718890770907905 as a literal fraction, not a percentage already multiplied by 100. The workbook chart cache references the same value. We do not recalculate a nonexistent formula or use column C, from another year, as 2025.

Reconciliation verdict

Unresolved documentary discrepancy. PDF p. 25: 1.735%. Quotient from PDF pp. 23–24: 1.718935403680…%. Workbook E12 × 100: 1.718890770907905%. The latter two agree to three decimal places but do not establish the cause of the first. No specific SL-ATR reconciliation or issuer explanation was obtained. Enagás was not contacted; no such contact is claimed.

Reproducible formulas

Total share = 6403 / 372498 × 100. LNG share = 6403 / 248084 × 100. Workbook percentage = 0.01718890770907905 × 100. Percentage-point gap = 1.735 − total share. Hypothetical implied volume = 372498 × 1.735 / 100; residual = result − 6403. Implied volume is not observed supply. Decimal arithmetic avoids intermediate rounding. Eight CSV decimals aid reproduction without increasing source precision.

Checking Eurostat

VISUAL 2: A1 specifies extra-EU imports and 2025; A2 identifies trade value shares; D4 identifies LNG, D9 Qatar and E9 the 8.855309243451158% share. One-decimal rounding gives 8.9%. The news release identifies CN 27111100. The annex also contains net-mass shares in “Natural gas (liq) partners”, 2025 block A15:C19. Mass is not energy in GWh and is not silently substituted for the value share.

Reproduction without technical files

Download the selected inputs and calculations. Check six input rows, units and period, then repeat the operations and compare the eight derived rows. CSV uses decimal points and comma separators, with sources and locators. Formulas are descriptive text, not executable spreadsheet cells. Complete PDFs, original workbooks, JSON, code and configuration are not published.

Visual rules

The denominator bars start at zero and use the same Spanish numerator; the EU percentage is absent. The discrepancy figure uses dots on three rows and a labelled expanded 1.710–1.740% scale. The nearby workbook value is not moved horizontally to separate it from the quotient. No confidence intervals are invented. Each figure has a text alternative and mobile version.

Rights and attribution

Section 7 of the Enagás legal notice protects its content and does not grant a general open exploitation licence. This analysis cites limited numerical facts with attribution and adds original calculations, graphics and text. Its map, charts, graphic tables, photos, logos and pages are not reproduced. Workbook availability is not treated as redistribution permission. The publisher has editorially accepted the limited citation of numerical facts and original representations. That acceptance establishes neither specific permission from Enagás nor independent legal clearance.

Eurostat conditions and IEA context

Eurostat permits reuse of its statistical data with attribution, subject to individual notices and third-party exceptions. Adaptations and calculations are the observatory’s own; Eurostat is not responsible for them or for the conclusions and explanations in Spanish and English. The news photograph is not reproduced. The IEA factsheet dated February 2026 is linked as geographical and economic context; its charts, third-party databases and series are not copied.
