Countries by Oil Production
Understand countries by oil production: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Oil statistics may cover crude oil alone or include condensates and other liquids. Production is different from exports, since some output is consumed domestically. A country's ranking can change when the definition changes even without any new wells. Daily flow units also need a common period rather than mixing a monthly peak with an annual average.
