RSSTop 15 Net Oil Exporting Nations – 2006
With an estimated population of 28.2 million (less than one-tenth that of the United States), Saudi Arabia produces far more oil than it consumes. Together with Russia, the two countries produce more oil than the next seven countries combined.
Note: Data for the year 2006 is used in many of the charts in this series because it represents the latest year for which the U.S. Department of Energy has collected a complete set of information for all of the oil producing and consuming countries of the world. This provides the data that is used to accurately rank the countries in many categories. The DOE has not yet finished collecting all of the data from 2007. As a result, updated rankings for 2007 are not yet available. As can be seen in other charts in this section, sufficient data is available in some cases to produce accurate charts for the year 2007 and the year 2008 to date.
