Oil production by region
This is a stacked area chart showing world oil production according to geographic region for the years from 1984 to 2008. Oil production is measured in thousand barrels per day.

(4) Includes crude oil, shale oil, oil sands and NGLs (the liquid content of natural gas where this is recovered separately). Excludes liquid fuels from other sources such as and biomass and coal derivatives.
(5) When graphed, the unit of oil production and consumption in million tonnes is shown as Mtoe (million tonnes oil equivalent) to enable charting that combines different sources of primary energy.
