The table below shows daily oil production in 4 countries from 2000 to 2004
The table compares the number of
barrels
of oil
produced in a single day
in four African countries, namely Nigeria

countries
Congo
led in production, at 275,000 barrels
whereas
Nigeria
only made 205,000 barrels
per day
. However

overtook Congo
to rank first with 213,000 barrels
being produced in a single day
, 10,000 barrels
more than the figure for Congo
.
However
, the daily oil
production in the other two countries was insignificant. Specifically, 5000 barrels
was the figure for Somalia in 2000, which then
saw a steady rise until 2004 when it grew more than two-fold to reach 50,000 barrels
per day
. As for Chad, not until 2003 did this
country record its very first 8000 barrels
of crude oil
produced on a daily basis and this
amount surged to finish at an equal level of production to Somalia’s in the last
year.Submitted by kumarsahil159357 on
