The bar chart below shows the production of the world’s oil in OPEC and non-OPEC countries.
The bar chart illustrates the number of
barrels
of
oil
produced globally by
OPEC
and non-
OPEC
regions from 1980 to 2010, with a forecast for 2020.
Overall
, non-
OPEC
countries
show continuous growth in
oil
production
,
while
OPEC
regions, including Middle Eastern
OPEC
countries
and other
OPEC
nations, are expected to experience a decline.
To begin
with, non-
OPEC
countries
produced around 2
million
barrels
of
oil
in 1980.
This
figure tripled to approximately 6
million
barrels
by 2000 and is projected to reach over 15
million
barrels
by 2020.
Conversely
, other
OPEC
countries
produced about 7
million
barrels
of
oil
in 1980, making them the top
oil
producers at that time.
However
, their
production
declined steadily to around 3
million
barrels
by 2010 and is forecasted to drop to approximately 1
million
barrels
by 2020. Middle Eastern
OPEC
countries
initially
produced
oil
at similar levels to other
OPEC
countries
, around 6
million
barrels
in 1980. Their
production
saw a slight increase to about 7
million
barrels
by 2000 but
then
decreased to around 4
million
barrels
by 2010.
This
downward trend is expected to continue, with
production
falling to about 2
million
barrels
by 2020.
