Graph of Top Oil Producing Countries 1960–2006, including Soviet Union

In petroleum industry parlance, production refers to the quantity of crude extracted from reserves, not the literal creation of the product.

¹ Peak production of conventional oil already passed in this state

² Although Canadian conventional oil production is declining, total oil production is increasing as oil sands production grows. If oil sands are included, it has the world's second largest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia.

³ Though still a member, Iraq has not been included in production figures since 1998

¹ peak production already passed in this state

² Canadian statistics are complicated by the fact it is both an importer and exporter of crude oil, and refines large amounts of oil for the U.S. market. It is the leading source of U.S. imports of oil and products, averaging 2,500,000 bbl/d (397,000 m³/d) in August 2007. 

Total world production/consumption (as of 2005) is approximately 84 million barrels per day (13,400,000 m³/d).
