About this ranking
Average daily production of crude oil, including lease condensate, over the year, in thousand barrels per day, from the U.S. Energy Information Administration International Energy Statistics.
Leaves out natural gas plant liquids, biofuels and refinery gains, so it is lower than the "total petroleum and other liquids" figures often quoted for large producers. For annual volumes by US state see crude_oil_production_barrels. EIA International Energy Statistics, compiled by EIA from national statistics and other reports. Countries that no longer exist (the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany) have no current ISO code and are not served; their successors start when EIA starts them.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
