The line graph details how much oil was used in four countries from 2009 to 2015 and the prediction until 2030.
Overall, Western Europe and Japan, and the US will see decreases in the number of barrels of oil, especially Western nations, which might show the lowest figure after a dramatic drop in 2030, but the rate of China and Middle Eastern nations may increase and is predicted to display similar numbers in 2030. Despite this drop, it is predicted that the US will show the highest point while China and Middle East countries may overtake those of Western nations in using barrels of oil.
According to the line graph, in 2009, the figure for the US indicated by far the highest point in this diagram, showing the same numbers as in 2015, nearly 10 million barrels, while Western Europe and Japan demonstrated lower by about 6 million, along with China and the Middle Eastern countries indicating the same number of barrels. In 2015, while the Western countries’ figures dropped by about 3.6 million, China’s line reached 3.6 million, and in this period, the number for Middle Eastern countries rose slightly, and illustrated more than the initial rate by 0.2 million.
In 2025, it is predicted that the figure for the US will drop by about 6 million, and China will show its highest point, showing about 3.9 million. While in this year, those of other countries will show the same numbers, about 2.4 million. In 2030, it is predicted that the US will exhibit a sharp decrease and show roughly 4 million, which will be higher than China and Middle Eastern countries by approximately 0.5 million, along with those of Western countries by one million.
