The chart presents the estimated oil manufacturing capacity for numerous Gulf countries from 1985 to 2015.
Overall, it is evident that the oil production capacity increased in all countries, however Saudi Arabia had the highest manufacturing rate compared to other countries.
in 1985, Saudi Arabia produced well above 8 million of barrels each day, and in 2005, this trend remarkably increased up to little over 12 million of barrels. In 2005, it witnessed a significant rise reaching at 14 million of barrels. Qatar had the lowest proportion among other countries, with the fraction of just over 1 million of barrels, in 2005. It didn’t seem to change over the period, albeit there was a slight increase in 1995.
Oil production in Iran had approximately 2,5 million of barrels, in 1985. In 2015, the trend witnessed a considerable increase just over 4 million of barrels. Although, the production of oil in Iraq, Kuwait and the UAE experienced a negligible rise in 1995 and 2005, reaching under 4 million of barrels in 2015.
