This chart illustrates the oil manufaction capacity of six different gulf countires from 1990 to 2010.
overall, this data clearly shows,while the highest oil production capacity was recoded saudi arabia, the consistently lowest manufaction capacity can be seen in qutar over the period shown.
In 1990 Saudi Arabia produced around 8 million barrels per day,which was more than double that Iran and Iraq standing roughly at around 4 million and 2 million barrels per day respectively.The UAE and Kuwait had slightly lower capacities about 2 million barrels per day each ,whereas qutar production was minimal at just around 0.5 million barrels per day.
Over the following two decate oil outputs rose steadily across most of the nations.Saudi arabia experiences the most dramatic growth reaching around 14 million barrels per day in 2010.Iran and Iraq rise moderatly to approximately around 4 million barrels per day.Kuwait and UAE saw gradual rises, while Qatar remained the lowest producer, ending at just above 1 million barrels per day.
In summary, although all Gulf countries expanded their oil production capacity between 1990 and 2010, Saudi Arabia dominated the region, maintaining a substantial lead, whereas Qatar’s output remained minimal throughout the period.
