The line graph illustrates the amount of oil production and consumption in China from 1982 to 2006. Overall, production and consumption were at the same level only twice: in 1982 and around 1994. It is evident that consumption surpassed production after 1994.
In 1982, both production and consumption were approximately 2 million barrels of oil per day. Between 1982 and 1986, production increased slightly from 2 million barrels per day to 3 million, while consumption remained steady at about 2 million barrels. For the next 14 years, there were no significant changes.
However, between 1990 and 1994, consumption increased significantly, rising from 2 million barrels to around 4 million, while production remained relatively unchanged at around 2 million barrels per day. From 1994 to 2006, consumption followed a consistent upward trend and peaked in 2006 at about 6 million barrels of oil, whereas production fluctuated slightly but remained near 3 million barrels.
