The bar chart illustrates the estimated amount of mass oil production in 6 Middle East Countries between 1990 and 2010, which is measured in millions of barrels per day.
Overall, oil producing capacity has gradually risen to an all time high during this interval of two decades. The figure for Saudi Arabia was substantially higher than in the other countries, while production was lowest in Qatar.
From 1990 to 2010, there was a rapid growth in oil production in Saudi Arabia. In 1990, just above 8 million barrels per day were produced and this surged swiftly, reaching a peak and surpassing the 14 million mark. In contrast, the smallest producer was Qatar. Despite a slight rise in the year 2000, production in Qatar remained consistently steady at less than 1 million.
The other countries had a positive growth and saw a slight climb in production over the period which is quite crucial for the manufacturers. The estimated figure for Iran in 1990 was 3 million, compared with around 2 million in the remaining three countries. The amount of oil production peaked in 2010 in Iran surpassing over 4 million and at almost 4 million in Iraq, Kuwait and the UAE.
Altogether, there was tremendous growth in fuel production in most of the countries, although Qatar had a balanced pace. The two decades have witnessed significant positive outcomes.
