Since this is a list of production by individual country, I suggest removing the European Union numbers and the World numbers. I realize that this list is pretty much copy and paste from CIA factbook and the EU is in the list, but it is not an individual country. The information could be included outside the actual list for comparison purposes. Something like "Worldwide oil production is estimated at..." and "All oil producing countries in the EU produce an estimated total of..." That's just my humble opinion though. --[[User:Brendanmccabe|Brendanmccabe]] ([[User talk:Brendanmccabe|talk]]) 15:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC) |

New Discussion
A discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries which could affect the inclusion criteria and title of this and other lists of countries. Editors are invited to participate. Pfainuk talk 12:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)crude oil is teerrable for the environment because it leaks fuids from boats into the ocean. It also kills animals like whales.
Merge
Chart of exports and production of oil by nation has been merged here, i want to discuss adding list of exports and imports as well as production to this page based on the EIA figures at http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/country/index.cfm --neon white talk 18:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Crude oil or total liquids?
Are we talking about conventional crude oil, or do we count tar sands, oil shale, natural gas liquids, biofuels, and other non-conventional sources of oil?
It says 'crude from drilling', but that's not quite precise enough for my liking. Can we be as specific as possible about what we do include, and what's not included?
My reasoning is that non-conventional sources of petroleum energy are compose a growing percentage of total "oil" produced. In Canada, for example, roughly 25% of all 'oil' production is from the tar sands of Alberta, producing so-called syncrude, not conventional crude. Biofuels, too are growing in their production to significant levels. Therefore, it is pertinent to question the type of oil being produced. —fudoreaper (talk) 06:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Update
The CIA source has been updated[1]. The data need to be updated accordingly.Bcs09 (talk) 13:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
How did India get above Canada on the list? the references put it at 800,000 barrels/d
someone has some explaining to do or elses provide the other source being used.Grmike (talk) 19:36, 8 August 2010 (UTC)grmike
- It is ridiculous that in 2009 India had an equivalent oil production with Iran and China, the fourth and fifth oil production states in the world. .Ligand (talk) 13:55 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Removal of EU and World
Since this is a list of production by individual country, I suggest removing the European Union numbers and the World numbers. I realize that this list is pretty much copy and paste from CIA factbook and the EU is in the list, but it is not an individual country. The information could be included outside the actual list for comparison purposes. Something like "Worldwide oil production is estimated at..." and "All oil producing countries in the EU produce an estimated total of..." That's just my humble opinion though. --Brendanmccabe (talk) 15:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
