Estimations?

Why on earth this list is by estimates of future oil exports? 85.77.102.4 (talk) 09:11, 15 February 2011 (UTC) I'd prefer actual values, but maybe this info is essential to some speculators.[reply]

Russia's exports

Russia exports more than 2,000,000 barrels of refined products (petrol, diesel.etc) in addition to the 5,080,000 barrels of crude it exports (per day). This should be mentioned, since none of the other top ranking oil-exporters do the same. Axxn (talk) 06:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Data from International Energy Agency

Total crude production in 2010:[1]
- Russia - 10,450,000 bbl/d
- Saudi Arabia - 8,130,000 bbl/d

Total crude consumption in 2010:
- Russia - 3,050,000 bbl/d
- KSA - 2,680,000 bbl/d

Total crude exports in 2010 (including refined products):
- Russia - 7,400,000 bbl/d
- KSA - 5,450,000 bbl/d

This proves that the figures given are completely wrong. Axxn (talk) 08:56, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The European Union is not an oil exporter

If you want to include the European Union in the list, you need to consider its aggregate net exports from Europe as a whole, not internal, inter-country trades. The European Union is not a net exporter of oil.Eregli bob (talk) 11:57, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There should at least be a link to Net Export information such as

http://www.eia.gov/countries/index.cfm?topL=exp

Also, the official US definition of "petroleum" includes bioethanol and biodiesel. It should be clarified whether these are included.

I assume the India number is a typo.

Keith McClary (talk) 18:59, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Those figures are raw, not net exports. They are physical exports. A country can import a lot of oil and export a small amont, for a variety of reasons : logistics, crude quality, geography, agreements between companies. For exemple, france produce only a tiny amont of oil, and yet some of it is exported into Germany. That's simple because it's produced in Alsace (near german border) and there is no refinery nearby in france, the closest one is in germany.

Of course, for the article, it would be more useful to hae NET exports/imports, ie the exports minus imports balance! --Raminagrobis fr (talk) 10:20, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map

Algeria is highlighted on the map instead of Nigeria. Nigeria is a major exporter and yet it is blank on the map.
