Talk:List of countries by oil exports

TWICE THE U.S.A. U.S. appears twice in the ranking so one of them is fake--213.60.237.52 (talk) 13:14, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

DOESN´T MAKE SENSE It doesn´t make sense the mix of years in the right and left columns. Ridiculous. 2010 to 2012...2016 to 2010....--83.165.178.34 (talk) 11:19, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Article Outdated
Given that the information on this page seems to rely on a 2010 edition of the CIA World Factbook, I'm going to flag this article as out-of-date.Voronwae (talk) 16:59, 8 April 2015 (UTC)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)

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.

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)

Data from International Energy Agency

 * Total crude production in 2010:
 * 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)

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)
 * 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.

 * 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)

Map
Algeria is highlighted on the map instead of Nigeria. Nigeria is a major exporter and yet it is blank on the map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.211.47 (talk) 03:42, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Why are there 4 data columns in table?
Shouldn't all of the data be merged, replacing old data with more current numbers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Li3zhang (talk • contribs) 15:46, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
