Talk:List of oil-producing states

North Sea oil
I thought Germany and the Netherlands produced their oil through rigs in the North Sea too? Joffeloff 18:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Netherlands has significant gas and some oil in the North Sea, as well as lots of gas and some oil onshore (including the huge Groningen Gas Field, onshore). Germany has a couple gas fields in the North Sea, and lots of oil and gas onshore - where "lots" is relative - Germany isn't really a major oil-gas producer. --Geologyguy 20:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I know they're not major, I was thinking of their colour on the map. Shouldn't they be orange if they have many oil and gas installations offshore? Joffeloff 20:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I would definitely not consider Germany to be a North Sea producer - two tiny gas fields are a very small proportion of their total production, and none of their oil comes from offshore. As for the Netherlands, this  indicates that 44.5 billion cubic meters of their total of 71 bcm of gas comes from ONshore - more than half.  I have not found anything that breaks their oil production into onshore vs onshore, but again it is so tiny (under 100,000 barrels per day) I would not think it would be enough to put them in the "North Sea" category with regard to the map. --Geologyguy 20:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Russia
I do not see Russia on the list though it can bee seen in a linked table of oil production/export per capita holding a second place. That's strange. Dmitry —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.76.218.130 (talk) 22:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * A vandal had removed a lot of things back in July. Asia did not get re-added in the repair - I have added it now. Thanks for noticing this. Geologyguy 03:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Ukraine
Why is Ukraine completely missing on this page? According to my sources, Ukraine produced in 2006 4.5mtpa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.122.55.4 (talk) 00:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Name of Article
This is more than a list of Oil-Producing states, this is a list of Oil-Producing Countries, States, and Provinces, I don't know if I'm the only one, but should the name of the article be changed to reflect that the list doesnt just include states? --Bumjubeo (talk) 04:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

List of countries by continent
Why does the article exclude central America and the Caribbean from North America. Central America and the caribbean belong to North America, those countries are North American countries.

The list is organized by continents. That error must be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bono983 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

List of countries in the Middle East
There are a few countries that are part of OPEC that are not listed under Middle East. Is there a reason for this, or were they just not originally included? List can be found here: http://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/about_us/25.htm GameSlayerGS (talk) 14:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

This article needs references
Nice article if the sources of the data could be included. Please include not just the publication but the issue and page, ok? Id447 (talk) 00:34, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
