The line graph compares how much oil was produced and consumed in China over a period of 24 years starting from 1982 to 2006.
It is clear that both oil production and consumption experience upward trends over the given period.
As can be seen at the starting point of the period (1982), China manufactured approximately 2 million barrels each day, which was mildly more than the quantity of oil consumed. From 1982 to 1994, the production of oil grow moderately by 1 million barrels, but later remain unchanged at 3 million barrels till the end of the period. Meanwhile, there was a steady rise to around 2 million barrels in oil manufacture, which was followed by a marginal upturn of 3. 5 million barrels in the same period.
Looking at the graph in more detail, the amount of oil produced climb significantly and peaked at approximately 6 million barrels in 2006. While a gradual increase of 0. 5 million barrels was witnessed in the oil consumption between 1994 and 2006. At the ending point of the period (2006), the amount of oil consumed more than produced is 2. 7 million barrels.
