The graph illustrates the capacity to produce oil in 6 Gulf nations between 1990 and 2010.
Overall, there were upward trends in the oil production capacity in 5 countries: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and UAE, as opposed to the data for Qatar. In addition, Saudi Arabia registered the highest figure throughout the period given, which peaked in 2010.
The amount of oil produced in Qatar witnessed a slight fluctuation of less than 1 million barrels per day from 1990 to 2010.
In the first year of the period given, Iraq and Kuwait approximatly produced the same amount of oil at around 2 million barrels. While the oil production capacity in Iraq saw a two-fold increase to hit nearly 4 million barrels at the end of the period, this figure for Kuwait steadily grew to over 3. 5 million in 2010. The amount of oil produced in UAE remained unchange for the first 2 years, before witnessing a significant increase to reach 3. 8 million barrels in the end of the period. Iran’s oil production capacity modestly rose from 3 to over 4 million barrels between 1990 and 2010. In contrast, the production capacity of oil in Saudi Arabia gradually went up before it hit the record-high of 14. 5 million barrels in the last year of the given period.
