The provided bar graph illustrates the estimated amount of generated oil in the selected Gulf countries over two decades from 1990 to 2010 which is measured by barrels per day (bpd). On the whole, Saudi Arabia produced the greatest amount of oil all the time while the rest of the countries could not produce more than 5 million barrels per day.
Throughout the period, Iran, Iraq and Kuwait met a similar pattern of gradual, slight increase in their oil production, from 3 to over 4 million bpd, 2 to 4 million bpd and approximately 2 to over 3 million bpd respectively. Even though UAE had almost exactly the same oil production as those 3 countries, the amount of oil produced in the first decade remained at just over 2 million bpd and showed a mild rise to approximately 4 million bpd.
Saudi Arabia started off with a considerably high level of oil production in 1990, over 8 million bpd and then later jumped to over 14 million bpd by the year 2010, which was also the peak of Saudi Arabia’s oil generation. Among the 6 Gulf countries, Qatar generated the least amount of oil by far in all those years, starting with nearly 1 million bpd in 1990 and its level of oil production remained static over the 21 years.
