map of liquid fuels production in Middle Eastern and North African countries, million barrels per day, as described in the article text


Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries supplied about 30 million barrels per day (mmb/d) of liquid fuels in 2010, or more than one-third (see chart) of the estimated total worldwide daily supply of 86.3 mmb/d. Three countries: Saudi Arabia (10.07 mmb/d), Iran (4.25 mmb/d), and the United Arab Emirates (2.81 mmb/d), accounted for about 57 percent of total MENA liquid fuels production on average (see map) between January and November 2010 (latest figures available). Together, Algeria and Libya comprised about 5 percent of global liquid fuels production, or nearly 4 mmb/d.
