The largest countries in terms of oil production

The country can be included in the list of major oil-producing countries not only in terms of proven reserves, but also in terms of oil production intensity. In addition, the ratings of the major oil market countries will vary.
Saudi Arabia leads with 13.1% of oil production. At the end of 2013, production amounted to 542.3 billion barrels, which is slightly lower than the 549.8 billion barrels in 2012. The country is also a leader in world oil exports. The oil industry is the mainstay for Saudi Arabia, which accounts for more than 45% of GDP.
Russia is traditionally in second place (in terms of reserves it is only in 8th place). The exceptions were 2009 and 2010, when Russia and Saudi Arabia were ranked first. In 2013, Russia accounted for 12.9 percent of world production, or 531.4 billion barrels. Oil exports are a key element in shaping Russia’s budget, despite its constant efforts to reduce its dependence on hydrocarbon supplies.
It is estimated that Saudi Arabia and Russia could maintain a 12% share of world oil production in the medium term.
In third place is the United States. The country's share in world production is 10.8%, the volume of extracted oil is 446.2 billion. It is noteworthy that oil production in the United States increased by 13.5% compared to 2012. In 2013, China owned 5% of the shares. At that time, production reached 208.1 billion barrels.
Canada is also among the top eight countries producing 193.0 billion barrels of oil. (share - 4.7%), Iran - 166.1 billion. (4.0%), Mexico - 141.8 billion. (3.4%), Venezuela - 135.1 billion. (3.3%). These countries also have a very strong position in the world market and are major oil exporters.
