Embeddable Oil Production Charts

You can now embed our energy production and consumption charts in your own blog or web site. The example below shows Saudi Arabia’s yearly crude oil production since 1980. The source of the data is the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA). Note that the EIA releases yearly numbers with a lag of up to three years.

Saudi Arabia Crude Oil Production by Year (Thousand Barrels per Day)

The code I used to display the chart is shown below:

To obtain a different graph, change the following query string parameters:

country: two-character ISO country code. Example: us for the United States, fr for France
product: one of the following products: coal, oil, gas, hydro, ngl, nuclear, other
graph: production or consumption
lang: two-character ISO language code. Currently en is the only recognized value.

United States Oil Imports

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has detailed data about US Crude Oil imports by country of origin. I used their data to create a chart showing US imports of crude oil and other petroleum products from 1993 to 2005. The chart shows that the top exporter of crude oil to the US is Mexico, followed by Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. If all goes well I will be adding similar charts to IndexMundi for easy visualization of oil & gas production, supply, and distribution data.
