Trying to find out what the 2005 production of Oil(barrels per day) was by country. Rank highest to lowest..\n Also would like to know how much oil the USA exported/ imported per day in 2005.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but this is imports: http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html\n\nProduction for the US: http://www.eia.doe.gov/neic/infosheets/crudeproduction.htm\n\nA few major countries:\nhttp://www.chartoftheday.com/20060120.htm?T\n\nThis one is for 2004:\nhttp://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/topworldtables1_2.html\n\nYou can probably find a similar for 2005.\n\nThe main page is here: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/info_glance/petroleum.html

i wouldn't expect anyone in the oil business to do anything to change the industry (although bush HAS passed a law stating that government vehicles must be equipped to use ethanol as an alternate fuel). it is really up to americans to change what they use, because the oil industry is entrenched and will not check themselves -- business just doesn't work that way. republicans hate to have government make the people do anything, so the likelihood of us passing laws such as those in Brazil are slim to none. I am personally just going to buy a flex car and run it on ethanol. No more petroleum fuel for me. E85 is produced without the use of petro-products, is home-grown, and is cleaner and better for the car anyway and the same price and soon to be less.

Good question.  If it does, it will be for the oil, same as with Iraq.  Or at least, that is what it seems to most people in the world.

Nothing. They're not the first nor will they be the last, unfortunately. One of the guys "Menchaca" is from my home-town. I'm very upset about it but what can the military do? They're following Bush's orders. To think it's all for the oil.

we gotta do what we gotta do (on the OPEC ?)  i think gas prices suck, but compared to other products say ten years ago I would say even though a little high we should have expected these prices due to inflation anyway.   And yes I think it is possible.

Most of our foreign oil comes from canada not the Middle East it doesn't really matter. We would have been out by now if it was oil and we wouldn't have used all the oil we have used so far to fight the war. Duh.

I don't want to create a conspiracy theory here - that the gas companies haven't built refineries, so that the supply has remained steady whereas demand skyrocketed, driving up the price...as the companies have seen quarterly profits that are unheard of.  I won't try and say that this was a carefully constructed plot on their behalf, ahem.  Well, ok, I don't think it is but I do think that they've been cheap and that their current plans to expand existing refineries won't solve our problems.\n\nDemand for energy will continue to grow (disproportionately here in the U.S...) and I really believe STRONGLY in seeking alternative sources of energy so that we can not only reduce costs for Americans (costs for living...crude oil costs affect EVERYTHING...prodution, shipping...driving up prices...costs to commute, etc.) but will reduce our dependence on foreign oil - doesn't get much better than THAT!!

Lifestyles in the industrialized world revolve around fossil fuels--including oil, coal, and natural gas. For oil alone, according to U.S. government figures, the world consumes over 80 million barrels per day, with the U.S. accounting for roughly a quarter of that total. \nhttp://us.oneworld.net/article/view/115387/1/795

Market forces my behind. The price of crude is still dropping while the price of gas is creeping up again. Are people really trying to say the price of gas dropped seventy five cents after labor day because the summer driving season ended? Get real. The oil industry is globally manipulated and further down the chain manipulated by everyone who can manipulate it. Every oil company dumps their gas into a common pipeline and then pulls it out somewhere else along that pipeline. Exxon-Mobil, Citgo, Chevron...it's all the same gasoline. They each add some ingredients to try to distinguish themselves from one another with whatever they claim their gas does to enhance your engines performance. Think there's no manipulation? What happened to the oil shortage from thirty five years ago?

I am for the war and I am U.S. citizen.  I have been 100% behind it from the beginning.  Also, we never went into this for the oil.  Do people not watch the news?  Oil prices have been insane.  If we are taking all this oil, then why are we having to pay so much for it?

You have a point about oil revenues from Iraq paying for the war.  So far, production has not made this possible.  The government doesn't sell gas, oil companies do.  They sell their products at the price the market will bear, just like Home Depot, American Airlines, and Wendy's.  Exxon-Mobil made about 9.7 cents per dollar of revenue during their biggest quarter last year, which was their biggest quarter ever.  Want to know what your bank made?  Probably around 25 cents!! Wonder no more why interest rates are so low....the banks are pocketing the change, but you don't hear any uproar about that.   Oil companies typically make around 5.7 cents per dollar, lower than most industries.  If you want to live in a country that has price controls, try China, Cuba, or the former Soviet Union.  Didn't work out too well for them.

By now i think every one is as riled up for their own cause as it gets,  some of us are tired of the same old attack adds as we see very little real differences in those running since they all authorise attack and mudd slinging, its like chose the lesser of two evils. I made my decisions a couple of months ago on all the issues. While gas prices may influence some only history will tell if it was connected to the elections or not. I think OPEC looks for excuses to exploit us, anyway.

You might be able to find something at the Energy Information Administration.\n\nThis site also gave some good info.\nhttp://repositories.cdlib.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2922&context=lbnl\n\nFor info on Oil projections. \nhttp://www.neatideas.com/oil.htm\nor\nhttp://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/weo/2005/01/chp4pdf/fig4_6.pdf#search='oil%20price%20projection%202006'\n\nHope they help.

havnt you seend the little stickers at the gas pump that says "May contain up to 10% Ethonal" that is where it is coming from. A few years ago no one was interested in the stuff since it was SO expensive (i think it was like 2.50 a gallon) now that gas has caught up lots of americans are flipping the bird to OPEC and saying lets at least give our high gas cost to american farmers and not some terrorist supporting mid east country.\n\nAlso isnt that what all new GM vehicles are able to run on?

To take Saddam's oil.  I'm guessing the U.S. tried to make a deal with him in the 80's but it didn't go well, so the U.S. decided to make him 'an offer he wouldn't refuse'.  But he did, and look what happened.  How would you feel if the price of gas shot up to $3/L or $10/gallon?  << THAT'S WHY.  In order for our way of life to continue someone's else way of life has to be altered.

I think the energy market is tired right now, but long-term I can't think of any better place to put your money.  Look at the facts:  already we have to go to the harshest environments to get our oil (like the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, and Sakhalin Island).  I don't see any way that we can escape our dependence on oil (although I like all of the boifuels companies).  And finally, some of the world's most important oil fields are very old and their production is declining.\n\nHere is a link on the state of Ghawar, the world's biggest and most import oil field, in Saudi Arabia:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/ViewPost.aspx?postID=78\n\nI would strongly recommend any of the oil service companies, like Nabors (NBR) or Grey Wolf (GW) as good long term investments.\n\nHere is a link to a portfolio from a user called "oil_investor":\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/ViewPortfolio.aspx?userID=8\n\nThis portfolio is from http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.
