8th January 2005	Why is Iran considered second to last in oil exports when they export the 4th highest number of barrels per day worldwide?
Frank Pence 29th January 2005	This is a great website. Thanks
8th September 2005	Why does this page not include any information about Venezuela? Accurate figures are difficult to obtain, especially since the oilfield workers' stike in 2002 and the subsequent personnel changes, but estimates are still available. Venezuela's petroleum exports would put them in the top 8 positions, possibly 5-6. http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/venez.html http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1464263,00050001.htm
cheo 15th September 2005	...there shoudl be something wrong there...why Venezuela is not listed?. As far as I know the southamerican country is producing around 3 million barrels a day....
Ryan Kennedy 4th December 2005	Aside from the lack of Venezuela on here, which, according to your own source (CIA Factbook), exports 2.1 million bpd and would be ranked fifth, your numbers on Iran are just plain wrong. The Factbook says Iran exports 2.5 MILLION barrels per day, putting it fourth on your list. Common sense should tell you that 2.5 barrels per day is really low.
david 20th December 2005	what bolivia is 0 that cant be true people are killing each other in that country for oil
dave 23rd December 2005	Here are some corrections: Angola is # 15 it exports 700,000 barrels a day Venezuela is # 5 it exports about 1,900,000 barrels a day Iran 2.5 barrels a day not plausible
Nell Stanley (Texas, USA) 16th June 2006	Iran exports 2.5 million barrels/day.
Tomasio (Italy) 21st July 2007	Are you guys serious about your statistic that Iran only exports 2,5 barrels/day. Source: CIA Factbook! Get real, you may not like them, but they have over 10% of the worlds reserves!
