COMMENTARY

It is impossible that the US had the biggest oil production in 1972, because it isn't a producer and they don't form part of the OPEC.. If it is like this chart says, then why do they buy petroleum from Venezuela or other Arabian countries?.. Please, i will like you to check this information
