Statistics
World production is broadly linked to oil-well drilling activity and
has increased from 6.0- 6.5Mtpa in the early 2000s to 7.6 - 8.4 Mt from
2004 through 2008t. China accounts for around 57% of world production
with India, USA, Morocco and Mexico accounting for a further 28%. The
USA is the largest consumer at around 3.2 million tpa currently and China
some 1.2 million tpa.
EU-27 consumption is around 0.8 million tpa of which around 24% is sourced
domestically. However 75% of the production is into added-value markets
so a significant proportion is an export earner, and a higher proportion
of the oil-well industry requirement imported. Germany, Bulgaria and UK
account for some 90% of EU-27 output.
World production in 2008 was 8.5 million tonnes…96% from
