IELTS Task 1 : Oil Production

The bar chart above presents oil production capacity for six countries in Gulf over a five year time span from 1990 to 2010. At a glance, there was a huge gap between Saudi Arabia and other five countries given, particularly Qatar, in producing oil which the most widening gap occured in 2010. 

Overall, although UAE relatively maintained unchanged in 2000, they surged next 2 years, following Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia which had a positive growth over the period given consistently. On the contrary, Qatar soared and then suddenly fell back again the following period. 

In detail, Saudi Arabia which grew dramatically in 2005 and 2010 produced the highest number of oil production for four consecutive years while Qatar was the least oil producer among the six nations throughout the period. The figures for all nations except for Qatar showed a rise and reached the highest level in the last period.  However, the oil which was produced by Iraq, Kuwait, and UAE occupied almost an equal number in 2005 and 2010.
