Really interesting considering the US is the biggest oil producer, though I want to give some constructive criticism: it would have been nice to adjust the amount of barrels or something else to the numbers to increase the readability.
But other than that it's a really nice infographic!

But i thought evil blood drinking Amerikkka steal Iraqi oil? Why Chinese company subcontracted then?

It’s also subcontracted to BP a British company

Weak graphic. The two most prominent pieces of info are the name of the oil field and the country where it’s located - probably the two least interesting things. Switch the hierarchy to highlight number of barrels, specific field location, owner of the field (and nation of the owner), total barrels produced, expected number of barrels left, age of field, biggest customers of a field, etc.

Venezuela is just a sad example of how a country could have all the natural resources but still fail miserably.

Not only that, but the quality of the oil. The bunker crude from Venezuela costs a ton to refine down to a usable state. Whereas Texan and Saudi oil is a much higher grade.

I like how on this sub there is plenty of political significance in the subject choice but people’s comments usually stay on the effectiveness of the graphics. As intended.

Ya. And apparently the EU is bitchy because we Americans are responsible for making their imported gas cost more.... We're not even mentioned here... Has nothing to do with the war or anything like that... Am I rite? Smdh.

Not based on actual production. Syncrude is the largest producer in Alberta and produced 278,000 barrels per day in 2020. https://syncrude.ca/sustainability/economic-value/

We might not have the largest oil fields, but we have a lot of smaller ones.

We are responsible. America cut down domestic oil production and a large oil pipeline, ostensibly for environmental reasons, and is then surprised that other countries won't boost production to lessen the spike in oil prices. Is oil drilling only bad for the environment when Americans are involved?

ehh, not really their fault, they had a good governor that wanted to help the country but CIA coup d'etated him and installed a dictator that ruined this even worse

What counts as an oilfield? Google says the Permian Basin produces 5 Mbpd.
anonkitty2 t1_iy6we3h wrote
That's more than the fields that are listed!

Despite the U.S. being the largest oil producer in the world, none of the top 10 largest oil fields are located in the country. In fact, both Aramco-owned oil fields (#1 and joint #4) produce more oil than the #6-#10 ranked oil fields
