How the volume breaks down
- 100% Reported by the official source as a lease, facility, field or state total. Published without per-well detail.
Every barrel here starts from what the official source published for the months measured. Measured over January 1973 to July 2026.
Gas figures for Venezuela stopped arriving after December 2024. The charts hold every month of its gas back until the feed is repaired. Its oil keeps arriving and stays in view.
Held at national grain: the chart draws the total as one series.
About this chart
Splitting it into bands by the year each well started takes volumes at well grain.
