There are many things that use oil to work or make. Everything from the heating in your home to making paper. Oil is a crucial part of every ones life even though some people do not realise.
The graph below shows that in 2014 up to 92 million barrels of oil a day was being produced and 93 million barrels were being consumed. It was then estimated in 2016 this was to increase to around 95 barrels of oil to be produced and consumed. This graph shows an increase from 86 million barrels in 2010 too 95 million barrels in a 6 year period, thats almost 10 million extra barrels of oil being produced and consumed around the world in a day.
To put the numbers into perspective in 2014 thats 94 billion barrels a day was equivalent to draining an olympic swimming pool full of oil every 15 seconds.
