1Estimates include crude oil, natural gas liquids, other liquids, and refinery gain.
2Saudi Arabia and Kuwait do not include the Neutral Zone, which is in "Other Persian Gulf".

Note: Iraq's unused oil production capacity is assumed to be zero, as its production is constrained by United Nations sanctions. Also, totals may not add due to independent rounding.
