OIL
INFORMATION
2011
A comprehensive reference book on current developments in oil supply 
and demand. The first part of this publication contains key data on world 
production, trade, prices and consumption of major oil product groups, 
with time series back to the early 1970s.
The second part gives a more detailed and comprehensive picture of 
oil supply, demand, trade, production and consumption by end-user 
for each OECD country individually and for the OECD regions.
Trade data are reported extensively by origin and destination. 
Oil Information is one of a series of annual IEA statistical publications 
on major energy sources; other reports are Coal Information, Electricity 
Information, Natural Gas Information and Renewables Information.

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. 
Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member 
countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative 
research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member 
countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among 
its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. 
The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: 
n  Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, 
through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. 
n  Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection 
in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute 
to climate change. 
n  Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of 
energy data. 
n  Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies 
and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy 
efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies.
n  Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement and 
dialogue with non-member countries, industry, international 
organisations and other stakeholders.

What’s New? 
Starting with this year’s edition, the countries Chile, Estonia, Israel and Slovenia, which joined the OECD in 2010, 
have been incorporated into this publication. All are included in OECD totals. The regional aggregate OECD North 
America has been changed to OECD Americas and now includes Chile. OECD Pacific has been changed to OECD 
Asia Oceania and now includes Israel. OECD Europe now includes Estonia and Slovenia starting in 1990. Prior to 
1990, data for Estonia and Slovenia are included in the Non-OECD data under Former Soviet Union and Former 
Yugoslavia, respectively. 
The IEA is currently working with a group of 24 international organisations that collect or use energy statistics. The 
purpose of this group, called InterEnerStat, is to improve the quality of energy data and reduce the reporting burden by 
harmonising definitions for energy sources and flows.  
In line with the InterEnerStat work, the IEA has also made some small changes in the terminology that do not affect 
the definitions. A few examples include: 
transformation sector becomes transformation 
energy sector becomes energy industry own use 
petroleum products becomes oil products
