Production Capacity
Burgan's production capacity stood at 1,700,000 barrels per day (270,000 m3/d) in 2005. This was much lower than it had been in the past—it reached as high as 2,400,000 barrels per day (380,000 m3/d) in 1972. The actual oil production from the field in 2005 was between 1,300,000 and 1,700,000 barrels per day. The International Energy Agency then predicted an output of 1,640,000 bbl/d (261,000 m3/d) in 2020 and 1,530,000 bbl/d (243,000 m3/d) in 2030.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or capacity:
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
