Thanks for the monthly update! It is always a pleasure to read your beautiful and clear graphs. What do you use for graphing the data? Your selection of the aspect ratio is most exemplary.

Reading quickly from the graphs to get a general feel:

Iran consumption increase 2002->2006: 0.234 Mb/d
Iran production increase 2002->2006: c. 0.8 Mb/d
Estimate export data for Iran 2003->2005: -0.03 Mb/d

= Iran is hitting ELM export decline with current production capacity (may change in future with re-investments)?

Saudi Arabia consumption increase 2002->2006: 0.418 Mb/d
Saudi Arabia production increase 2002->2006: c.2.4 Mb/d
Saudi Arabia exports increase 2002->2006: c. 2Mb/d

= KSA is no anywhere near ELM declines now?

Mistakes in this reading? Sure, it is just one interpretation of many...

rgds,
Samu

Hi Samu,

I use the newest version of Microsoft Excel to create the graphs. You can do quite a lot with it in terms of graphical splendour. Im not near my computer with the data at the moment so can't check your figures. Staying in London for a few days after the Conference in Cork, meeting up with the guys from Powerswitch. Will have a look at them later
