xeroid,

looking at the data for Austria in http://mazamascience.com/OilExport/ it does not seem to match up to the data supplied here http://www.indexmundi.com/energy.aspx?country=at&product=gas&graph=produ...

I read in an Austrian newspaper that they produced nearly 20% of their natural gas (sorry no link, only in print).

Here is a link where OMV wants to increase production to 20% of Austria's needs.

In the data browser from your link, there is no production shown for Austria. What gives?

It's good to see you are using the tool for gas as well as oil.

The article says that the OMV company intends to expand it's gas production by 20% by 2010, not 20% of Austria's usage.

I think that 0.06 million cubic metres domestic production is an almost insignificant proportion of the ~339 million cubic metres actually used in Austria ... that's about 0.02% of Austria's needs ... certainly not 20%! ... yet.

I think that 0.06 million cubic metres domestic production

Looking at this link http://www.indexmundi.com/energy.aspx?country=at&product=gas&graph=produ...

I think you will see that it is 0.06 trillion and not million.

Yes, sorry, all trillions ... production and consumption.

Production is so little it doesn't even show up at this scale.

Thanks for replying.

It appears the the newspaper I read ( Kleinezeitung) picked up on the 20% increase reported by Oil & Gas and reported it as 20% of consumption. Very reassuring for it's readers, but also total mis-information.

Sorry for wasting your time. :-(

Dave
