Stuart, does the BP data just have the values for this period or is there data for each individual year?

It would be interesting to see just the 2004 figures, as I'm sure it would not be as positive as for the 3 years.

My guess is that some of the countries with overall production increases over this time may have even declined in 2004. It would certainly reduce the 'rest of the world' increase.

Thanks for your work on this.

I added the global production graph for the last six years. Actually 03-04 is as strong an increase as any. There are some indications of slowdowns now, as others have noted.
