In 2011, Oman has produced a total amount of 73,508 ktoe of energy, which is about 3,078 PJ and 854,898 GWh. Its only energy source are crude oil (65%) and gas (35%). Oman has no other energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power, heat or renewable energy. The following table provides an overview of Oman's energy production in 2011.

In 2011, Algeria has produced a total amount of 145,846 ktoe of energy, which is about 6106 PJ and 1,696,190 GWh. Its main energy source is crude oil (52.1%), followed by gas (44.8%). In comparison, the numbers concerning the renewable energies are much smaller and close to zero. Other energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power or heat are in fact zero, thus giving an impression that Algeria has quite a unilateral energy landscape. Published by the '''International Energy Agency ([http://www.iea.org/ IEA])''', the numbers below offer more detail to Algeria's energy production:

<br/>The total primary energy supply in Algeria which is outlined in table 2 was 41,852 ktoe in 2011 which translates to 1,752 PJ or 486,739 GWh. Like the national production, oil accounts for the largest amount of primary energy supply in Algeria with 36,220 ktoe, followed by gas with 24,783 ktoe. Algeria is a ressource exporting country. In 2011 40,163 ktoe of crude oil, 20,954 ktoe of oil producs and 44,806 ktoe natural gas were exported.<ref name="International Energy Agency, ©2013,">International Energy Agency, ©2013, "2011 Energy Balance for Algeria", Accessed: Sep 19, 2013, URL: http://www.iea.org/statistics/statisticssearch/report/?country=ALGERIA&product=Balances&year=2011</ref>

Gas in particular appears to be one of the main energy sources for a somewhat mid-term solution. According to the IEA projections, Algeria will have an average growth rate of about 2,5% in natural gas production until 2035.<ref name="International Energy Agency (IEA) (2012),">International Energy Agency (IEA) (2012), "World Energy Outlook 2012", pg. 138.</ref> Most gas production is expected to be in the form of conventional gas,<ref>International Energy Agency (IEA) (2011), "World Energy Outlook 2011 - Are we entering a golden age of gas?", pg. 30</ref> as Algeria (together with Nigeria) is expected to be the leading protagonist in gas production growth in Africa,<ref>International Energy Agency (IEA) (2011), "World Energy Outlook 2011 - Are we entering a golde age of gas?", pg. 28</ref> augmenting export rates once again, after they had dropped in 2009.<ref>International Energy Agency (IEA) (2011), "World Energy Outlook 2011 - Are we entering a golden age of gas?", pg. 31</ref> In addition, the technology of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be installed and exploited by 2013.

Energy Supply

In 2011, Oman has produced a total amount of 73,508 ktoe of energy, which is about 3,078 PJ and 854,898 GWh. Its only energy source are crude oil (65%) and gas (35%). Oman has no other energy sources, such as coal, nuclear power, heat or renewable energy. The following table provides an overview of Oman's energy production in 2011.

Energy Supply

The total primary energy supply in Oman which is outlined in table 2 was 25,276 ktoe in 2011 which is consitent with 1,058 PJ or 293,959 GWh. Unlike the national energy production, gas accounts for the largest amount of primary energy supply in Oman (18,040 ktoe), followed by crude oil (9,927 ktoe). Oman is a fossil fuel exporting country. In 2011, the country was exporting 39,481 ktoe of crude oil, 2,152 ktoe of oil products and 9,797 ktoe of natural gas.
