rRevised.
1Estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits.  Table includes data available through May 11, 2004.
2In addition to the commodities listed, crude construction materials, such as sand and gravel and other varieties of stone, presumably
are produced, but available information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels.
3Data are for years ending June 30 of that stated.
4Reported figure.
5Gross production is not reported; the quantity vented, flared, or reinjected is believed to be negligible.
