Write a short report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

Write at least 150 words.

The graph gives past, present and future data concerning the production of world’s oil on OPEC and non-OPEC countries. The figures indicate that while the production of oil in Middle Eastern OPEC countries is predicted to increase considerably, oil production elsewhere is likely to fall.

该图表提供了过去、现在和未来关于欧佩克和非欧佩克国家世界石油产量的数据。这些数字表明，尽管预计中东欧佩克国家的石油产量将大幅增加，但其它地区的石油产量可能会下降。

Between 1980 and 2000, most of the world’s oil came from non-OPEC countries; only two million barrels per day were produced by OPEC countries. Since then, these figures have changed considerably. Between 2000 and 2010 it is predicted that approximately 10 million barrels will come from Middle Eastern OPEC countries, while a further 10 million barrels will be provided by other OPEC or non-OPEC countries.

1980年至2000年间，世界上大部分石油都来自非欧佩克国家;欧佩克国家每天只生产200万桶石油。从那以后，这些数字发生了很大的变化。从2000年到2010年，预计大约1000万桶石油将来自中东的欧佩克国家，而另外1000万桶将由其他欧佩克或非欧佩克国家提供。

Although forecasters predict that oil production is likely stabilise between 2010 and 2020, a lot more of this oil is expected to come from the Middle Eastern OPEC countries, and under 5 million barrels per day from other areas.

尽管预测人士预测，2010年至2020年，石油产量可能会企稳，但预计更多的石油将来自中东的欧佩克国家，其他地区的石油日产量将低于500万桶。
