Sankey Diagrams » Lybia http://www.sankey-diagrams.com A Sankey diagram says more than 1000 pie charts Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:38:37 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Oil Exports visualized as Sankey Diagram http://www.sankey-diagrams.com/oil-exports-visualized-as-sankey-diagram/ http://www.sankey-diagrams.com/oil-exports-visualized-as-sankey-diagram/#comments Sat, 03 May 2008 12:40:22 +0000 phineas http://www.sankey-diagrams.com/?p=83 After my posts on visualizing Rotterdam port’s imports/exports and on Internet traffic maps, I have started to experiment with showing the export quantities and destinations for a certain trade good.

I wanted to do a Saudia-Arabia or Irak oil export Sankey map, but couldn’t find good data. I finally came across this summary on Lybian oil exports, and converted the data from the pie chart Lybian Oil Exports, by Destination, 2006 to a Sankey style export flow diagram.

Export data for oil from Lybia, shown as a pie chart has been converted to a Sankey diagram. It gives a good idea of where most exports go to. Created with e!Sankey, using a Wikicommons world map as backdrop.

It was new to me that “Libya has the largest proven oil reserves in Africa” with 41.5 billion barrels, and estimated net exports of 1.525 million barrels per day in 2006.

The underlying map is a crop from a World map found on Wikicommons. I think it could be a little more transparent though…
