  The pie charts below show patterns of oil consumption as produced by the Global Energy Agency published in Key World Energy Statistics 2014

  
  

  In these charts, ‘Transport’ includes – air transport, sea voyages, roads and railways, and pipeline transport.
  Mae ‘Diwydiant’ yn cwmpasu popeth o brosesu metelau a mwynau i gynhyrchu cemegau a pheiriannau i gynhyrchu papur, bwyd a thecstilau. Yn olaf, mae'r categori 'Di-egni' yn cyfeirio at olew a ddefnyddir mewn gwahanol sectorau fel deunydd crai ar gyfer cynhyrchu yn hytrach nag fel tanwydd (e.e. gweithgynhyrchu nwyddau plastig).‘Industry’ encompasses processing metals and minerals, chemical and machine production, the producition of paper, food and textiles. The ‘Non-energy’ category refers to oil used as a raw material in various sectors for manufacturing purposes not as a fuel (e.g. manufacturing plastic goods).
