But if as we look at the past statistics of Uruguays oil production, we can see that there has been positive growth. Between years 2007 and 2008 Uruguay exported on a average of 6,000 barrels of oil every year (CIA World Factbook, 2011). This shows that in a estimated 3 year period, Uruguay has been able to increase oil production by almost five fold. Uruguays imports of oil is 47,260 barrels a day and its imports is 1,395.
