eEstimated; estimated data are rounded to no more than three
significant digits; may not add to totals shown. pPreliminary. |
rRevised. NA Not Available. -- Zero. |
1Table includes data available through July 23, 2004. |
2In addition to the commodities listed, secondary aluminum,
secondary lead, and secondary copper may be produced in small |
quantities; crude
construction materials for local consumption, and copper, fertilizer, marble
slabs, methanol, perlite, urea, |
and volcanic tuff
are produced, but available information is inadequate to make estimates of
production levels. |
3In addition to the commodities listed, about 700 metric tons per
year of caustic soda had been estimated to be produced. |
4Reported figure. |
5Erroneous cement units (metric tons instead of thousand tons)
were used in previous Algeria production tables published |
during the period
1997 to 2000. |
6Includes about 50,000 metric tons per year of plaster. |
7Additional nitrogen was produced by Helios s.p.a., which is a
helium liquids production company. In
1999, the last year for |
which data are
available, Helios produced more than 68,000 42-gallon barrels of liquid
nitrogen and 14 million cubic meters |
of gaseous
nitrogen. |
8Excludes gas used in reinjection, flaring, venting, and
transmission losses. |
