1Table includes data available through July 2004. Estimated data are rounded to no more than
three significant digits; may not add to totals |
shown. |
2In addition to the commodities listed, a variety of brick, clay,
dolomite, limestone, methanol, sand, crushed construction stone, and tile was
|
produced,
and natron (soda ash) may have been produced, but available information is
inadequate to make estimates of output levels. Natural |
gas liquids also
were produced but were blended with crude petroleum and reported as part of
that total. |
3Includes hot-briquetted iron. |
