The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Tuesday 15 June 2010

The graphic pictured above gave a global breakdown of how much petroleum is used by countries, regions and continents. The total for Africa should have been 4,651,000 barrels a day, and for the Middle East, 12,584,000 barrels a day.

BP may be struggling to manage the Deepwater Horizon oil spill but its publication of key energy data goes on. The latest figures from BP's annual Statistical Review of World Energy show that world oil consumption fell by 1.2m barrels per day (bpd) in 2009, the second consecutive annual decline and the largest volume since 1982.

Other key findings are:

• The world's oil production dropped by 2m bpd, or 2.6% - also the largest decline since 1982
• Global oil refining capacity additions totalled 2m bpd, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 80% of the increase
• Proven oil reserves stood at 1.33 trillion barrels last year, an increase of 700,000m barrels from 2008
• Gas reserves grew by 2.21tn cubic metres last year, while production fell by 2.1%, marking the first decline on record
