The story of "liquid gold" from 3 oil fields in Ghana.

Still in the 2025 Ghanaian budget, it had a section that highlighted Crude oil production from January up till 25th September 2025. Data from 3 oil fields Jubilee, TEN (Tweneboa Enyenra Ntomme), and SGN (Sankofa-Gye Nyame) captured in Table 8 included:

• Daily average production (in barrels)
• Number of production days in the month
• Quantity for the month (Daily average production x Number of production days)

What I like

• Table with all the data needed to come up with visualizations.

What will I change?

• Create 2 visualizations:
  • Line graphs which show the total quantity (in millions of barrels of crude oil) produced per month from each field.
  • Small multiples of line graphs which shows the average production per day for each oilfield.
