22 NOTES TO TABLES OIL AND ENERGY TRENDS, NOVEMBER 2017

Notes to tables

e present notes to the statistical tables are both general and not notes to the items carrying an asterisk (∗). In

several of the time series, there are sometimes revisions to the previous month’s data. ese are not footnoted.

A number of countries do not publish monthly gures, or publish them only aer long delays. Consequently year

averages are used in s everal of the se ries for many of the monthly gures shown, or, in the cur rent calendar year,

estimatesbasedonthepreviousyear.

Source of the data onthe UK in tables 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 is Energy Trends, adapted and reproduced withper mission

of the Controller of HMSO.
