This is just an arbitrary scale adjustment. I also disagree with the idea of a per capita adjustment. Consider a large country with a high per capita usage but a tiny population. That type of plot would give the mistaken impression that they are massive consumers. I still feel that the annual production should be represented as a volume not as a height. In other words divide the annual consumption by the land surface area. Visually this would be more accurate. You could even imagine barrels of oil being poured in to fill up the space. If you insist on plotting a consumption as the height then a single width bar (or perhaps stacked oil barrels) should be placed over each country. For large countries like the U.S. that have both sparse and densely populated areas it would be best to further break it down by state (i.e. plot the height = oil consumption by the state divided by the surface area of the state).
