Commercial energy use	470.75		[102nd of 119]
DEFINITION: Commercial energy use (kg of oil equivalent per capita). Commercial energy use refers to apparent consumption, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

Gasoline prices	0.62		[119th of 141]
DEFINITION: Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data. For more information, see World Development Indicators, Table 3.12.

imports, net > % of energy use	-29.98 %		[90th of 130]
DEFINITION: Net energy imports are estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

Oil exports > Net	153,000 barrels per day		[28th of 32]
SOURCE: World Development Indicators database
Oil production in 1992	111 thousand barrels / day		[41st of 47]
SOURCE: CIA World Factbook, 28 July 2005
Oil reserves	600,000,000 barrels		[42nd of 97]
DEFINITION: According to Web definitions the term refers to the total amount of petroleum (oil) discovered in any given oil field or nation. Thus it can be said that Kuwait has xxxx millions of barrels (mb) of oil in the ground. However, the exact amount can never be known, simply because of the difficulty in sensing or "seeing" beneath the surface of the Earth. The term Proven Reserve or PR refers to an amount of oil that is generally accepted by geologists to be the actual amount of petroleum in the ground.

Traditional fuel consumption	37.8%		[45th of 130]
DEFINITION: Traditional fuel consumption as a % of total energy use.
SOURCE: CIA World Factbook, 28 July 2005
use > kt of oil equivalent	50,218 kt of oil equivalent		[35th of 132]
DEFINITION: Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.		View time series
