Well,as Jose post in his comment on July 25 last year 2011,two days ago a eared on the radio, that Venezuela is the country with the greatest oil reserve in the world. |

Cameroon's oil reserves are more than 400 million; and should therefore not be below Malaysia on this list |

These may change rapidly, horizontal drilling has opened vast reserves in the United States, wells that use to produce only 30 barrels a day are now producing 400, something to think about |

Fuller( if you make oil in the lab according to nature lawas
it will cost 1 million dollar a gallon); Fuller though we should save it for contingency- we shold use our sun income.
as we becoming global- we could all have good standard of living - to do that through design revolution.
why wast the 1 million dollar to drive to a job to make
100 or 200 dollar-
95% of production doen by automation/ 5% is propaganda about
getting jobs because of ideology-
in order for america to compete with china america has to give 50 million of its citizen scholarship for the rest of their lives- 1 in 100,000 will come up with somthing that pays of the 100,000-
and american has to go complete automation-
in 2020 china will have 100 million who will be travelling.
today 10 million are travelling-
they are moving fast-
if china becomes rich by 2040- then
we will be entring the age of plenty-
which will eliminate war- |

Can any one advice me on these figures? Are these numbers are proven convention reserves? or it includes unconventional? can you give me proven & conventional oil reserve data? if possible for sweet crude- because that is very important - after that the real worl economy will react & real fun wil start - but i belive that is not possible- even realistical estimate would help !! - pls. advice- chinmayoza@hotmail.com - thanks in advance! |

thank you for this information it really helped with my yr 12 final. However a lot of comments seem to be requesting updates, i find this odd as it clearly states its source which was published in 2005, these statistics are from 2005. They are not going to be currently accurate. So there is no need to complain. Thanks again |

Was really hoping for better stats here. Kudos to the posters who seem to be brighter than the experts (so called). Canada and the US have proven reserves that at the current rate of consumption could supply the planet for the next 2,000 yrs+. That's assuming Petrol Hydrocarbons are non biotic vs abiotic.Oh, and by the way, only the NWO fools in the US believe (or want you to)that oil is biotic. Must continue monetizing oil don't ya know. |

The US has a lot more than that, it's oil shale resever alone is at or around 2 trillion barrels. |

Saudi Arabia's oil reserves have been overstated by as much as 300 billion barrels.
Time to redo your stats.

Just out of interest, Ive very little knowledge on this subject, but I noticed, Ireland = 0, we have oil/gas fields of the west coast, all be it privately owned, or am I mistaken? |

Is there any time frame that when these calculated reserviors will end.

@Ian Graham, Staff Editor
Your post of 23rd February 2005 mentions total reserves of 687.44 billion barrels on the graph, yet the graph adds up to 1.349 trillion barrels. Has the stock of total global oil reserves really doubled from 2005 to 2010? Or have I misunderstood the figures?
On the basis of 2010 figures of reserves and consumption, how long will the current reserves last? |

Where are Uganda and Ghana? |
mike Alton
3rd August 2010 |
You may have to revise you figures for Ghana. The country has witnessed some of the best discoveries in recent times. It also important to note the discoveries are mostly oil fields and not just single oil wells. Jubilee oil field was about 1.8 billion and Owo-1 and hyenedua? are about 1.4 billion. You easily make those discoveries these days! |

If worldwide oil consumption dropped a little more than 10 percent, to 25 billion barrels per year, the oil reserves on this chart would last about three-and-a-half years longer.
In order to make these reserves last 100 years, worldwide oil consumption would have to be cut to 6.87 billion barrels per year, about 25 percent of 2002 consumption levels. That’s less than the United States alone consumed in 2002. |

Lets get our oil from the US, stop this and we could all put more $$$$ in the economy. We have plenty of it see here http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911 Let us drill in our own backyard....jobs, economic growth... pay down our own debt.....make too much sense I guess |

To Missy Gal (last post) shut the hell up. Jealous of middle east oil are we. I would love the oil supply to be cut off to the US. |

WHY DO YOU KEEP ADDING AND REMOVING MY PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE COMMENT FROM THIS PAGE?! |
Guy (Houston, TX)
19th June 2006 |
What is sad about the oil in the middle eastern countries is you have governments that are spending billions of dollars on toy's, but they are not investing back into the country. All the countries of the world will drain the oil supplies and they will be left with no source of revenue. Their leaders have an opportunity to educate and position themselves in other activities that would help them transition when this occurs.
They are living in luxury right now, but mark my words. They are as blind to the fact they will run out of oil as many of our nations are blind to the fact that our fossil fuels are changing our clmate. |

This is a great site, but it's annoying just how opinionated some of the users are. "Missy Gal" just epitomises the stereotypical arrogant and ignorant westerner. I'm British, but do I think of myself and my country as superior to Arab or Islamic states? No. My opinions are based on facts. Women in Islam are given just as many rights as men are. I have nothing against the Israeli's, but the truth is that Lebanon, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates all encompass state funded education, state funded healthcare and are far more developed. The only reason why other Arab states aren't, is because they have been under dictatorships for decades. Since when does it make sense to blame the people of a country for having done little with their territory when they have suffered from dictatorships? Beyond that, look at the global terrorism indicator statistic, and you will see that many none-Islamic countries, for example Sri-Lanka, Burundi, Liberia, Rwanda, Indonesia, India, and, though this particular statistic changes all the time, Colombia is also usually close to the top. Islamic counties are no more unstable than other countries. Christian fundamentalist groups such as the Lords Resistance Army, the Freedomites and the National Front for the Liberation of Triputura are worse that Islamic extremist groups.
If you think the people in our country are so tolerant, listen to the way people speak about foreigners. Get your facts right! |

And another thing. Bahrain is investing in renwable energy, and is making faster progress than Britain on environmental issues. The British shouldn't be so arrogant! |
Nick Court (Melksham, Wiltshire, England)

I live in Britain, but I happen to know that Qatar DOES provide free education AND helathcare for all people, and overall has done more with its territory than Israel. This is no exception, Bahrain is also a provider of education and other state benefits, as is Lebanon. (Before 1970, Lebanon was the most dveloped state in the middle east, famous for its financial services and tourism.)Beyond this, women in Islam are no more pressurised than men, are. You also said that the Arabs should stop waging wars against each other. Look at the global terrorism indicater and you will see, opinionated westerner as you are, that Buddhist countries such as Sri-Lanka are at the top, as well as African countries that have no connection with Islam. (For example Burundi, Rwanda, Liberia, Congo the Ivory Coast etc are at the top as well.) The Islamic countries that are at the top, such as Algeria, Afhganistan, Indonesia, Sudan etc, are there because they have internal problems with bad governments that need overthrowing by force. Another misconception you are in need of correcting. |

The list is simply wrong: where is the UK? 4.5 trillion barrels PROVED reserves (with as much as double than of PROBABLE and POSSIBLE reserves), and yet the UK doesn't appear anywhere!
Careless, careless careless! |
Missy Gal

Maybe in Qatar and other oil rich Arab countries you can provide some education for your women and allow them to advance.
The amount of oil you have isn't a measure of your greatness of your country. Alberta Canada has much more oil than what the statistics are showing.
Perhaps the US and other oil hungry countries can soon stop dealing altogether with unstable, Islamic countries for oil. They are already getting much of their oil from Alberta.
If all countries stopped dealing with Arab countries then you wouldn't have any money to fund terrorism now would you! You would be nothing again.
You would be still crawling around in the desert and sleeping in caves if you didn't discover oil. Now you are using your money to try to force the whole world to to convert to Islam and adopt your ways or else.
Why must we be tolerant of you if you refer to as infidels and wage stupid jihads or holy wars because we do not follow your religion and let you dictate us with your oil wealth. |

this chart lists the World Factbook as the source, but when you go to the actual World Factbook (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2178rank.html) the figures are different. Venezuela is the #7 country, Kazakhstan is #11, etc. |

Isn't it PECULIAR to notice that the TOP 4 OIL-PRODUCING COUNTRIES
(5 to include Venezuela) has been the INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES for the past
several years?
Isn't it CLEAR that UNITED STATES has the MOTIVES to wage WAR against these
TOP 5 COUNTRIES? That is...TO CONTROL THEIR OIL.
These are only observations...based on oil facts. |

Venezuela has even more oil than Saudi Arabia, if you take into account unconventional oil reserves, e.g. heavy oils. I don´t know why nationmaster omits Venezuela in all of its statistics... |
Natasha Wilson, former resident of Ft. M
15th June 2005 |
Almost without exception, data presented in the North American media is grossly misleading when it comes to the world oil reserves. Firstly, the type of reserves being presented is generally not clear. Are they depicting Light Crude reserves, Recoverable reserves, Proven reserves? Nor is a definition of these different types given. While Saudi Arabia is usually presented as having the largest oil "reserves" in the world, nothing could be farther from the truth. Saudi has a very large light crude (easily recoverable) reserve. However their "reserve" pales in comparison to the reserves here in Canada. The Boreal Forest of northern Alberta, surrounding the city of Fort McMurray, covers the LARGEST oil reserve in the world. This reserve contains an estimated 2.4 trillion barrels of heavy crude. From which an estimated 300 million is deemed recoverable by current technology. However, a new processes called SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) is making previously thought unrecoverable oil accessible. I now live in Calgary, Alberta and work for an EPC company which is building a SAGD facility. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and if that continues to hold true, the world has nothing to worry about.
I recommend taking a look at a couple of web pages for more information.

You may also wish to research information concerning Heavy crude, Syncrude, Suncor, SAGD oil recovery, and the history of GCOS (the Great Canadian Oil Sands). |

Your site provides some great information, but when I look at Total Oil Reserves by country, there are several nations missing that I know have among the highest reserves: Iraq, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, etc. Such omissions bring the data in question for oil and other categories. |
