Total Proved Oil Reserves
* More than 500 years. |
^ Less than 0.05. |
w Less than 0.05%. |
# Excludes Estonia and Latvia in 2006. |
Notes: Total proved reserves of oil - Generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty |
can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The data series for total proved oil does not necessarily |
meet the definitions, guidelines and practices used for determining proved reserves at company level, for instance as published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, |
nor does it necessarily represent BP’s view of proved reserves by country. |
Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio - If the reserves remaining at the end of any year are divided by the production in that year, the result is the length of time |
that those remaining reserves would last if production were to continue at that rate. |
Source of data - The estimates in this table have been compiled using a combination of primary official sources, third-party data from the OPEC Secretariat, World Oil, Oil & |
Gas Journal and independent estimates of Russian reserves based on official data and Chinese reserves based on information in the public domain. |
Canadian oil sands 'under active development' are an official estimate. Venezuelan Orinoco Belt reserves are based on the OPEC Secretariat and government announcements. |
Reserves include gas condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) as well as crude oil. |
Shares of total and R/P ratios are calculated using thousand million barrels figures. |
