Map of countries with proven oil reserves - according to US EIA (start of 2017) Trends in proven oil reserves in top five countries, 1980–2013 (data from US Energy Information Administration) A map of world oil reserves according to OPEC, January 2014
Global strategic petroleum reserves (GSPR) refer to crude oil inventories (or stockpiles) held by the government of a particular country, as well as private industry, to safeguard the economy and help maintain national security during an energy crisis. Strategic reserves are intended to be used to cover short-term supply disruptions.
Countries by natural gas proven reserves (2014), based on data from The World Factbook. Natural gas is a widely available fossil fuel with estimated 850 000 km 3 in recoverable reserves and at least that much more using enhanced methods to release shale gas. Improvements in technology and wide exploration led to a major increase in recoverable ...
The Motzfeldt mine is a large niobium mine located in southern Greenland in Kujalleq. Motzfeldt represents one of the largest niobium reserves in Greenland having estimated reserves of 130 million tonnes of ore grading 1% niobium and 0.04% tantalum.
Niobium was officially adopted as the name of the element in 1949, but the name columbium remains in current use in metallurgy in the United States. It was not until the early 20th century that niobium was first used commercially. Niobium is an important addition to high-strength low-alloy steels.
In 2019, Brazil's figures were as follows: it was the world's largest producer of niobium (88.9 thousand tons); [2] the 2nd largest world producer of tantalum (430 tons); [3] the 2nd largest world producer of iron ore (405 million tons); [4] the 4th largest world producer of manganese (1.74 million tons); [5] the 4th largest world producer of bauxite (34 million tons); [6] the 4th largest ...
