Shale oil: resources and production at end-2008 by regions and countries with resources over 10 billion barrels of in-place shale oil (Dyni 2010) [15] Region In-place shale oil resources (million barrels) In-place oil shale resources (million metric tons) Production in 2008 (thousand metric tons (oil)) Africa 159,243 23,317 -
(The data below does not seem to include shale oil and other unconventional sources of oil such as tar sands. For instance, North America has over 3 trillion barrels of shale oil reserves, [ citation needed ] and the majority of oil produced in the US is from shale, leading to the paradoxical data below that the US will finish all its oil at ...
It is well known as the host rock for major deposits of shale oil and shale gas. The large oil discovery in the Vaca Muerta Formation was made in 2010 by the former Repsol-YPF. [1] The total proven reserves are around 927 million barrels (147.4 × 10 ^ 6 m 3), [2] and as of 2014 YPF's production alone was nearly 45,000 barrels per day (7,200 m ...
By default countries are ranked by their total proven oil reserves. Note that data related to one parameter may be more up to date than data related to some other. See also separate lists and their source pages: List of countries by proven oil reserves [1] List of countries by oil production [2] List of countries by oil consumption [3]
This list of oil fields includes some major oil fields of the past and present. Countries by proven oil reserves 2017. The list is incomplete; there are more than 25,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world. [1] However, 94 % of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1,500 giant and major fields. [2]
The U.S. is seeing a big boom in shale drilling right now, but some companies are looking ahead to international options. Worldwide oil and gas reserves previously inaccessible or too costly to ...
By 2009, Venezuela reported 211.17 billion barrels (3.3573 × 10 10 m 3) of conventional oil reserves, the largest of any country in South America. [6] When 2015 ended, Venezuela's confirmed oil reserves were estimated to be around 300.9 billion barrels in total. In 2008, it had net oil exports of 1.189 Mbbl/d (189,000 m 3 /d) to the United ...
Shale gas discoveries are potentially changing the game. Shell has signed on to explore an area that government estimates indicate could have 113 Bcm (4 Tcf) in reserves. The country's gas reserves have geologic similarities to its neighbor Poland, and the Lublin basin could be 10 to 15 times the size of the Barnett shale.
