'Remaining established reserves' less reserves 'under active
development'. |
|
Notes: 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
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, Oil & |
|
|
|
|
Gas Journal
and an independent estimate of Russian reserves based on information in the
public domain. Canadian proved reserves include an official |
|
|
|
|
|
estimate of
26.5 billion barrels for oil sands ‘under active development’. Venezuelan
reserves are taken from the OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin, |
|
|
|
|
|
that noted
in 2008 that the figure included "proven reserves of the Magna Reserve
Project in the Orinoco Belt, which amounted to 94,168mb" |
|
|
|
|
|
Reserves
include gas condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) as well as crude oil. |
|
|
|
|
|
Annual
changes and shares of total are calculated using thousand million barrels
figures. |
