Proven Oil Reserves

Which countries have the highest proven reserves?

What does this map show?

Crude Petroleum Exports This is where oil is traded from.

Use these two maps to describe the spatial distribution of oil production around the world.

Draw an accurate divided bar to show where the 85.4 million barrels of oil produced each day come from.

World ENERGY stores

NATURAL GAS:Russia and USA produce 40% of world’s total

WINDGermany world leader at 23.6%Germany, USA and Spain account for 58% globally

HEP:China, Canada, Brazil and USA account for 46% of global total

OIL:In 2007 the Middle East = 30.8% of oil production

N. America = 16.5%Saudi Arabia dominates production 12.6% of world’s totalRussia accounts for over ½ of production for Europe and Eurasia

COAL:China produced 41.1% of global coal in 2007

USA produces 18.7%

Oil first entered general use around 1900 when the global population was about 1.6 billion.  Since then the population has more than

quadrupled.  When we look at oil production overlaid on the population growth curve we can see a very suggestive correspondence:
