Location of World’s Future Supplies of Petroleum and Natural Gas

Location of Oil So where do we think the oil that is left can be found?

Location of Oil: Big Producers There are two regions where more than 100 billion barrels may be available, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Location of Oil: Big Producers A) Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf/ Middle East Region. B) Tundra of North–Central Russia

Location of Oil: Medium Sized Producers There are eight regions where there might be between 100 billion and 20 billion barrels, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Location of Oil: Medium- Sized Producers A) Northern Caspian Sea B) North Slope of Alaska C) Gulf of Mexico D) Bay of Campeche E) Venezuela F) Libya G) Nigeria H) North Sea I) Offshore of Africa

Location of Oil: Small Producers There are seven regions where there might be between 10 billion and 20 billion barrels, according to same source. Notice that many of these regions are the site of current or potential conflicts.

Location of Oil: Smaller-Sized Producers A) Western Mexico B) Western Canada C) Algeria D) Russian Siberia E) Central China F) Kashmir/Afghanistan G) Southern Caspian Sea

Location of Oil: Small Producers Some of these regions are currently productive. For others, the geology appears right. For some, it is really a guess.
