U.S. oil production jumped to 11.6 million barrels a day last week, a fact that will not be lost on OPEC and its partner Russia when they meet over the weekend. An OPEC and non OPEC committee meets in Abu Dhabi and while ministers will not take action they could recommend a cut in production. Diplomatic cables leaked during the United States diplomatic cables leak in 2011 revealed that Sadad Ibrahim Al Husseini, former vice president of Saudi Arabia's oil monopoly Saudi Aramco, warned the US that the oil reserves in Saudi Arabia might in fact be 40% (300 billion barrels) lower than claimed. Ranking nations by the most likely estimate for existing fields, discoveries and as-of-yet undiscovered fields (proved, probable. possible and undiscovered), the United States is at the top of the list with 264 billion barrels of recoverable oil reserves, followed by Russia with 256 billion, Saudi Arabia with 212 billion, Move over, Saudi Arabia and Russia. America now has more untapped oil than any other country on the planet. That's according to a new report from Rystad Energy that estimates the U.S. is sitting Saudi Arabia pumped billions of barrels of oil in the last 25 years, yet their “reserves” jumped from 172.6 billion barrels in 1989, to 257.6 billion barrels in 1990 and are stated at 267 billion barrels today. This is a list of countries by proven oil reserves.Proven reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated, with a high degree of confidence, to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions.
5 Jul 2016 More than 50 percent of the remaining oil reserves is in unconventional shale oil, according to new data from Oslo-based consultant Rystad
This is a list of countries by proven oil reserves.Proven reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated, with a high degree of confidence, to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions. While the Saudis' 266,455 million barrels of proven oil reserves are marginally smaller than those of Venezuela, all of Saudi's oil is in conventionally accessible oil wells within large oil fields. Moreover, Saudi Arabia's reserves are considered to comprise a fifth of the entire globe's conventional reserves. The United States currently holds more recoverable oil reserves than Saudi Arabia or Russia, with unconventional shale oil accounting for 50 percent of that U.S. estimate. In addition, Saudi Arabia contains even more oil that has already been found, which is reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration as current proven oil reserves. It is worth keeping in mind that there is no certain method to determine the exact volume of oil that is contained in the Bakken Formation or any formation.

Saudi Arabia is in a pre-eminent position as her proved oil reserves are estimated to be about because of its low cost and low environmental impact compared to other fossil fuels. Figure 1-5 shows the gas-shale plays in the United States. 19 Jun 2019 The US holds 293 billion bbl of recoverable oil resources—20 billion bbl more than Saudi Arabia and almost 100 billion bbl more than 17 Apr 2019 That same year the United States, Iraq and Iran produced 12 percent, 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. OPEC countries hold most of the world's oil reserves, which gives a clear and significant advantage to Saudi Arabia. 5 Jul 2016 "[T]he U.S. now holds more recoverable oil reserves than both Saudi Arabia and Russia," Magnus Nysveen, Rystad's head of analysis, said in a 25 Mar 2019 Oil reserves are measured in Gbbl (billion barrels). U.S.: 36.5 Gbbl Six of these countries--Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and 5 Jul 2016 of global oil reserves and estimates that the U.S. may harbor as much 264 billion barrels of oil compared to Saudi Arabia's 212 billion barrels. 14 Apr 2013 South American nation Venezuela tops the list, followed closely by Saudi Arabia.
Thus, while the U.S. might indeed have greater oil resources than Saudi Arabia, U.S. oil reserves (per the BP Statistical Review of World Energy) are only about 1/10th those of Saudi Arabia. The
