You can not even imagine our world without oil and its derivatives.No one will argue with the fact that this is the most valuable minerals for humans.Oil is the raw material for fuel, chemical, construction, and even the medical industry.
Where is mined as a valuable product?What are the largest known deposits of oil in the world?Which countries are in the lead for the extraction of the fossil?What are the known oil fields in Russia?About this talk.
So, the largest oil discovery to date are:
- Ghawar (Saudi Arabia) - estimated oil reserves of 80 billion barrels,
- Burgan (Kuwait) - 66-72 billion barrels,
- Cantarell (Mexico) - 35 billion barrels, of which 18 billion - the recoverable reserves,
- safaniya oil field (Saudi Arabia) - 30 billion barrels,
- Rumaliya (Iraq) - 20 billion barrels,
- Tengiz (Kazakhstan) - 15-26 billion barrels,
- Ahwaz (Iran) - 17 billion barrels,
- Kirkuk (Iraq) - 16 bn.,
- Maroon (Iran) - 16 bn.,
- Daqing (China) - 16mlrd.,
- Gasharan (Iran) - 15 billion.
Thus, the richest reserves of Saudi Arabia has.That there are nearly 265 billion barrels of oil.And that's just in terms of proven data.Enterprising businessmen from many countries tend to occupy this niche.After the oil business - one of the most profitable.Monopoly in this area provides many benefits to its owners.
In second place - Iran.This small country has huge oil reserves.According to recent data - about 138 billion barrels of oil falls on Iran.Iraq is not far behind its neighbor - 115 billion barrels of proven reserves.Followed by Kuwait - 101.5 billion barrels, UAE - nearly 98 billion barrels of oil reserves Venezuela - 80 billion, and, finally, Russia - 79.5 billion barrels.These countries have the largest oil deposits in the world.All other countries have less than 50 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.There are as old man!Yet scientists constantly sounding the alarm, because these reserves are not infinite.Often, development takes barbaric way that leads to extreme exhaustion field and harms not only the areas in which production is carried out, but also the environment.Unfortunately, these facts - not uncommon in our time.But, as history shows, a man in no hurry to think about the future.Yet the good news is that our country is far from being in last place in a number of countries that can boast the presence and development of oil fields.
