The oil world. Oil deposits all over the world

It is impossible even to imagine our world without oil and its derivatives. Nobody will argue with the fact that this is a valuable mineral for a person. Oil is the raw material for the fuel, chemical, construction and even medical industries.

Where do they get such a valuable product? What are the largest oil fields known all over the world? Which countries are leading in the extraction of this mineral? Which oil fields are known in Russia? About this and talk.

So, the largest oil deposits, open to date, are:

- Gavar (Saudi Arabia) - estimated oil reserves of about 80 billion barrels,

- Burgan (Kuwait) - 66-72 billion barrels,

- Cantarel (Mexico) - 35 billion barrels, of which 18 billion - recoverable reserves,

- Safania-Khafji (Saudi Arabia) - 30 billion barrels,

- Rumaliya (Iraq) - 20 billion barrels,

- Tengiz (Kazakhstan) - 15-26 billion barrels,

- Ahvaz (Iran) - 17 billion barrels,

- Kirkuk (Iraq) - 16 billion,

- Maroon (Iran) - 16 billion,

- Daqing (China) - 16 billion.,

- Gasharan (Iran) - 15 billion.

Thus, Saudi Arabia has the richest reserves. It is there that almost 265 billion barrels of oil are located. And this is only from proven data. Enterprising businessmen of many countries of the world are trying to occupy this niche. After all, the oil business is one of the most profitable. Monopoly in this area gives many advantages to its owners.

Iran is on the second place. This small country has huge oil reserves. According to the latest data, about 138 billion barrels fall on Iran. Iraq is not far behind its neighbor - 115 billion barrels of proven reserves. Kuwait follows - 101.5 billion barrels, the UAE - almost 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 contain less than 50 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. There is more than to spare a man! But nevertheless scientists tirelessly sound alarm, after all these stocks are not infinite. Often the development takes place in a barbarous way, which leads to extreme depletion of the deposit and damages not only the area in which the production is done, but also the environment. Unfortunately, such facts are not uncommon in our time. But, as history shows, a person does not hurry to think about the future. Still, it's consoling that our country is not in the last place in a number of countries that can boast of the availability and development of oil fields.

The main oil fields in Russia territorially fall to Western Siberia, the regions of the Volga region, the North Caucasus, Eastern Siberia, the Timan-Pechersky region, and the Far Eastern regions. Here are located both old developed deposits, and new ones, only gaining their turnover.

Oil is the object of desire in many countries of the world. Russia was lucky enough to have this valuable resource in sufficient quantity on its territory. Despite this, careful treatment of these stocks is very important. This topic is especially relevant in recent times. After all, every day, oil reserves on our planet is getting smaller and smaller. As in any other business, sanity, planning, prudence and concern for the future are especially important in the oil business. After all, we are not the last generation on Earth!
