Petroleum / Tables and Graphs

Here are tables and graphs detailing on petroleum represented.

overview

After the drilling has been carried out in an oil-bearing reservoir and the drilling fluid has been pumped out, the oil flows to the production wells due to the natural reservoir pressure and erupts to the surface of the earth.

In poor reservoir conditions, such as rapidly falling internal pressure or high flow resistance in the reservoir, the eruptive production often comes to a standstill.

Deep pumps are used as the simplest measure to maintain the delivery rate.

These phases of oil production in a field are called primary production. With primary production, an average of 5 - 10% of the oil originally present in the reservoir can be extracted.

In 2016, 4,382.4 million tons of crude oil were produced worldwide (2011: 4,018.8 million tons).
The most important producing countries were:

•  Saudi Arabia (585.7 million tons)
•  Russia (554.3 million t)
•  United States (543 million t)
•  Iraq (218.9 million t)
•  Canada (218.2 million t)

These countries together had a share of 45.1 percent of world production. Other large development areas in Europe are in Norway and Great Britain . Two of the five largest producers saw their highs in oil production a few decades ago. In 1987 Russia produced 569.5 million tons ( Soviet Union 1987 = 625.2 million tons), the highest amount in history and Iran in 1974 its own highest level with 303.2 million tons.

The eligible reserves, including oil sands and heavy oil were from British Petroleum estimated (BP) 2016 world 240 700 000 000 tons. Venezuela accounted for 17.4% , Saudi Arabia for 15.6% and Canada for 10.0% .

In 2016, 4.418 billion tons of crude oil were consumed worldwide. The USA had the largest share of consumption with 19.5%, the People's Republic of China with 13.1% and India with 4.8%. The amount exported worldwide was 2.228 billion tons.

Saudi Arabia (17.1%), Russia (11.4%) and Iraq (8.5%) had the largest share of exports. The largest importers were the USA (17.1%), the People's Republic of China (16.5%) and India (9.4%).

In 2011, a total of 2.7 million tons of crude oil were produced in Germany (2010: 2.5 million tons). That is 33.8% of the production volume in 1968, when German oil production peaked at 8.0 million tons. According to the 2010 energy study by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Raw Materials, the German oil reserves that can be extracted at current prices and with today's extraction technology totaled 41 million tons in 2010. The economically and technically non-recoverable, as well as not proven, but geologically possible petroleum resources amounted to 20 million tons.

Since more crude oil has been used around the world since the 1980s than has been found, the times given are also problematic, stating that under current conditions - i.e. with unchanged consumption ( static range ) - the crude oil reserves, including oil sand and heavy oil , will last for 56 years in 2011 . In addition, this is misleading, since the daily oil consumption has increased steadily over the past decades and this trend has been reinforced by the great economic growth, especially in the People's Republic of China and India . Furthermore, according to experts, it is unlikely that even larger oil fields will be found in the future that could meet the demand. Other oil deposits such as oil sands would last even longer, but require a much higher amount of energy to be extracted.

Development of the 10 largest oil producing countries

Global oil production. Most countries have peaked and production has been falling since then.

The point in time of the maximum production rate, the maximum oil production , of a country can only be determined with certainty several years after its occurrence. The peak of oil production for six of the ten largest producers was a few years or decades ago. In 1987 Russia produced the highest amount in history with 569.5 million tons ( Soviet Union 1987: 625.2 million tons) and the USA in 2015 with 565.1 million tons. The highest level was reached in Iran in 1974, in Mexico in 2004, in Kuwait in 1972 and in Venezuela in 1970. The previous maximum was only in 7 of the 40 largest producers in 2016. Canada reached the peak of classic oil production in 1973 and already produced 51% of the oil in 2010 all petroleum from oil sands . In addition to the maximum oil production of states, the question of the global maximum oil production (peak oil) is the subject of intense public debate.

The following table shows the year in which the production of a country reached its absolute peak, the current production and its share of the maximum. All figures relate to the states within their current borders.

Reserves by country

Distribution of world oil reserves, Canada including tar sands

Reserves are understood to be the amount of raw materials that can be extracted at current prices and with today's mining technologies. A distinction is made according to

• conventional reserves: free-flowing crude oil in a deposit with an API degree higher than 10 °, for example heavy oil , light oil , condensate
• Non-conventional reserves: limited or non-flowable in the deposit with an API degree of less than 10 °, e.g. extra-heavy oil , oil sands ( bitumen , asphalt ), oil shale

According to BP , the five countries with the largest oil reserves in 2017 were:

•  Venezuela (47.0 billion tons)
•  Saudi Arabia (36.6 billion t)
•  Canada (27.6 billion t)
•  Iran (21.8 billion t)
•  Iraq (20.6 billion t)

Venezuela has overtaken Saudi Arabia at the top of the oil countries and is now the state with the largest, not safely economically recoverable, proven sulfide-rich tars in the world, with production falling in real terms since 2000, whereby Exxon and Statoil have long since withdrawn. According to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the South American country has deposits of 296.5 billion barrels (1 barrel = 159 liters), while the previous leader, Saudi Arabia, can draw on 264.5 billion barrels.

In Venezuela the reserves of extra heavy oil and in Canada the reserves of oil sands were added to the total reserves. However, due to financial, energetic and ecological problems, the extraction from oil sand is not equivalent to the extraction of conventional crude oil and the addition should therefore be viewed critically.

In 2011 it was predicted that the petroleum reserves of 216.9 billion tons including oil sands (26.9 billion tons) and heavy oil (21.2 billion tons) could still cover world consumption for another 56 years. The fact that similar, unrealized predictions have already been made in the past has given rise to the term petroleum constant . Critics of this information point out, however, that the figures have often been falsified for political reasons. In addition, many countries report the same figures every year, even though they produce large amounts of oil at the same time; so the numbers are often not adjusted.

The Federal Institute for Geosciences and Raw Materials differentiates between reserves and resources. The meaning of the two terms is so different in the various languages ​​that a consistent use of the term reserve is almost impossible. In German it usually refers to the part of a resource whose extraction is economical according to the current state of the art . With rising world market prices, deposits can become reserves, and vice versa. Resources, on the other hand, are deposits that are verifiably available but cannot yet be economically extracted. In German, the term of the resource overlaps with that of the occurrence.

The following table shows the countries with the largest indicated oil reserves including oil sands and extra heavy oil in millions of tons and their share of the world reserves in percent.
