2014 by region
Total world proved oil reserves reached 1700.1 billion barrels at the end of 2014, sufficient to meet 52.5 years of global production. The largest addition to reserves came from Saudi Arabia, adding 1.1 billion barrels. The largest decline came from Russia, where reserves fell by 1.9 billion barrels. OPEC countries continue to hold the majority of the world’s reserves, accounting for 71.6% of the global total. South & Central America continues to hold the highest R/P ratio, more than 100 years. Over the past decade, global proved reserves have increased by 24%, or more than 330 billion barrels.
