Oil Reserves in PakistanPakistan holds 353,500,000 barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2016, ranking 52nd in the world and accounting for about 0.0% of the world's total oil reserves of 1,650,585,140,000 barrels. Pakistan has proven reserves equivalent to 1.7 times its annual consumption.
Oil Reserves in IndiaIndia holds 4,728,790,000 barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2016, ranking 24th in the world and accounting for about 0.3% of the world's total oil reserves of 1,650,585,140,000 barrels. India has proven reserves equivalent to 2.9 times its annual consumption.
A lack of new oil discoveries in India coupled with a long lead time to begin production from discovered wells has led to a steady decline in India's crude oil production making India increasingly dependent on imports. The output of these aging wells is declining faster than new wells can come up according to experts.
The United States holds 35,230,000,000 barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2016, ranking 11th in the world and accounting for about 2.1% of the world's total oil reserves of 1,650,585,140,000 barrels. The United States has proven reserves equivalent to 4.9 times its annual consumption.
On June 6, former Union petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that high fuel prices in India were due to rising global crude oil prices. Fuel prices in India remain high despite fluctuations in global crude prices, nor do they shift along with exchange rates, IndiaSpend's analysis of data since 2019-2020 shows.
Saudi Arabia's National Day
| Population (million inhabitants) | 34.22 |
|---|
| Proven crude oil reserves (million barrels) | 258,600 |
| Proven natural gas reserves (billion cu. m.) | 9,423 |
| Crude oil production *(1,000 b/d) | 9,808.2 |
| Marketed production of natural gas (million cu. m.) | 117,000.0 |
Various studies show that the total remaining recoverable oil resources would last 190 years, natural gas 230 years, and coal, a whopping 2900 years. These numbers apply if current rates of production hold for centuries to come, which may not be the case.
The Petroleum is called black gold because when the crude oil is extracted from the soil below, it is black in colour. But after the purification of black crude oil, it gives golden colour.
Coal, natural gas, and petroleum are all fossil fuels that formed under similar conditions. Today, petroleum is found in vast underground reservoirs where ancient seas were located. Petroleum reservoirs can be found beneath land or the ocean floor. Their crude oil is extracted with giant drilling machines.
Assam , Gujarat and Rajasthan , which together account for more than 96 per cent of oil from onshore fields, and from the aged offshore Mumbai High Field .
Traditionally, Opec+ and Saudi Arabia have been India's mainstay suppliers, accounting for 86% of Indian oil imports.
A litre of petrol costs Rs 95.85 in the national capital, highest ever. While petrol has become expensive by up to 31 paise, diesel is costlier by up to 28 paise on Friday, according to Indian Oil Corporation. In Mumbai, a litre of diesel is being sold at ₹94.15 for a litre.
According to the IEA, India has an estimated 1,340 bcm of relatively easy-to-extract natural gas reserves, and another 108 bcm of so-called “unconventional” methane reserves, which require more specialised equipment, techniques and money to extract.

Over the past decade, the industry's profits have sagged, revenues and cash flows have withered, bankruptcies have abounded, stock prices have fallen, massive capital investments have been written off as worthless and fossil fuel investors have lost hundreds of billions of dollars.
Conclusion: how long will fossil fuels last? It is predicted that we will run out of fossil fuels in this century. Oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years. Yet, renewable energy is not popular enough, so emptying our reserves can speed up.
Coal forms wherever plants were buried in sediments in ancient swamps, but several conditions must exist for petroleum — which includes oil and natural gas — to form. And in places like the Salt Lake in Utah and the Black Sea, oil continues to be formed today.
There's close alignment across the scenarios. In our AET-2 scenario, oil demand falls by 70% to 35 million b/d by 2050, decline setting in as electric vehicles and hydrogen disrupt road transportation, while recycling limits the feedstock demand growth for plastics.
The American Petroleum Institute estimated in 1999 the world's oil supply would be depleted between 2062 and 2094, assuming total world oil reserves at between 1.4 and 2 trillion barrels.
Oil Production By Country 2021
| Country | Crude Oil Production (thousands barrels per day) | 2021 Population |
|---|
| United States | 12108 | 332,915,073 |
| Russia | 10835 | 145,912,025 |

According to the British Petroleum's 2019 Statistical Review of World Energy, the total proved reserves of the planet's oil at that time was 1,733.9 billion barrels.
A process is under development for making polyesters which is independent of crude oil, since it uses ethylene as its feedstock. Ethylene, conveniently, can be made out of natural gas liquids, or even shale gas itself. First, a trimer molecule, containing 6 carbon atoms, is formed from ethylene.
