Oil reserves
Shown is the total proven reserves of oil, in tonnes. This is oil that we know with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future under existing economic andoperating conditions. Proven reserves decrease when we extract oil, and increase as new resources are discovered or become economically viable to extract.
