Oil reserves A map of world oil reserves, 2013. Oil reserves are the amount of technically and economically recoverable oil. Reserves may be for a well, for a reservoir, for a field, for a nation, or for the world. Different classifications of reserves are related to their degree of certainty. The total estimated amount of oil in an oil reservoir, including both producible and non-producible oil, is called oil in place.

Venezuela Has Worldâs Largest Oil Reserves But the country has the world’s largest oil reserves, even greater than Saudi Arabia. According to the CIA Factbook, this is how the top 10 look in terms of proved reserves: The United States is 11th on the list at 36,520,000,000 BBL. All the numbers are unreliable if shale deposits are taken out. Venezuela’s problem is that it cannot get oil out of the ground. If it could, crude sales might produce enough money to solve some of the nation’s problems.

DEFINITION of 'Oil Reserves' An estimate of the amount of crude oil located in a particular economic region. Oil reserves must have the potential of being extracted under current technological constraints. For example, if oil pools are located at unattainable depths, they would not be considered part of the nation's reserves.n estimate of the amount of crude oil located in a particular economic region.
