- List of oil fields
-
This list of oil fields includes some major oil fields of the past and present. The list is incomplete; there are more than 40,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world.[1] However, 94% of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1500 giant and major fields.[2] The largest fields are located in Siberia[citation needed] and the Middle East.
Amounts given are estimated ultimate recoverable resources (proved reserves plus cumulative production), given current technology, in barrels. Oil shale reserves (perhaps 3 trillion barrels (4.8×1011 m3)) and non-conventional sources are not included in this chart. Coal (which can be converted to liquid petroleum) is also not included in this chart.
