List of countries by proven oil reserves - wikipedia List of countries by proven oil reserves Countries by natural gas and oil proven reserves ( 2015 ) A map of world oil reserves according to OPEC , January 2014 Trends in proven oil reserves in top five countries , 1980 -- 2013 ( data from US Energy Information Administration ) This is a list of countries by proven oil reserves . Proven reserves are those quantities of petroleum which , by analysis of geological and engineering data , can be estimated , with a high degree of confidence , to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions . Some statistics on this page are disputed and controversial . Different sources ( OPEC , CIA World Factbook , oil companies ) give different figures . Some of the differences reflect different types of oil included . Different estimates may or may not include oil shale , mined oil sands or natural gas liquids . Map of countries with proven oil reserves - according to U.S. EIA ( start of 2017 ) Because proven reserves include oil recoverable under current economic conditions , nations may see large increases in proven reserves when known , but previously uneconomic deposits become economic to develop . In this way , Canada 's proven reserves increased suddenly in 2003 when the oil sands of Alberta were seen to be economically viable . Similarly , Venezuela 's proven reserves jumped in the late 2000s when the heavy oil of the Orinoco was judged economic .
