The mineral-packed Ural Mountains and the vast fossil fuel (oil, gas, coal), and timber reserves of Siberia and the Russian Far East make Russia rich in natural resources, which dominate Russian exports.
Russia has the largest fuel reserves in the world and one of the largest producers by a big margin. It has a 12-13 % share in global oil exports. Russia has averaged a staggering 10 million barrels a day in the last decade and even with growing local demand, exports have increased over time.
