The Oil World Map
This is an interactive map in Flash which shows the
30 top countries with the most oil reserves as reported by the ASPO statistics.
Moving the mouse over any of the marked countries shows this data:
(a) ranking, (b) name, (c) total of present reserves+discoveries,
(d) present reserves and expected future discoveries in brackets,
(e) how long their oil would last if the world was using only it*,
and (f) the year their production peaked/is expected to peak.
Ranking is based on total reserves (known and future); the length of time
also uses this figure.
*For example, the world consumed 30.5 gigabarrels
of oil in 2005 so if a country's oil reserves were 15 Gb, it would last
the world about six months.
The map requires the Flash plugin which can be downloaded free from the
Macromedia website.
