GLOBAL RESERVES<br />

Crude oil<br />

Crude oil is found on all continents of the world. The Middle<br />

East is by far the region where the largest proven oil reserves<br />

are found, followed by Russia/Caspian and Africa. In total,<br />

global proven oil reserves amounted to 1,189 billion bbls at<br />

the end of 2004, of which 62 percent was attributable to the<br />

Middle East.<br />

Natural gas<br />

As well as oil, natural gas exists on all continents. However, the<br />

reserves of natural gas are distributed diff erently compared<br />

to the oil reserves. At the end of 2004 there was 179.5 trillion<br />

m3 of proven natural gas reserves, of which the Middle East<br />

had 40 percent and Russia/Caspian 32 percent.<br />

The growing gap<br />

The world has up until now been supplied by oil discovered<br />

particularly from 1950 through to the 1970. Despite<br />

signifi cant improvements in technology the industry has<br />

not discovered enough new reserves to replace the oil being<br />

consumed since the mid 1980s (see World Oil Demand<br />

graph). The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that<br />

global oil production will increase by less than one percent<br />

up to 2030.<br />

Competition - Partners<br />

The players in the oil and gas market consist of national oil<br />

companies (eg. Aramco, CNPC, Petronas, Statoil), the big<br />

integrated oil companies, the majors (eg. Exxon, Shell, BP)<br />

and independent oil companies such as Talisman Energy,<br />

Tullow Oil and <strong>Lundin</strong> <strong>Petroleum</strong>.<br />

The main strategy of the national oil companies is to secure<br />

the energy supply for their respective countries. They often<br />

have downstream operations i.e. refi neries and distribution<br />

network/petrol stations.<br />
