Top ten largest oil fields in the world

by Uni Royalties Uni Royality The world today consumes enormous amounts of oil. Specifically, daily consumes about 84 million barrels. So where these pumped oil? Statistics say that 94% of the total oil production comes from 3% in oil fields - field’s colossal giant reserves sufficient to appease us oil. Neither being interested to mention giants of yesterday, we are not interested nor giants today. Extracting oil is such that once production has peaked, it decreases rapidly. So rather we want to know which are the giants who will be headlining over a decade: https://sellroyalties123.wordpress.com/2015/05/05/difference-between-oil-royalties-for-leasing-and-the-oil-royalties-for-sale/

1. Ghawar, Saudi Arabia, 30 billion barrels.
King of the past and future king. Saudi geologists estimated, Ghavar holds 100 billion barrels of recoverable oil. With a length of 260 km long and 26 km wide, Ghawar twisted minds of most experienced geologists. Being in operation for over 60 years (came into operation in 1951) with over 60 billion barrels extracted, you can easily believe that the greatness of this field will set soon. However, Saudi geologists argue that the field has at least 100 billion barrels of reserves, which can be extracted with modern technologies in amounts of 4.5-5 million barrels per day.

2. West Qurna, Iraq. 21 billion barrels.
This field was awarded for mining giant oil companies ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell. They will develop it in the first extraction stage 9 billion barrels, aimed at raising production to 300,000 barrels / day to 2.3 barrels / day. It’s strange how 2 companies from countries that invaded Iraq in 2003 arrived today to exploit this giant ... however Contract specifies that the field will remain in state ownership after the first phase.

3. Majnoon, Iraq. 13 billion barrels.
Huge reserves concentrated in an area so small and so easy operation was so amazing, that was called "Majnoon" - "crazy" in Arabic. This free oil has not been exploited before due to proximity to Iran, and Iraq-Iran war in the 80s, the wells were blocked for fear that Iran could be the target of attacks. The field produces just 50,000 barrels / day, but has the potential to reach 1.8 million.

4. Rumaila, Iraq.17 miliarde de barili.
BP and China National Petroleum Company won its first contract in the post-Saddam to rebuild Rumaila. Located on the border with Kuwait, the field is already producing over a million barrels / day. Partners plans to spend $ 15 billion to bring production field value of 2.85 million barrels / day. Thus Rumaila would reach the second largest in the world after the Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia.

5. Kuzestan, Iran. 100 billion barrels.
Kuzestan is an oil field is actually the Iranian province on the border with Iraq's, from which 90% of Iran's oil production. Ahwaz, Yadavaran, Soussangerd - these are just some super fields of cups provinces. Iraq Majnoon field may lie in the province Kuzestan.

6. Kashagan, Kazakhstan.
9 miliarde barrels. So I left the Persian Gulf. Do figures will become less spectacular? Let's see. The field was discovered in 2000. The development costs of the project were initially estimated at $ 100 billion, and are likely to be exceeded. The Government of Kazakhstan is likely to be the only winner in from the project because after 10 years of development and billions invested field, foreign consortium of investors has not any barrel of oil extracted. Production sharing contract expires without them fail to pump enough oil to gain and profit from infrastructure built (which then remain in state ownership Kazakh). Asians Asti and have poor deluded Western Petroleum mammoths.

7. Khurais, Saudi Arabia. 27 billion barrels.
Let's go back to the Arabs. They exploit their own oil, so the Saudis recently completed construction of a water injection system for large reservoirs field to raise production that began in the 80s of 140,000 barrels / day (total Romania produce 117,000 barrels per day) - from 1.2 million. Cute.

8. Tupi, Brazil. 8 billion barrels.
This field was revolutionary discovery of Brazil, the first in a series of discoveries, such as Jupiter and Carioca. Located 2 km underwater 4 sub sand and rock, then another 1.5 km of salt. Its development is very expensive to drill a single well cost $ 100 million.

9. Carabobo, Venezuela. 15 billion barrels.
Coooomandante ... Hugo Chavez... Yes, Hugo Chavez crazy. Nationalized everything that falls under the hand - banks, factories, retail stores (probably at the insistence of his wife), even oil companies. But to develop the Carabobo heavy oil giant field, he turned to foreign corporations. First they will develop the field, and then it will nationalize Hugo. Until then Chavez needs foreign capital and technology.

10. Costinesti, Romania, the Black Sea. https://youtu.be/gDDuTtwk_3s
100 billion barrels. Ok, kidding. Romania has no major oil reserves. Yes, OMV billion profit made in our country, but those are crumbs attached desert elephants in the Arabian Peninsula. Maybe it's even better because besides always about big oil reserves Chavez appears each one, one Saddam, Ahmadinejad and other thugs. Then you Americans hold fast to democratize, women begin to not have the right to vote, drive a car and carry cleavage, etc. Better import from Russia. Here we can mention but a few mega still fields - North Slope, Alaska; Oil sands in Alberta, Canada; Carioca, Brazil, etc.
