List of oil fields
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of oil fields includes major fields of the past and present. The list is incomplete; there are more than 40,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world[1].
However, 94% of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1500 giant and major fields [2]
N.B. Some of the items listed are basins that are composed of many fields (e.g. Campos Basin). The largest discovered conventional oil field is the Ghawar Field (75-83 billion); some unconventional oil fields, such as tar sand deposits, contain even greater reserves like Venezuela's Orinoco Tar sands which contain the biggest oil reserves in the world.
Amounts given are estimated ultimate recoverable resources (proved reserves plus cumulative production) in barrels. Non-conventional oil fields are indicated in italics.
