Proven reserves (also called measured reserves, 1P, and reserves) is a measure of fossil fuel energy reserves, such as oil and gas reserves and coal reserves. It is defined as the "quantity of energy sources estimated with reasonable certainty, from the analysis of geologic and engineering data, to be recoverable from well established or known ...
Proven oil reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated, with a high degree of confidence, to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions.
Reserves are defined in three sub-categories according to the system used in the PRMS: Proven (1P), Probable and Possible. Reserves defined as Probable and Possible are incremental (or additional) discovered volumes based on geological and/or engineering criteria similar to those used in estimating Proven reserves.
There is some disagreement on which country has the largest proven gas reserves. Sources that consider Russia in possession of the world's largest proven reserves include the US CIA (47,600 cubic kilometers), [ 2 ] the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) (49,000 km 3 ), [ 3 ] and OPEC (48,810 km 3 ).

Countries by natural gas proven reserves (2014), based on data from The World Factbook. This article includes a chart representing proven reserves, production, consumption, exports and imports of natural gas by country. Below the numbers there is specified which position a country holds by the corresponding parameter.
Countries by natural gas proven reserves (2014), based on data from The World Factbook. Natural gas is a widely available fossil fuel with estimated 850 000 km 3 in recoverable reserves and at least that much more using enhanced methods to release shale gas. Improvements in technology and wide exploration led to a major increase in recoverable ...

A map of world oil reserves according to U.S. EIA, 2017. In January 2007, Saudi Aramco's proven reserves were estimated at 41.3 billion m 3 (259.9 billion bbl), comprising about 24% of the world total. [11] They would last for 90 years at the current rate of production. 85% of Saudi oil fields found have not been extracted yet.
