Paddywhack Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Wait, there’s a green country there that’s not labelled, what country is that? Or is it a state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Austria is in there twice in two different colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(about 2 years ago maybe) A lot of Brazil's reserves are as yet still unproven and the subject of quite a bit of debate from what I've read. Basically there's a shitload of oil there but as yet they really don't know how much in some of the newer bigger fields, so they probably aren't included as I think the data refers to proven reserves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The thing with crude oil as well is it comes in different types. If I remember Saudis is 'light sweet' crude which is perfect for making petrol, whereas Irans is heavy crude which requires a lot more processing to make into useable fuel.

So basically, the Saudi stuff is ideal for drizzling on a salad, and the Iranian more for frying chips? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, which is why Brazil is a net exporter but still has to import too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
