Oil-producing countries outside OPEC.

Possible to divide the non-OPEC countries to (a producer / importer), led by the United States, China, Britain and India, and to some extent Brazil. And countries (producer / exporter) of Russia, Norway, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Canada, Oman, Azerbaijan and other countries. During the past two decades, boosted some countries, especially Canada and Russia, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Azerbaijan, Sudan, reserves significantly, offsetting the significant decline in reserves of other producing countries such as Mexico, Norway and Britain. With the start of many projects, would increase supplies from Brazil, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and the United States and Canada On the other hand will continue production in Mexico, Britain and Norway declined.States (produced / imported) non-OPEC countries.Studies indicate that the reserves of the States (produced / imported) did not achieve any remarkable increase during the past two decades. Have stabilized oil reserves in the United States at about 21 billion barrels, while oil production fell to less than 5 million barrels a day. , While the consumption to 20.7 million barrels per day, and in 2006 Britain stopped exporting oil and turn it into a net importer due to the depletion of reserves in the North Sea fields. The production of Brent crude dropped to around 1.4 million barrels after it had been about 2.5 million barrels in 2000.China has produced a total of 3.3 million barrels of oil per day in 2008, mostly from fields in three decades, Daqing and Shengli, east China, and thus is ranked third after Russia and the United States within the producing countries outside OPEC. But China is the second largest consumer of oil in the world (7.3 million barrels per day) and is expected to increase imports of oil accounting for 70% of the total requirements compared with about 50% currently. China recently announced plans to explore 16 Petrolia field by the year 2015, the reserves may exceed 10 billion barrels. So as to compensate for the shortfall in their reserves, which fell to 16 billion barrels by the end of 2008. India has suffered from its part, some increase in reserves of nearly a billion barrels, while the consumption to about 2.6 million barrels per day, while Brazil has achieved some balance between production and consumption at about 2.2 million barrels a day, and increased its reserves since 1995 for up to 13 billion barrels. And discovered Brazil recently a number of oil fields, the huge superiority reserves are 33 billion barrels, and it will take to begin production about ten years if there is the huge investments necessary because of the existence of these reservoirs in deep water, which can reach its production cost to about $ 90 a barrel.States (producer / exporter) outside OPEC.In addition to the list of the ten largest oil-exporting countries, there are additional countries beyond the President of Argentina, Yemen, Gabon, Malaysia, Syria, Chad, Denmark. The major countries Vtaatsderha Russia, which is the second largest producer and exporter of oil in the world after Saudi Arabia, has been able to Russia to develop its reserves of petroleum to reach more than 60 billion barrels in the fields north of the Caspian Sea, Siberia, and on the supplies arrived in Russian production to 9.8 million barrels per day and exports 6.9 million barrels per day in 2008.In the neighboring countries made Central Asia States bordering the Caspian Sea, particularly Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, a quantum leap in their reserves as much as 90 billion barrels, and production reached more than 2.3 million barrels per day, is exported more than three quarters of this amount through pipelines or tankers to refineries in southern Europe on the Mediterranean, and is characterized by the oil produced in the Caspian Sea that is a high quality and low specific weight and contains a small percentage of sulfur, due to high export dependence on domestic coal and natural gas as the main source of energy, particularly electricity generation.And occupy Norway and Mexico ranked second and the third between exporting countries outside OPEC capacity of up to 4.2 million barrels a day, but both countries have witnessed a significant decrease in the reserves and supplies, and some analysts expect the stop Mexico for export by the year 2015, the end of 2008, the exports of Norway to 2.1 million barrels, while the reserves recorded a decline to 6.7 billion barrels, but for exports to Mexico amounted to 1.6 million barrels per day, while reserves fell from 50 billion barrels in 1995 to 11 billion barrels currently.And Canada is at the forefront of producing countries - exporters in terms of reserves, which reached to 178 billion barrels, representing the oil can be extracted from the sands of oil about 95% of this reserve, and is concentrated mostly in the northern Alberta, and as a result of huge investment for a number of oil companies the world in the past the last, oil production reached from the sand to about 1.5 million barrels, was mostly via pipelines to nearby U.S. markets. According to the production conditions, it can cost up to draw oil from the sand to about $ 35 per barrel.For African countries, especially Sudan and other small-scale producers such as Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Chad, the reserves increased significantly, but there are some technical and operational constraints to raise production, which does not exceed one million barrels per day.
