Known Coal, Gas, and Oil Reserve by Country Project (Statistics Project Sample) Content: StudentTutorCourseDateKnown Coal, Gas, and Oil Reserve by CountryThe Unites States, Russia, and China are the leading consumers of energy in the world. These three nations produced approximately 31 percent and consumed 41 percent of global total energy in 2014 (Natural Gas - 2015 in Review,2016).It is worth mentioning that the United States was the largest consumer using about three times the energy consumed by China. Currently, coal, natural gas and petroleum account for almost 85 percent of energy production in the world whereas nuclear and hydro resources generated most of the remaining 15 percent (Oil - 2015 in Review, 2016).Data from the United States Energy Information Administration indicates that renewable sources of energy contributed a small amount. Notably, at least two thirds of fossil fuels consumed around the world are used to generate electricity. Certainly, nations around the globe rely on fossil fuels than all other energy sources.OilTotal Oil Supp ly Crude Oil Reserves(Thousand Barrels Per Day) (Billion Barrels)20132014201520142015Life ExpectancySaudi Arabia11701.511623.712014268.35268.28969Russia10757.910847.110980808024United States12342.814020.81270436.52558China4561.124598.05430924.375624.648821Iran3194.33376.613920157.3157.8112Canada4073.074383.324385173.2172.481102Mexico2915.072811.93258810.0739.812111United Arab Emirates3443.713473.71390297.897.879Brazil2710.632966.44252715.049915.314284Venezuela2684.552684.552626297.74298.35287Natural GasNatural Gas ProductionReserves of Natural Gas(Billion Cubic Feet)(Trillion Cubic Feet)2013201420142015Life ExpectancyRussia22139.320436.7916881688.2378United States2433425728338.264342.4213Canada5128.835338.49866.72171.794104Iran5696.06572911931201.38187Qatar5597.535727885.287871.585138Norway3840.01397 5.76373.80672.358102China39864291.338155.382163.95929Netherlands3051.962481.0233.74431.702104Saudi Arabia3526.23615.55290.811294.31172Algeria2812.772972159.1159.054128CoalPrimary Coal ProductionProved Reserves  (Thousand Short Tons) (Million Tonnes)201120122015Life ExpectancyChina38780124017919.9511450067United States10956281016458.418237295447India633773.9649643.892860600239Australia443390.4463783.174576400279Russia354869.3390152.0826157010921South Africa278616.9285831.540230156211Indonesia397202.5488112.288528017117Germany207852.9217144.314740548917Poland152680158197.11255465821Kazakhstan128364.2138917.686833600589Hydraulic fracturing is a method that is commonly used in the United States to increase the flow of gas or oil in a well.
