Energy Insight: Reserves: OPEC production & reserves (DSS03)
OPEC production
OPEC reserves
The share of gas reserves has fallen more sharply, from a high of 49.6% in 2016 to 29.2% in 2020, mainly due to Qatar leaving OPEC after 2017– not compensated by The Republic of the Congo, and Equatorial Guinea joining.
