| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Saudi Arabia holds about 25 percent of the world's proven oil reserves, is by far the largest exporter of oil, and maintains the largest spare production capacity in the world. US oil production started to decline in 1970, while US energy needs have skyrocketed since that time, and the United States is now the world's largest oil consumer. |
