Saudi Light Crude Oil

img
Saudi Arabia is the world’s leading oil producer and exporter, and its location in the politically volatile Gulf region adds an element of concern for its major customers, including the United States. Saudi Arabia maintains crude oil production capacity of around 10.5-11.0 million bbl/d, and claims that it is “easily capable” of producing up to 15 million bbl/d in the future and maintaining that production level for 50 years.

Saudi Arabia contains 261.9 billion barrels of proven oil reserves (including 2.5 billion barrels in the Saudi-Kuwaiti Divided, aka “Neutral” Zone), around one-fourth of proven, conventional world oil reserves. Around two-thirds of Saudi reserves are considered “light” or “extra light” grades of oil, with the rest either “medium” or “heavy.”
