Here’s the data for the top 15 countries below:

Rank Country Oil Reserves (Barrels)
#1 ?? Venezuela 300.9 billion
#2 ?? Saudi Arabia 266.5 billion
#3 ?? Canada 169.7 billion
#4 ?? Iran 158.4 billion
#5 ?? Iraq 142.5 billion

#12 ?? Kazakhstan 30.0 billion
#13 ?? China 25.6 billion
#14 ?? Qatar 25.2 billion
#15 ?? Brazil 12.7 billion

Venezuela tops the list with 300.9 billion barrels of oil in reserve – but even this vast wealth in natural resources has not been enough to save the country from its recent economic and humanitarian crisis.

Saudi Arabia, a country known for its oil dominance, takes the #2 spot with 266.5 billion barrels of oil. Meanwhile, Canada and the U.S. are found at the #3 (169.7 billion bbls) and the #11 (36.5 billion bbls) spots respectively.

Some of those reserves, like Venezuela are pretty low quality oil. And is Canada mostly shale oil?
