SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS 

FOR 120 COUNTRIES, INCLUDING OFFSHORE AREAS

By JOHN P. ALBERS, M. DEVEREUX CARTER, ALLEN L. CLARK, 

ANNY B. COURY, and STANLEY P. SCHWEINFURTH

INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The purpose of this report is to bring together, in 

statistical form, available information on world-wide 

production, reserves, and resources, and certain 

other data relevant to some of the principal fuels 

and minerals that either are produced or are likely 

to be produced from offshore deposits. Data on 120 

countries are included in a series of country profiles; 

of these, all but 14 border on oceans or inland seas.

The data were computerized for ready storage and 

retrieval and were placed in a resource data file. 

Coastal lengths and seaward areas to 200 and 3,000 

meters of water depth and to a distance of 200 

nautical miles offshore are given in table 1. Tables 

2-8 show historical data on petroleum activity within the 120 countries with particular emphasis on production and resource potential, which have a direct 

impact on economics and trades. Tables 9-12 indicate imports, exports, and production of the four 

principal metals contained in manganese nodules. 

Tables 13 and 14 present 1971 oil and natural gas 

production, cumulative production, reserves, and resource information for the 120 countries, under six 

continental groupings. Subtotals for the continents 

and the 120 country totals are minimum values because of the unavailability of some data, particularly 

onshore-offshore production and reserves breakdowns for many countries.

The quantities of oil reported include varying 

amounts of natural gas liquids. All data are given 

for the latest year available at the time of this 

report.

The American system of punctuating numbers, in 

which periods indicate decimals and commas indicate 

units of thousands, is utilized throughout the report.

The following definitions and abbreviations are 

used: Thousand = 103 , million = 106 , billion = 109 , trillion =1012, NA = not available, Negl = negligible, SI= 

shut in (well capable of producing, but production 

facilities are shut down).

When the data source quoted figures in the currency of a particular country, conversions were made 

according to "International Financial Statistics" (International Monetary Fund, 1972).

The continents designated are North America, 

South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania 

as listed in "Status of the World's Nations" (U.S. 

Department of State, 1969b). Insular countries are 

identified with the nearest continent.

The basic information in the report was obtained 

from the dispatches of the U.S. Department of 

State, from various other unpublished reports including United Nations reports, from U.S. Bureau of 

Mines commodity specialists, and from sources in the 

list of published references. Geographical and geological data were compiled by E. G. A. Weed and 

J. I. Tracey, Jr. Gus Goudarzi was helpful in verifying data on copper, nickel, manganese, and cobalt. 

Robert M. Turner assisted in compiling the tabulated 

material. Nancy A. Wright arranged and implemented computerization of the data which resulted 

in tables 1-12. Richard F. Meyer provided invaluable 

technical assistance.

TABULATED DATA ON INDIVIDUAL

COUNTRIES 

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Category: Countries are categorized according to 

their relationship to the major bordering water 

body, if any, and categories are not necessarily 

exclusive. Four categories are used: landlocked, 

shelf locked, archipelago, and open shelf. Countries designated shelf locked do not have access to 

contiguous water deeper than 200 meters. For 

example, countries bordering the Baltic Sea are 

considered shelf locked but countries bordering the 

Red Sea are considered open shelf because the Red 

Sea exceeds 200 meters in depth. Countries designated archipelago comprise an island group on a 

shelf. The map "Boundaries of Separate Seabed 

Areas of Contrasting Topographic Gradients"
SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES

(U.S. Department 6f State, 1971) was used to determine shelf area.

Bordering water body: The fifteen major water 

bodies used are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and 

Arctic Oceans; the Mediterranean, South China, 

Caribbean, East China, Japan, North, Red, Black, 

and Baltic Seas; the Persian Gulf, and Gulf of 

Mexico. For each country, water bodies are listed 

in order of decreasing length of bordering coastline.

Coastal length: Distances given in nautical miles 

represent the length of coastline which faces the 

sea exclusive of detailed irregularities. Data are 

taken from "Sovereignty of the Sea" (U.S. Department of State, 1969a).

Shelf and margin: For purposes of this study, the 

continental shelf is defined as the area within the 

200-meter isobath. The seaward edge of the continental margin is defined by the 3,000-meter isobath. Areal figures given in square nautical miles 

are rounded to the nearest hundred. Data are from 

"Limits in the Seas" (U.S. Department of State, 

1972).

Geology: Sedimentary and crystalline are used to 

designate the geology. Where both types of rocks 

occur, the first type listed covers more than 50 percent of the area. If the country has a bordering 

water body, the geology is limited to coastal onshore and offshore. For landlocked countries, the 

geology refers to the entire land area. Determinations were made from "World Subsea Mineral Resources" (McKelvey and Wang, 1970).

Coastal and offshore placers: Placer deposits are 

listed within classifications of active mines, known 

deposits or areas of exploration, and onshore 

source deposits. Minerals are indicated by the following symbols: Ag, silver; Au, gold; Cu, copper; 

Fe, iron; Hg, mercury; Ni, nickel; Pt, platinum; 

Sn, tin; Ti, titanium-bearing minerals; W, tungsten ; c, coal; cr, chromite; d, diamond; g, sand and 

gravel dredging; 1m, lime mud; Is, limestone; m, 

monazite; sh, shell; and z, zircon. Distribution of 

minerals was obtained from McKelvey and Wang 

(1970, sheet 2).

1. Imports and exports of oil and natural gas: 

Figures for imports and exports of oil include refined products unless otherwise indicated. A conversion factor of 7.3 barrels per 

metric ton (world average for crude) was 

used for imports. For exports, the following 

conversion factors for crude oil were used in 

converting metric tons to United States barrels of 42 gallons for each country.

It should be understood that refined petroleum products have a broad range of specific 

volumes, ranging from 5.5 barrels per metric 

ton for petroleum coke to 11.6 barrels per 

metric ton for liquified petroleum gas.

2A. Annual production since 1960: In converting 

oil production figures from barrels to metric 

tons and metric tons to barrels, the conversion factors given above in the previous listing were used. If a country is not listed in 

the tabulation the world average of 7.3 barrels per metric ton was used. This also applies to cumulative production, proved recoverable reserves, and exports.

Natural gas production is gross production 

and includes flared, vented, or reinjected gas, 

unless otherwise indicated to be net (marketed) production.

2B. Cumulative production: Total cumulative production is for years indicated. Where pre1960 production figures were not available, 

totals are given only for 1960-71.

3A. Proved recoverable reserves: Defined as estimated remaining reserves as of December 

31,1971, unless otherwise indicated.

3B. Potential resources (ultimate recoverable resources) : The quantities of crude oil 

and natural gas that are believed to be present in the sedimentary rocks of unexplored 

or partly explored regions and that are potentially available through intensive exploration are estimates of the potential resources. 

The actual quantities that ultimately will be 

found and produced depend upon combinations of future developments in demand,
SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES

technology, and economics. The degree to 

which prognostic estimates and actual ultimate discoveries agree is a measure mainly 

of the validity of the estimation procedure 

and, to a lesser extent, of the adequacy of 

the exploratory efforts.

Each potential resource estimate in this 

report is given in terms of a numerical rating 

scale that represents a range of more-orless rough approximations instead of a specific quantity that might imply a misleading 

degree of precision, accuracy, or certainty. 

The definitions of the rating categories are 

as follows. (Oil is in billions of barrels of 42 

U.S. gallons, or 150 millions of metric tons. 

Gas is in trillions of cubic feet, or 30 billions 

of cubic meters.)

For the United States, where relatively 

abundant data exist, the estimates are relatively accurate. For countries with fewer 

basic data, resource estimates were obtained 

by comparing them with the United States 

on a regional basis; where an incompletely 

explored region is thought to be geologically 

similar to some area in the United States, 

the two were assumed to have the same 

resource potential per unit of surface area 

and an estimate was calculated. By then 

summing the individual estimates for all 

areas of each country, taking into consideration the entire surface area of each, the estimated oil-in-place and gas-in-place for each 

country were totaled. However, because of 

economic or geotechnical limitations, not all 

of the oil-in-place and gas-in-place can be 

recovered. Therefore, the in-place figures 

were multiplied by estimated fractional recovery factors and reduced totals (ultimate 

recoverable resources) for each country were 

obtained. A potential resource category was 

then assigned to each country, on the basis 

of these totals, by reference to the table of 

rating categories. Generally, the estimated 

resource assigned to a country will fall at 

about the midpoint of the class. Sometimes 

the combined offshore and onshore potential

will add up to the next higher class.

This procedure was followed for all recognized potential onshore areas and offshore 

areas to a water depth of 200 meters. The 

method was appropriately modified, wherever necessary* for countries or regions that 

have histories of petroleum exploration and 

development and for which specific data are 

available.

This work was based on the method of 

Hendricks (1965) and incorporates the most 

up-to-date data available from the petroleum 

industry literature. Historical data useful 

for the purpose of defining potential resources are those that have resulted from 

exploration, drilling, field development, reserve estimates, and production efforts. Data 

related only to marketing, refining, or transportation are not pertinent and have not 

been used.

4A. Number of production and exploratory wells 

completed in 1971: Production wells, often 

called development wells, are drilled within a 

proved field area with expectations of being 

completed as producing wells. Exploratory 

wells, often called wildcat wells, are drilled 

in an unproved area, although extensive preliminary exploration may have taken place, 

including geophysical reconnaissance, detailed seismic surveys, subsurface mapping, 

and the drilling of other exploratory wells.

"Offshore exploratory, < 200 m" refers to 

wells completed in water less than 200 meters deep (approx 100 fathoms or 660 ft). 

"Offshore exploratory, > 200 m" refers to 

wells completed in water deeper than 200 

meters.

Where there was no drilling activity in 

1971, but previous significant drilling was 

known to have taken place, these data are 

provided in a footnote to 4A. Where it is 

known that there has never been any drilling activity onshore or offshore in a given 

country, 4A reads: Number of production 

and exploratory wells completed through 

1971, rather than in 1971.

4B. Number of wells producing in 1971: Producing 

wells include flowing and pumping wells. The 

totals include both oil and gas wells, where 

available. However, the number of producing gas wells was often not available. 

5. Instances of licensing for offshore exploration 

for oil and gas: The terms used in this section are specifically defined in the Petroleum
SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES

Code of each country. The following general 

definitions can be used as a guide:

Exploration permit. A nonexclusive permit authorizing only exploration (seismic, gravity meter, 

or coreholes) in a specific area during a finite period of time. Several companies may be granted exploration permits to the same offshore tract.

Concession. An exclusive agreement, usually 

with a foreign government, permitting a company 

(or companies) to prospect for and produce oil 

and gas, or minerals, in a specific area for a specific period of time. There is usually a provision for 

a royalty to be paid to the foreign government.

License. Seems to be used synonymously with 

concession.

Exploration license- Similar to exploration permit, except that the company has an option to 

develop favorable areas. Productive area then becomes a "concession" with accompanying regulations.

Production sharing contract. Under the terms of 

a production sharing contract, a company, or companies) contracts to perform all exploratory and 

development services for the government of the 

foreign country. The company does not own anything, but is only being paid (with production) for 

services performed. A typical example of terms of 

a production sharing contract is that the first 40 

percent of the production goes to the company to 

repay it for its investment. Of the remaining 60 

percent, 40 percent goes to the company and 60 

percent goes to the foreign government.

10.

Joint venture. Two or more entities (companies 

or governments) participate in the implementation 

of a single venture and act as a unit. Joint venture is often used synonymously with consortium.

Investment in oil and gas exploration and exploitation: Only totals are indicated where 

no data were available on investors. Investments are given for a particular year, a 

specified period, or for the total cumulative 

period through 1971.

Imports and exports of copper, nickel, manganese, and cobalt: Copper, nickel, and cobalt 

figures are given in tons of metal in all 

forms. Metal exports may include reexports 

and scrap. Manganese figures are given in 

tons of gross weight of ore.

Annual production of copper, nickel, manganese, and cobalt: See "Imports and exports 

of copper, nickel, manganese, and cobalt."

Manganese nodule concentration within 50, 200, 

and 400 miles of coastline: Estimates for 

concentrations of manganese nodules were 

made from several sources including McKelvey and Wang (1970), Horn and others 

(1971), and Ewing and others (1971).

Instances of licensing for offshore exploration 

for hard minerals: Only information furnished by the Department of State was used.

Exploration permits were limited within 200-m depth until early 1970. 

Since then, permits have been granted to about 600-m depth. About 11 

permits granted to three companies. It seems that new foreign investment is usually made via a joint venture with the government.

130 SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES

TABLE 4. Oil and natural gas production, 1960 71, onshore, offshore, and total

[Totals for onshore and offshore oil and gas production do not equal the total oil and gas production 

for many countries. This discrepancy results from the lack of data to determine, for certain years 

and countries, what part of total production was onshore and offshore. As a result, the total production figure is accurate whereas the onshore and offshore figures are accurate only to the extent 

that available production data could be divided into onshore and offshore production. .landlocked]

TABLE 6. Oil proved reserves and potential resources, onshore, offshore, and total

[The totals for onshore and offshore oil reserves do not equal the total crude oil proved reserves for 

some countries. This discrepancy results from the lack of data to determine, for certain years 

and countries, what part of total reserves was onshore and offshore As a result, the total reserve 

figure is accurate whereas the onshore and offshore figures are accurate only to the extent that available reserve data could be divided into onshore and offshore reserves. Resources category: 1 = 150,000- 

1,500,000 million metric tons; 2 = 15,000-150,000; 3 = 1,500-15,000; 4 = 150-1,500; 5 = 15-150; 6=1.5-15;

TABLE 7. Natural gas proved reserves and potential resources, onshore, offshore,

and total

[The totals for onshore and offshore gas reserves do not equal the total for gas reserves for some countries. This discrepancy results from the lack of data to determine, for certain years and countries, what 

part of the total reserves was onshore and offshore. As a result, the total reserve figure is accurate 

whereas the onshore and offshore gas figures are accurate only to the extent available reserve data 

could be divided into onshore and offshore reserves. Resources category: 1 = 30,000-300,000' billion cubic 

meters; 2 = 3,000-30,000; 3 = 300-3,000; 4=30-300; 5 = 3-30; 6 = 0.3-3; and 0 = 0. ___, landlocked; NA,

146 SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES

ANALYSIS

This section is directed toward analyzing the 

coastal and shelf characteristics of the individual 

continents, the recent and historical trends in oil 

and gas production, the present status of exploration, 

resources, and reserves of oil and gas, and the distribution of oil, gas, and manganese nodules.

Imports, exports, and production of copper, nickel, 

cobalt (converted to metal content), and manganese 

(in gross weight of ore) are also tabulated to define 

present activity characteristics.

Tables 1-12, presented on a continent basis from 

tabulated data on individual countries, were computer generated utilizing GIPSY (General Information Processing System) (Addison and others, 1969) 

for storage and retrieval and IRS (Inquiry and Reporting System) (Sigma Data Computing Corporation, 1968) for processing.

In studying tables 1-12, it will be noted that within some columns basic data are not available, and as 

a result precise statements of values are not possible. 

For purposes of computerization, all modifiers (<, 

less than; >, greater than; and *, estimated) were 

dropped; negligible amounts and shut in production 

were entered as zero. The omission of such data is 

not considered critical to the basic trends shown by 

the data.

COASTAL AND SHELF CHARACTERISTICS

The coastal and shelf characteristics of each of 

the nations bordering on oceans or inland seas are 

presented in table 1. Such data are extremely useful 

in defining the offshore resource potential of a nation 

or continent, but must be used with caution, as the 

resource potential is a function not only of available area, but also of geology, geography, and 

accessibility.

Because of economic constraints imposed by exploration and production in depths of water greater 

than 200 meters, the figure of greatest importance 

to the resource potential is the shelf area to 200- 

meter depth. Table 1 indicates that the largest 

amount of shelf area covered by water of less than 

200-meter depth surrounds Asia and North America, 

with Europe, Oceania, South America, and Africa 

having decreasing amounts. Therefore, the largest 

resource potential for offshore petroleum probably 

occurs in Asia and North America.

OIL PRODUCTION

Table 2 shows the annual production of oil by 

nation and continent from 1960 to 1971.

The data in table 2 are particularly significant as 

petroleum is the largest single item in world trade,

both in dollar value and quantities traded. As a 

result, any significant change in production trends, 

reserves, or potential resources is of paramount significance to the world community.

Analysis of table 2 shows that approximately 26 

percent of the total production of oil within the 120 

nations is derived from North America, and the 

remainder is derived primarily from Asia. The 

trends displayed, however, must be modified because 

the production of the U.S.S.R. is tabulated within the 

Asian Continent. U.S.S.R. statistics are included 

with Asia because, although the major production 

and known reserves of the U.S.S.R. are in the VolgaUrals district of European Russia, the present major 

role of the Volga-Urals will decline and the center of 

U.S.S.R. production will leave European Russia for 

the first time (American Association of Petroleum 

Geologists, 1972, p. 1711-1722). This shift to the 

Asian Continent necessitates discussion of the 

U.S.S.R. with Asia in order to clearly assess the future impact of the Asian Continent.

Approximately one-half of the total production of 

oil within the 120 nations is derived from North 

America and the European part of the U.S.S.R.

The recent trend of production appears to be 

changing rapidly as evidenced by the "doubling 

time" (time required to double production using 

1960 as the base production period) shown by table 

2. The doubling time is approximately 2 years for 

Africa, 7 years for Asia, indeterminate for Europe,

2 years for Oceania, and an estimated 20 years for 

North and South America. The relatively short 

doubling period and large production for Africa and 

Asia suggest that the producing centers of oil are 

rapidly shifting to Asia and Africa.

Table 2 also shows that within continents the majority of oil production comes from a relatively few 

nations. This concentration of oil production magnifies the effect, on the individual countries, of any 

shifts in world price or consumption.

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION

Table 3 shows the annual production of natural 

gas by nation and continent from 1960 to 1971. An 

analysis of the data in table 3 shows that the trends 

of natural gas are very similar to those for oil. Table

3 shows a rapid growth in the production of natural 

gas, which strongly reflects the increased utilization 

of natural gas that began in 1948 and continues 

through the present.

The natural gas trends must be modified to account for the large production of natural gas in the 

region west of the Ural Mountains in the U.S.S.R.
SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES 147

Approximately 70 percent of the total U.S.S.R. production of natural gas presently comes from this 

region. When the western U.S.S.R. production is 

considered with the European production, approximately 75 percent of all natural gas production within the 120 countries comes from North America and 

the European part of the U.S.S.R. The percentage 

produced, however, does not represent what the distribution would be if Asia and Africa were closer to 

larger industrial areas where their natural gas would 

be more economically competitive.

The enormous increase in natural gas production 

shows a recent trend similar to that shown for 

petroleum, with a doubling time of 2 years for 

Africa (which appears to be increasing to a much 

longer period), 6 years for Asia, 4 years for Europe, 

approximately 2 years for Oceania, an estimated 16 

years for North America, and 14 years for South 

America. The world average for doubling time is 

approximately 9 years. However, there appears to 

be a trend toward a longer doubling time in all 

nations.

The development of economic transport facilities 

resulting from liquefaction of natural gas and the 

development of specially built tankers has provided 

natural gas with new markets. In addition, the rising prices of competitive energy resources oil and 

coal coupled with environmental considerations 

have resulted in the demand for natural gas increasing at a faster rate than for petroleum. As a result, 

much of the natural gas that is presently being reinjected may be sold to meet the increasing demands. 

The economic gain would be felt most in Asia and 

Africa.

ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE OIL AND 

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION

Table 4 shows the onshore and offshore production 

of oil and gas, and total production of oil and gas by 

countries and continents during the period 1960 to 

1971. It should be noted that the totals of onshore 

and offshore oil and gas production do not equal the 

total oil and gas production for many countries. This 

discrepancy results from the lack of data to determine, for certain years and countries, what part of 

total production was onshore and offshore. As a 

result, the total production figure is accurate, whereas the onshore and offshore oil and gas totals are 

accurate only to the extent that available production 

data could be divided into onshore and offshore 

production.

Table 4 shows that the majority of the oil production is derived from onshore sources and that to date

offshore production accounts for 2 percent of the 

total 1960-71 production of Africa, 5 percent for 

Asia, 0.1 percent for Europe, 8 percent for North 

America, 64 percent for Oceania, 1 percent for South 

America, and 5 percent for all the 120 nations.

The majority of the gas production is also derived 

from onshore sources and to date offshore sources 

have accounted for approximately 0 percent of the 

total production for Africa, 2 percent for Asia, 7 

percent for Europe, 8 percent for North America, 39 

percent for Oceania, 2 percent for South America, 

and 6 percent for all the 120 nations.

PRODUCTION AND EXPLORATORY WELLS

Table 5 shows the number of production and exploratory wells drilled onshore and offshore and the 

total number of wells drilled for production and 

exploration.

Of particular interest, in terms of present exploration effort, is that only 10 exploration wells were 

drilled offshore in water depths greater than 200 

meters whereas 678 exploration wells were drilled 

offshore in water depths less than 200 m. The distribution of exploration wells drilled in water depths 

of less than 200 meters shows that approximately 50 

percent (320 wells) of all offshore exploration wells 

completed in 1971 were drilled offshore the United 

States. Only 368 offshore exploration wells were 

drilled in the rest of the world. Although the data 

suggest that only a small amount of drilling is being 

conducted offshore, there have been several large 

discoveries in Indonesia, the Persian Gulf, and the 

North Sea, which indicate such exploration is highly 

profitable. The dearth of exploration effort was 

anticipated by McKelvey and Wang (1970, p. 9) who 

stated: "Because of the higher cost of deep-water 

production and the wide availability of petroleum in 

shallower parts of the shelves, production from areas 

beyond the 200-meter isobath is likely to be largely 

restricted during the next decade to giant fields in 

the most favorable locations. It probably will not 

amount to more than 0.5-1.0 billion barrels a year by 

1980, but might increase a few billion barrels a year 

by the end of the century when deep-water exploitation technology is further advanced."

RESERVES AND RESOURCES OF OIL

Table 6 shows the onshore, offshore, and total reserves of oil and the categories of estimated onshore, 

offshore, and total resources of oil.

Asia and North America are the dominant oil producers of the world today and also have the largest 

oil reserves for the world tomorrow. Asia, however,
148 SUMMARY PETROLEUM AND SELECTED MINERAL STATISTICS FOR 120 COUNTRIES

contains over 70 percent of all the reserves of the 

120 countries.

With the exception of Europe, the distribution of 

oil reserves relative to onshore versus offshore follows the same trend as did onshore versus offshore 

oil production.

In Africa, offshore reserves account for approximately 11 percent of the continent's total, while they 

account for 16 percent in Asia, 54 percent in Europe, 

9 percent in North America, 92 percent in Oceania, 

and 1 percent in South America. Throughout the 

120 nations, offshore oil reserves account for approximately 16 percent of total reserves.

In terms of oil resources, an analysis of table 6 

shows that the major resources are in Asia, North 

America, and South America. The large resource 

potential of South America relative to present production (table 2) indicates a proportionally larger 

amount of undiscovered reserves relative to the other 

five continents.

A somewhat different trend is observed in the 

resource estimates of oil potential where available 

data in table 6 indicate that essentially equal 

amounts of oil resources are anticipated offshore and 

onshore.

The potential importance of offshore reserves and 

resources was indicated by McKelvey and Wang 

(1970, p. 8), who stated that "Offshore sources may 

come to supply 30-35 percent of the world's petroleum production by 1980."

Analysis of tables 2 and 3 shows that the major 

oil and natural gas producing areas are shifting 

from North America to Africa and Asia, as evidenced by the fact that in 1960 the North American 

Continent accounted for approximately 40 percent of 

the total oil production and has since decreased to 26 

percent in 1971. During the same period Africa's 

production increased from 1.3 percent in 1960 to 

approximately 11 percent in 1971. The concentration of oil reserves and resources in Africa and Asia 

substantiates the contention that the shift will continue to be away from North America. The large resource potential of South America may, in time, 

cause a shift from Asia and Africa to the South 

American Continent.

RESERVES AND RESOURCES OF NATURAL GAS

Table 7 shows the onshore and offshore reserves 

of gas and the categories of estimated onshore and 

offshore resources of gas.

There is a close relation between oil and natural 

gas, and table 7 shows that the major reserves of 

natural gas occur in Asia (54 percent) and North

America (19 percent) as did the major reserves of 

oil.

Offshore natural gas reserves represent approximately 5 percent of total gas reserves in Africa, 1 

percent in Asia, 24 percent in Europe, 11 percent in 

North America, 49 percent in Oceania, and 9 percent in South America. Offshore natural gas reserves 

represent approximately 7 percent of the total reserves of the 120 nations. As these figures are quite 

similar to those for oil reserves, it is anticipated that 

offshore natural gas production will follow the same 

trend as that described for offshore oil with a corresponding impact on natural gas production.

Table 7 shows that the major resources of natural 

gas within the 120 countries are in Asia, with lesser 

resources in decreasing order in Africa, Europe, 

South America, North America, and Oceania. Table 

7 further shows that the major resources within 

Asia are in the U.S.S.R. Because of the increasing 

demand and use for natural gas, it is to be expected 

that the world supply and production of natural gas 

will shift from North America to the area of the 

U.S.S.R. east of the Ural Mountains.

MANGANESE NODULES

Table 8 shows the extant knowledge of manganese 

nodule concentration by country and continent with 

the distance increments of 0-50 miles, 50-200 miles, 

and 200-400 miles from the coastline.

The tabulation of data regarding manganese 

nodules, presented in table 8, shows that there is 

very little information concerning the distribution 

and concentration of manganese nodules within 400 

nautical miles of the coastline.

Where information is available, it shows that with 

few exceptions manganese nodules do not occur within the area of 0 to 400 miles from the coastline, and 

where they do occur within this area they are not 

sufficiently abundant to be of economic significance. 

Therefore, although substantial quantities of manganese nodules are known to exist in the deeper 

ocean basins (McKelvey and Wang, 1970) and locally contain sufficient copper, nickel, cobalt, and manganese to be economically exploited (Mero, 1965, p. 

191-192, 198-200), they do not represent a viable 

economic phenomenon within the coastal limits of 

the 120 countries.

Tables 9,10,11, and 12 show the imports, exports, 

and production of copper, nickel, manganese, and 

cobalt,respectively, in the 120 countries.
