Disclaimer
The data series for proved oil and gas reserves in BP Statistical Review of World
Energy June 2012 does not necessarily meet the definitions, guidelines and
practices used for determining proved reserves at company level, for instance,
under UK accounting rules contained in the Statement of Recommended Practice,
Accounting for Oil and Gas Exploration, Development, Production and
Decommissioning Activities (UK SORP) or as published by the US Securities and
Exchange Commission, nor does it necessarily represent BPs view of proved
reserves by country. Rather, the data series has been compiled using a combination
of primary official sources and third-party data.

Energy in 2011
disruptions and
continuity

Welcome to the 61st annual edition of the BP Statistical Review of World Energy.
As is our longstanding custom, each June we take stock, and a step back from
day-to-day activities to publish the annual data we have collected on the worlds
energy markets, to assess what has happened this last year and how last years
experience relates to longer-term trends. In a fast-changing world, I believe it is
important to understand both the forces behind todays headlines as well as the
underlying trends that are shaping the new energy landscape that our children
and grandchildren will inherit. I find it essential and insightful to focus on the
objective, rigorous data contained in this review.
2011 was an unusually eventful year in global energy. The tumultuous
events of the Arab Spring shook energy markets and underscored the
importance of maintaining spare capacity and strategic stockpiles for dealing
with supply disruptions. The earthquake and tsunami in Japan was a humanitarian
disaster; and one with immediate implications in Japan and around the world
for nuclear power and other fuels. Oil prices hit an all-time record high. Yet the
revolution in shale gas production drove US natural gas prices lower, reaching
record discounts to oil.
With all of these issues in play, global energy consumption grew by 2.5%
in 2011, broadly in line with the historical average but well below the 5.1% seen
in 2010. Once again emerging economies accounted for all of the net growth in
energy consumption, with demand in the OECD falling for a third time in the last
four years.
On the production side, the loss of oil supplies in Libya and elsewhere
was eventually more than offset by large increases among Middle Eastern
OPEC members, leading to record oil production in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and
Qatar. Meanwhile, the US recorded the largest non-OPEC production increase
for a third consecutive year. In my mind, it is no coincidence that the innovations
driving the renaissance in US oil and gas production are taking place in one of
the most open and competitive upstream segments in the world. The example
of North America highlights how competition and a level playing field foster
innovation, ultimately leading to the production of previously inaccessible, new,
unconventional resources.
Crises and disruptions to one side, this years data also confirm how a
number of longer-term trends remained in place. The center of gravity for world
energy consumption continues to shift from the OECD to emerging economies,
especially in Asia. The world is not structurally short of hydrocarbon resources
as our data on proved reserves confirms year after year but long lead times and
various forms of access constraints in some regions continue to create challenges
for the ability of supply to meet demand growth at reasonable prices.
Fossil fuels still dominate energy consumption, with a market share of 87%.
Renewable energy continues to gain but today accounts for only 2% of energy
consumption globally. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel mix is changing as well. Oil,
still the leading fuel, has lost market share for 12 consecutive years. Coal was
once again the fastest growing fossil fuel, with predictable consequences for
carbon emissions.
At this level, change comes only slowly to the global energy system. It is
important for all of us producers and consumers, along with our governments
and everyone interested in energy to address todays challenges without losing
sight of slower-moving structural changes, including those we are seeking to
bring about. It is a singular contribution of this review to keep us firmly rooted in
objective data: a rigorous understanding of where we are and where we have
been is necessary for us to build a safe and sustainable energy future together.
I would like to thank BPs economics team and all those around the world
who have helped prepare this review in particular those in governments in many
countries who contribute their official data.

+2.5%

Growth in global primary


energy consumption.

All of the net growth took place in emerging economies, with China alone
accounting for 71% of global energy consumption growth. OECD consumption
declined, led by a sharp decline in Japan in volumetric terms, the worlds largest
decline. The data suggests that growth in global CO2 emissions from energy use
continued in 2011, but at a slower rate than in 2010.
Energy price developments were mixed. Oil prices for the year exceeded
$100 for the first time ever (in money-of-the-day terms) and inflation-adjusted
prices were the second-highest on record, behind only 1864. Crude oil prices
peaked in April following the loss of Libyan supplies. The differential between
Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) reached a record premium (in $/bbl)
due to infrastructure bottlenecks driven by rapidly-rising US and Canadian
production. Natural gas prices in Europe and Asia including spot markets
and those indexed to oil increased broadly in line with oil prices, although
movements within the year varied widely. North American prices reached record
discounts to both crude oil and to international gas markets due to continued
robust regional production growth. Coal prices increased in all regions.
Energy developments
World primary energy consumption grew by 2.5% in 2011, roughly in line with the
10-year average. Consumption in OECD countries fell by 0.8%, the third decline in
the past four years. Non-OECD consumption grew by 5.3%, in line with the 10-year
average. Global consumption growth decelerated in 2011 for all fuels, as did total
energy consumption for all regions. Oil remains the worlds leading fuel, at 33.1%
of global energy consumption, but oil continued to lose market share for the twelfth
consecutive year and its current market share is the lowest in our data set, which
begins in 1965.

2011 in review

Dated Brent averaged $111.26 per barrel in 2011, an increase of 40% from the
2010 level. The loss of Libyan supplies early in the year, combined with smaller
disruptions in a number of other countries, pushed prices sharply higher despite
a large increase in production among other OPEC members following the Libyan
outages and a release of strategic stocks from International Energy Agency
member countries.
Global oil consumption grew by a below-average 0.6 million barrels per day
(b/d), or 0.7%, to reach 88 million b/d. This was once again the weakest global
growth rate among fossil fuels. OECD consumption declined by 1.2% (600,000
b/d), the fifth decrease in the past six years, reaching the lowest level since 1995.
Outside the OECD, consumption grew by 1.2 million b/d, or 2.8%. Despite strong
oil prices, oil consumption growth was below average in producing regions of the
Middle East and Africa due to regional unrest. China again recorded the largest
increment to global consumption growth (+505,000 b/d, +5.5%) although the
growth rate was below the 10-year average. Middle distillates were again the
fastest-growing refined product category by volume, for the seventh time in the
past 10 years.
Annual global oil production increased by 1.1 million b/d, or 1.3%. Virtually
all of the net growth was in OPEC, with large increases in Saudi Arabia (+1.2 million
b/d), the UAE, Kuwait and Iraq more than offsetting a loss of Libyan supply (-1.2
million b/d). Output reached record levels in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar.
Non-OPEC output was broadly flat, with increases in the US, Canada, Russia and
Colombia offsetting continued declines in mature provinces such as the UK and
Norway, as well as unexpected outages in a number of other countries. The US
(+285,000 b/d) had the largest increase among non-OPEC producers for the third
consecutive year. Driven by continued strong growth in onshore production of
shale liquids, US output reached the highest level since 1998.
Global refinery crude runs increased by a below-average 375,000 b/d, or
0.5%. Non-OECD countries accounted for all the net increase, rising by 685,000
b/d. While OECD throughput declined by 310,000 b/d, US throughput increased
(+110,000 b/d) and the US became a net exporter of refined products for the first
time on record. Global refinery capacity utilization fell to 81.2% as global refining
capacity increased by 1.4 million b/d (+1.5%), outpacing growth in throughputs for
the fifth time in six years.
Global oil trade in 2011 grew by 2%, or 1.1 million b/d. At 54.6 million b/d,
trade accounted for 62% of global consumption, up from 58% a decade ago.
China accounted for roughly two-thirds of the growth in trade last year, with net
imports (6 million b/d) rising by 13%. US net imports were 29% below their 2005
peak. Middle East countries accounted for 81% of the growth in exports last year.
While crude oil accounted for 70% of global trade in 2011, refined products
accounted for two-thirds of the growth in global trade last year.

9.9

Decline in EU gas consumption,


the largest on record.

World natural gas consumption grew by 2.2%. Consumption growth was below
average in all regions except North America, where low prices drove robust
growth. Outside North America, the largest volumetric gains in consumption were
in China (+21.5%), Saudi Arabia (+13.2%) and Japan (+11.6%). These increases
were partly offset by the largest decline on record in EU gas consumption (-9.9%),
driven by a weak economy, high gas prices, warm weather and continued growth
in renewable power generation.
Global natural gas production grew by 3.1%. The US (+7.7%) recorded the
largest volumetric increase despite lower gas prices, and remained the worlds
largest producer. Output also grew rapidly in Qatar (+25.8%), Russia (+3.1%) and
Turkmenistan (+40.6%), more than offsetting declines in Libya (-75.6%) and the
UK (-20.8%). As was the case for consumption, the EU recorded the largest
decline in gas production on record (-11.4%), due to a combination of mature
fields, maintenance, and weak regional consumption.
Following the general weakness of gas consumption growth, global natural
gas trade increased by a relatively modest 4% in 2011. LNG shipments grew by
10.1%, with Qatar (+34.8%) accounting for virtually all (87.7%) of the increase.
Among LNG importers, the largest volumetric growth was in Japan and the UK.
LNG now accounts for 32.3% of global gas trade. Pipeline shipments grew by just
1.3%, with declines in imports by Germany, the UK, the US and Italy offsetting
increases in China (from Turkmenistan), Ukraine (from Russia), and Turkey (from
Russia and Iran).

Coal consumption grew by 5.4% in 2011, the only fossil fuel to record aboveaverage growth and the fastest-growing form of energy outside renewables. Coal
now accounts for 30.3% of global energy consumption, the highest share since
1969. Consumption outside the OECD rose by an above-average 8.4%, led by
Chinese consumption growth of 9.7%. OECD consumption declined by 1.1% with
losses in the US and Japan offsetting growth in Europe. Global coal production
grew by 6.1%, with non-OECD countries accounting for virtually all of the growth
and China (+8.8%) accounting for 69% of global growth.
Global hydroelectric output grew by 1.6%, the weakest growth since 2003.
Heavy rainfall drove strong growth in North America (+13.9%) with the US
recording the strongest increment on record offsetting drought-related declines
in Europe and China. Worldwide nuclear output fell by 4.3%, the largest decline
on record, on the back of sharp declines in Japan (-44.3%) and Germany (-23.2%).
Renewable energy sources saw mixed results in 2011. Global biofuels
production stagnated, rising by just 0.7% or 10,000 barrels per day oil equivalent
(b/doe), the weakest annual growth since 2000. Growth in the US (+55,000 b/doe,
or 10.9%) slowed as the share of ethanol in gasoline approached the blendwall,
and Brazilian output had the largest decline in our data set (-50,000 b/doe, or
-15.3%) due to a poor sugar harvest. In contrast, renewable energy used in power
generation grew by an above-average 17.7%, driven by continued robust growth
in wind energy (+25.8%), which accounted for more than half of renewable power
generation for the first time. The US and China once again accounted for the
largest increments in wind generation. Solar power generation grew even more
rapidly (+86.3%), but from a smaller base. Renewable forms of energy accounted
for 2.1% of global energy consumption, up from 0.7% in 2001.

in this review; further detail on renewable forms of energy; and electricity
generation is available at bp.com/statisticalreview.

Notes: Proved reserves of oil Generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio If the reserves remaining at the end of any year are divided by the production in that year, the result is the length of time that those remaining reserves
would last if production were to continue at that rate.
Source of data The estimates in this table have been compiled using a combination of primary official sources, third-party data from the OPEC Secretariat, World Oil, Oil & Gas Journal and an
independent estimate of Russian and Chinese reserves based on information in the public domain.
Canadian oil sands under active development are an official estimate. Venezuelan Orinoco Belt reserves are based on the OPEC Secretariat and government announcements.
Reserves include gas condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) as well as crude oil.
Shares of total and R/P ratios are calculated using thousand million barrels figures.

World proved oil reserves at the end of 2011 reached 1652.6 billion barrels, sufficient to meet 54.2 years of global production. The continuing increase in official
Venezuelan reserves pushed the South & Central American R/P ratio above 100. The large increase in Middle Eastern production reduced the regions R/P ratio
despite an increase in reserves; the region holds 48.1% of global proved reserves.

World oil production increased by 1.1 million b/d in 2011, with OPEC accounting for nearly all of the increase despite a 1.2 million b/d reduction in Libyan production.
The US had the largest growth in non-OPEC supply for a third consecutive year. World oil consumption increased by roughly 600,000 b/d. All of the net growth came
from emerging economies in Asia, South & Central America, and the Middle East, offsetting declines in Europe and North America.

Global crude runs grew by 0.4 million b/d in 2011, with all of the net increase accounted for by China. Refinery throughputs in the OECD fell by 0.3 million b/d and now lag
those in the non-OECD by 1.7 million b/d. Last years 1.4 million b/d increase in global refining capacity was more evenly spread but Chinas 0.5 million b/d addition was
still the largest by a single country. Installed capacity in the non-OECD is now 2.2 million b/d above that of the OECD. Global average refinery utilization fell to 81.2%, the
lowest since 2009.

Note: The refining margins presented are benchmark margins for three major global refining centres: US Gulf Coast (USGC), North West Europe (NWE Rotterdam)
and Singapore. In each case they are based on a single crude oil appropriate for that region and have optimized product yields based on a generic refinery configuration
(cracking, hydrocracking or coking), again appropriate for that region. The margins are on a semi-variable basis, i.e. the margin after all variable costs and fixed energy costs.

Notes: Proved reserves of natural gas Generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future
from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio If the reserves remaining at the end of any year are divided by the production in that year, the result is the length of time that those remaining reserves
would last if production were to continue at that rate.
Source of data The estimates in this table have been compiled using a combination of primary official sources and third-party data from Cedigaz and the OPEC Secretariat.

World proved natural gas reserves at end-2011 were sufficient to meet 63.6 years of production. A large increase in Turkmen reserves pushed the R/P ratio for Europe &
Eurasia to 75.9 years. The Middle East still holds the largest reserves (38.4% of the world total, compared with 37.8% for Europe & Eurasia) and has an R/P ratio of over
150 years.

Notes: As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15C and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average
conversion factor, they do not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using million tonnes of oil equivalent figures.
Natural gas production data expressed in billion cubic feet per day is available at bp.com/statisticalreview.

Source: Includes data from Cedigaz.
Less than 0.05%.
Notes: As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15C and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average
conversion factor, they do not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics is due to variations in stocks at storage facilities and liquefaction plants, together with unavoidable
disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of gas supply and demand data.
Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using million tonnes of oil equivalent figures.
Natural gas consumption data expressed in billion cubic feet per day is available at bp.com/statisticalreview.

Notes: The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics is due to variations in stocks at storage facilities and liquefaction plants, together with
unavoidable disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of gas supply and demand data.

World natural gas production increased by 3.1% in 2011. While the US saw the largest national increase, the Middle East recorded the largest regional increment to
production. Production growth in Russia and Turkmenistan was partly offset by a large decline in European production. Natural gas consumption increased by 2.2%,
with below-average growth in all regions but North America. The European Union experienced the sharpest decline in natural gas consumption (9.9%) on record.

than 0.05%.
Notes: Proved reserves of coal Generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from
known deposits under existing economic and operating conditions.
Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio If the reserves remaining at the end of the year are divided by the production in that year, the result is the length of time that those remaining reserves
would last if production were to continue at that rate.

World primary energy consumption grew by 2.5% in 2011, less than half the growth rate experienced in 2010 but close to the historical average. Growth decelerated for
all regions and for all fuels. Oil remains the worlds leading fuel, accounting for 33.1% of global energy consumption, but this figure is the lowest share on record. Coals
market share of 30.3% was the highest since 1969.

Methodology
The primary energy values of nuclear and hydroelectric
power generation, as well as electricity from renewable
sources, have been derived by calculating the
equivalent amount of fossil fuel required to generate
the same volume of electricity in a thermal power
station, assuming a conversion efficiency of 38%
(the average for OECD thermal power generation).
Fuels used as inputs for conversion
technologies (gas-to-liquids, coal-to-liquids and
coal-to-gas) are counted as production for the source
fuel and the outputs are counted as consumption for
the converted fuel.
Percentages
Calculated before rounding of actuals. All annual
changes and shares of totals are on a weight basis
except on pages 6, 13, 16, 18 and 20.
Rounding differences
Because of rounding, some totals may not agree
exactly with the sum of their component parts.
Tonnes
Metric equivalent of tons.
