Main Takeaways

  • September 23, is Saudi Arabia’s National Day

  • Crude exports are declining, petroleum products exports are flat (see Figures 7 & 8)

  • BP, ENI, IEA, EIA, and OTHERS exaggerate the oil consumption of Saudi Arabia.  As a result, Saudi CO2 emissions are also exaggerated.

  • Saudi Arabia is a major natural gas producer but all production is used domestically

  • When looking at the ranking of various countries in oil reserves that can be extracted technically and economically, Saudi Arabia is the largest holder of such reserves in the world, not Venezuela.
