Business impact
- Reported 2025 reserves above 518 billion barrels of crude oil and 44 trillion cubic metres of natural gas establish the scale of the regional resource base.
- Daily crude production above 16 million barrels and marketed gas output of 461 billion cubic metres point to large operating systems with continuing reliability, transport and services requirements.
- The policy emphasis on diversified export routes and resilient supply chains is commercially relevant, but the aggregate figures do not identify a buyer, project budget or open contract.
