The data series for proved oil and gas reserves in BP Statistical Review of World
Energy June 2010 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 2009
from recession
to recovery
Tony Hayward Group Chief Executive
June 2010

Let me highlight a few insights from the data assembled in this Review.
First, global primary energy consumption fell in 2009, but like the
broader economic downturn, changes varied greatly across regions.
In the OECD, energy consumption fell faster than GDP the sharpest
decline in energy consumption on record. The OECD consumed less
primary energy last year than 10 years ago, although GDP since then
has risen by 18%. The developing world outside the Former Soviet
Union, in contrast, saw energy consumption growing faster than
GDP. Globally, the energy intensity of economic activity rose last
year, fostered by slower growth and by many energy-intensive fiscal
stimulus programmes but against the longer-term trend.
With consumption falling, energy prices declined in 2009,
though again the pattern varied by fuel. Oil prices began the year
below $40 per barrel, and increased steadily during the year as OPEC
production cuts were greater than the decline in consumption. Natural
gas in competitive markets fell sharply and remained weak through
most of the year due to falling consumption, continued development
of unconventional resources in the US and rising LNG supply. And coal
prices fell and then started to recover, while displaying regional variety.
The recession and now, hopefully, the recovery, has taught us
how interlinked the world really is. Let me name just two of the data
highlights of this years Review that symbolize the challenges ahead for
all of us. China became a large-scale coal importer, which prevented
global coal consumption from falling; and, given the OPEC cuts, the
worlds largest increase in oil production by far came from the US,
mainly from the Gulf of Mexico. This is not an excuse for anything,
but a piece of the reality in which we all live.
Clarity of focus on objective data has been a hallmark of BPs
Statistical Review in good times and bad for 59 years. As the
world recovers from recession and turns its attention toward enduring
matters of economic development, energy security and climate
change, I hope you will find this Review to be a useful source of
objective information and perspective.
I would like to thank BPs economics team and all those
around the world who have been involved in preparing this Review
in particular our government contacts in many countries who report
the official data.

Welcome to the 2010 edition of the BP Statistical Review of


World Energy.
Before addressing some of the themes that emerge from this
Review, I would like to devote a few words to the tragic accident in
April involving the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and the subsequent
release of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. As of this writing, BP is working
closely with governments and private sector experts to stop the flow
of oil and to minimize the damage to the environment. We are throwing
everything we have at mitigating this disaster. Our thoughts are with
those who have lost loved ones, and those whose livelihoods have
been disrupted. We are determined to set right what has gone wrong
and to learn from the tragedy. Eventually, we will succeed, and
eventually, this disaster will lead to a safer and better energy world.
It is the world of energy that is described by the Statistical
Review of World Energy. Energy developments in 2009 were
dominated by a global recession and, later in the year, a tentative
recovery. For the year as a whole, the global economy contracted
for the first time since the Second World War, and global energy
consumption fell as well. We cant know how durable this recovery
will be. But the data shows changes in the pattern of global energy
consumption that are likely to indicate long-term change.

BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2010

2009 in review
Global economic recession drove energy
consumption lower in 2009 the first decline since
1982. As with the economic contraction, the decline
in energy consumption was concentrated in OECD
countries and the territory of the Former Soviet
Union (FSU). Consumption of oil, natural gas and
nuclear power declined, while coal consumption
was essentially flat; only hydroelectric output and
other renewable forms of energy increased in 2009.
This data suggests global CO2 emissions from
energy use fell for the first time since 1998.
For the year as a whole, prices for all forms of
traded energy fell, with the sharpest declines seen
for traded natural gas and coal in North America
and western Europe although Asian coal prices
fell less sharply in face of strong Chinese import
growth. Oil prices declined for the first time since
2001. During 2009 prices for oil and coal in
competitive markets hit their low points early in
the year, with oil prices recovering first, while spot
natural gas prices in North America and western
Europe continued to decline well into 2009.

Energy developments
World primary energy consumption including oil, natural gas,
coal, nuclear and hydro power fell by 1.1% in 2009, the first decline
since 1982 and the largest decline (in percentage terms) since 1980.
Consumption in OECD countries fell by 5%, the largest decline
on record; OECD consumption reached the lowest level since 1998.
Energy consumption declined in all regions except Asia Pacific and
the Middle East; Chinese energy consumption growth accelerated
to 8.7%. Hydroelectric power generation increased by 1.5%, and was
the worlds fastest-growing major fuel for a second consecutive year.

Oil
Dated Brent averaged $61.67 per barrel in 2009, a decline of 37%
the largest decline (in percentage terms) since 1986. Other benchmark
crudes registered similar declines. Prices began the year below $40
and rose steadily throughout the year, reaching a peak of more than
$78 in mid-November. Sustained OPEC production cuts and improving
economic prospects as the year progressed supported prices.
Global oil consumption declined by 1.2 million barrels per day
(b/d), or 1.7%, the largest decline since 1982. OECD consumption fell
by 4.8% (2 million b/d), a fourth consecutive decline. Outside the
OECD, consumption growth slowed to 860,000b/d, or 2.1%, the
weakest percentage growth since 2001. China, India and Middle
Eastern countries accounted for all of the non-OECD growth.
Global oil production dropped even more rapidly than
consumption, falling by 2 million b/d, or 2.6%, the largest drop, again,
since 1982. OPEC production cuts implemented late in 2008 were
maintained throughout 2009, resulting in a decline of 2.5 million b/d,
or 7.3%. Every OPEC member participating in the production-cutting
agreement reduced output in 2009. OPECs Middle Eastern members
accounted for nearly 75% of the overall reductions.
Oil production outside OPEC grew by 0.9% or 450,000b/d.
US production increased by 460,000b/d, or 7%, the largest increase
in the world last year and largest US percentage increase in our data
set. Elsewhere, production growth in Russia, Brazil, Kazakhstan and
Azerbaijan was offset by declines in China and mature OECD provinces
of Mexico, Norway and the UK. Overall OECD production declined for
a seventh consecutive year.
Global refining capacity in 2009 grew by 2.2%, or 2 million b/d,
the largest increase since 1999. Non-OECD capacity surpassed OECD
capacity for the first time. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for more
than 80% of the global growth, largely due to increases in India

(+19.5%, or 580,000b/d) and China (+10.5%, or 820,000b/d). Global


crude runs fell along with oil consumption, declining by 1.5 million b/d,
or 2%. Throughput declines were concentrated in the EU (-6.4%, or
870,000b/d) and other OECD countries; throughput outside the OECD
increased by 0.9% or 310,000b/d, as strong growth in China and other
Asia-Pacific countries more than offset declining throughput in South
and Central America (-11.4%, or 610,000b/d). Higher refining capacity
and declining consumption pushed global refinery utilization to 81.1%,
the lowest rate since 1994.
Global oil trade fell by 3.1% or 1.7 million b/d, a second
consecutive decline and the largest decline since 1987. The US
accounted for 84% of the net decline in imports, driven by declining
consumption and rising domestic production. Among exporters, the
Middle East with falling production and rising domestic consumption
accounted for virtually the entire decline.

2009 in review

Natural gas
Globally, natural gas was the fuel that experienced the most rapid
decline in consumption, falling by 2.1%, the largest decline on record.
Consumption declined in all regions except the Middle East and Asia
Pacific. Russia had the worlds largest decline (in volumetric terms),
with consumption falling by 6.1%. OECD consumption fell by 3.1%,
the largest decline since 1982; the decline in the US was a relatively
modest 1.5%, as weak prices improved gass competitive standing
against other fuels. Iran saw the worlds largest volumetric
consumption growth, while Indian consumption growth of 25.9%
was the highest among major countries in percentage terms.
Global gas production declined for the first time on record.
Production fell sharply in Russia (-12.1%) and Turkmenistan (-44.8%),
driven by declining consumption in Russia and much of the rest of
Europe and the availability in Europe of competitively priced liquefied
natural gas (LNG). Continued expansion of unconventional supplies
allowed the US to record the worlds largest increase in production for
the third consecutive year, surpassing Russia as the worlds largest
producer. Production in the Middle East and Asia Pacific also increased,
driven by growth in Iran, Qatar, India and China.
Global natural gas trade (excluding intra-FSU trade) contracted
by 2.1% in 2009; pipeline shipments contracted by 5.8%, more than
offsetting a 7.6% increase in LNG trade. The continued ramp-up of
Qatari exports and the emergence of Russia as an exporter drove LNG
growth, which accounted for 30.5% of gas trade (excluding intra-FSU).
The decline in pipeline shipments was driven by lower shipments from
Russia to Europe and from Canada to the US. This years data for the
first time includes intra-FSU trade, which stood at 80.4 billion cubic
metres in 2009 9.2% of global gas trade.

Other fuels
Global coal consumption was flat in 2009, the weakest annual change
since 1999. The OECD (-10.4%) and the FSU (-13.3%) experienced
the steepest consumption declines on record, due to the combination
of recession and competitively priced natural gas. Elsewhere,
consumption grew by 7.4%, near the historical average, with China
accounting for 95% of the increase. Consumption fell in all regions
except Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Global nuclear output dropped by 1.3%, a third consecutive
global decline. Asia-Pacific growth, led by a recovery of Japanese
output from earlier earthquake-related outages, did not offset declines
elsewhere. Hydroelectric generation grew by a below-average 1.5%,
which was nonetheless sufficient to make hydro the worlds fastestgrowing major fuel in 2009. Growth was led by China, Brazil and
the US.
While other forms of renewable energy remain a small
share of the global energy mix, they have continued to grow rapidly.
Continued government support, including targeted fiscal stimulus
in many countries, helped to boost global wind and solar generation
capacity by 31% and 47% respectively. Wind growth was led by
China and the US, which accounted for a combined 62.4% of total
growth. Ethanol production rose by 8.1% just over half the historical
average; continued robust growth in the US (which accounts for
52.9% of global ethanol supply) was partly offset by a decline in
Brazil (33.9% of global output). Additional detail on renewable
forms of energy, as well as electricity generation, is available at
www.bp.com/statisticalreview.

Remaining established reserves, less reserves under active development.
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 reserves based on information
in the public domain. Canadian proved reserves include an official estimate of 27.1 billion barrels for oil sands under active development. Venezuelan reserves are taken from the OPEC Annual
Statistical Bulletin, which notes that the figure includes proven reserves of the Magna Reserve Project in the Orinoco Belt, which amounted to 94,168mb in 2008. Reserves include gas
condensate and natural gas liquids (NGLs) as well as crude oil.
Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using thousand million barrels figures.

Global proved oil reserves rose by 0.7 billion barrels to 1,333.1 billion barrels, with an R/P ratio of 45.7 years. Increases in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia more than offset
declines in Norway, Mexico and Vietnam. The 2008 figure has been revised higher by 74.4 billion barrels, largely due to an increase in Venezuelan official reserves.

*Inland demand plus international aviation and marine bunkers and refinery fuel and loss. Consumption of fuel ethanol and biodiesel is also included.
Less

than 0.05%.
Notes: Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using million tonnes per annum figures.
Growth rates are adjusted for leap years.
Differences between these world consumption figures and world production statistics on page 8 are accounted for by stock changes, consumption of non-petroleum additives
and substitute fuels, and unavoidable disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of oil supply and demand data.

Differences between these world consumption figures and world production statistics on page 9 are accounted for by stock changes, consumption of non-petroleum additives
and substitute fuels, and unavoidable disparities in the definition, measurement or conversion of oil supply and demand data.

World oil consumption fell by 1.2 million b/d, a second consecutive decline and, like oil production, the largest decline since 1982. OECD consumption fell by
2 million b/d, a fourth consecutive annual decline. Consumption outside the OECD increased by 860,000b/d. Consumption declined in North America, South and
Central America and Europe and Eurasia, outweighing modest increases in the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific regions.

Global crude runs fell by 1.5 million b/d in 2009 but continued to grow in China and India, where several new refining facilities commissioned. Most of the 2 million b/d increase
in global refining capacity last year was also in China and India, allowing installed capacity in the non-OECD to overtake that of the OECD for the first time. Global average
refinery utilization fell to 81.1%, the lowest level since 1994.

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.

Notes: As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres, measured at 15C and 1013 millibar (mbar); because it is derived directly from tonnes
of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor, it does 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.
Growth rates are adjusted for leap years.
Natural gas production data expressed in billion cubic feet per day is available at www.bp.com/statisticalreview.

Source: Includes data from Cedigaz.
Less than 0.05%.
Notes: Annual changes and shares of total are calculated using million tonnes of oil equivalent figures.
Growth rates are adjusted for leap years.
The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics on page 24 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.
As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres, measured at 15C and 1013mbar; because it is derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average conversion
factor, it does not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
Natural gas consumption data expressed in billion cubic feet per day is available at www.bp.com/statisticalreview.

Source: Includes data from Cedigaz.
Less than 0.05%.
Notes: Growth rates are adjusted for leap years.
The difference between these world consumption figures and the world production statistics on page 25 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.

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 coal consumption was essentially flat in 2009, the weakest year since 1999. For the first time since 2002 coal was not the fastest-growing fuel in the world.
The OECD and Former Soviet Union experienced the steepest declines on record, while growth elsewhere was near average, largely due to above-average growth
in China, which accounted for 46.9% of global coal consumption.

World primary energy consumption fell by 1.1% in 2009, the first decline since 1982. Consumption was weaker than average in all regions. While oil remains
the leading fuel (accounting for 34.8% of global primary energy consumption), it continues to lose market share. Coals share of global energy consumption
was the highest since 1970.

Oil remains the worlds dominant fuel, although it has lost market share over the past decade globally and in every region. Natural gas has the leading market share
in Europe and Eurasia, while coal is the dominant fuel in Asia Pacific. Regionally, oil and natural gas have the highest market shares in the Middle East; coal in
Asia Pacific; and nuclear and hydro in Europe and Eurasia.

While coal remains the worlds most abundant fossil fuel, with an R/P ratio of 119 years, proved reserves of oil and natural gas increased in 2009 and have tended
to rise over time. OECD countries account for less than 10% of global proved reserves for oil and natural gas, but 42.6% of proved coal reserves.

Methodology
The primary energy values of both nuclear and
hydroelectric power generation 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).
Percentages
Calculated before rounding of actuals. All annual
changes and shares of totals are on a weight basis
except on pages 6, 14, 18, 20 and 22.
Rounding differences
Because of rounding, some totals may not agree
exactly with the sum of their component parts.
Tonnes
Metric equivalent of tons.
