This list of oil fields includes some major oil fields of the past and present. The list is incomplete; there are more than 40,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world[1].

USGS map of countries where oil is located.

However, 94% of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1500 giant and major fields [2]

Amounts given are estimated ultimate recoverable resources (proved reserves plus cumulative production), given current technology, in barrels.

Oil shale reserves (perhaps 3000 billion barrels) and non-conventional sources are not included in this chart. Coal (which can be converted to liquid petroleum) is also not included in this chart.
