Les reserves de petrole au Koweit representent 8?% des reserves de petrole dans le monde. Le Koweit est le troisieme producteur de l'OPEP et pretend detenir environ 104 milliards de barils dont 5 milliards de barils dans la zone neutre situee entre le Koweit et l'Arabie, zone partagee entre les deux pays. La plupart des reserves de petrole du Koweit sont situees dans les 70 milliards de barils du champ de Burgan, le second plus grand champ de petrole conventionnel au monde en activite depuis 1938. etant donne que la plupart des champs de petrole principaux du Koweit ont plus de 60 ans, le maintien des taux de production devient un probleme. Deux projets devraient permettre au Koweit de porter sa capacite de raffinage de brut a 1,4 mbj, contre 930.000 bj actuellement. Les reserves sont equivalentes a 20-30 ans de production avant l'epuisement des gisements.

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri headed to Copenhagen on December 15 to attend the Climate Change World Summit as UN chief Ban Ki-moon warned that negotiators face a race against time to prevent the meeting ending in catastrophic failure after developing nations staged a five-hour walkout. Pollution and climate change cost Lebanon, which relies primarily on oil-fired stations for electricity, more than half a million dollars (330 million euros) a year, the environment minister said earlier this month, adding that temperatures in the east Mediterranean country were expected to rise two degrees on average in the next four decades, and five degrees by the turn of the century.
