Oil reserves: 142.5 billion barrels
Iraq is a source of mystery with regards to its oil reserves. This hasn’t been done on purpose, but due to decades of war and unrest, which has led to its oil wells being in poor condition, a very accurate estimation can’t be made. In fact, it is thought that the oil reserves in the country may be vastly greater than what has been already reported.
