According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the countries of the Middle East have the largest oil reserves, totaling over 739,000,000,000 barrels. This is more than half of the known reserves in the world of 1,317,447,000,000 barrels. The United States has roughly seven times the known reserves of oil then all of the Middle East. The Green Valley reserve has 4 trillion to 7 trillion barrels in it. The Baikan Reserve also has about 2 trillion barrels located inside of it. Neither of these reserves are currently used. The Middle East has the largest portion of tapped and pumping reserves in the world.
Hot Spot
It is geographic isolation.
Generally, the area of the world that has the most reserves is the Middle East, which includes Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. This is in the Eurasia continent. You may be surprised because in many schools, you are taught that there are 7 continents, with Europe one continent and Asia as another continent. In this case, the most oil reserves are in Asia. See the Wikipedia link which shows that the not everyone agrees on how many continents exist. If fact, I like the 4 continent map as there are fewer continents to remember and all of Africa, Europe and Asia are one continent. There may be some disagreements on the oil reserves of Canada, as this includes large tar sands, where oil recovery is difficult to determine. See links.
A geographic information system is also known as a GIS. These systems are designed to capture, analyse, store, manipulate and present a variety of geographical data. These systems can be used with engineering, management, logistics and telecommunications.
