How many years of oil reserves does Saudi Arabia have left?
See this youtubevideo: "Saudi Arabia Is Probably Lying About Their Oil Reserves" from 17.8.2022.
The video says that Saudi Arabia maybe only had 136 billion barrels of oil reserves in 1988. We have used about 105 billion barrels of these reserves over the past 34 years. This would leave us with only 31 billion barrels in 2022. This would mean that the reserves are used up in ten years from that year on, i.e. in 2032. But the videomaker cannot believe in this. He says it's more than likely not true. He says that while Saudi Arabia may be lying about having 70 to 100 years worth of oil left, it's likely that they at least have a few decades left. And this matches up with the kingdom's actions as well.
My comment: Well, if Saudi Arabia has, say, 20 years of oil reserves left, this places the end of their reserves in 2043, which matches well with the end of overall global conventional oil reserves, see this blogpost by me. But it might be a best-case scenario. This may be because the Saudis have treated their oil fields too aggressively, pumped too aggressively, which shorten the lifetime of the oil fields.
