This is just shown in an analysis by Statista, an online portal that provides data on economies, industrial sectors and markets in more than 50 countries.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nAs a result, reserves have fallen from 125.8 billion barrels last year to 125.3 billion barrels this year. This analysis ties in with statistics released last month by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which generally noted the decline in proven crude reserves in many countries on the continent.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nAccording to the OPEC document, Nigeria’s crude oil reserves fell to 36.91 billion barrels in 2020, from 37.4 billion barrels in 2016. Libya, which holds the continent’s largest reserves, Algeria, Sudan, Egypt, Gabon, Congo among others have all been affected by low investment in the sector.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nLast year, the Norwegian industry data analysis firm, Rystad Energy, reported that investment is expected to decline 30% due to Covid-19 and in the medium term, fall further with increasing use. more pronounced to clean energies.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nThese countries are also facing the phenomenon of \u201cstranded assets\u201d or \u201cdepreciated assets\u201d, which implies that reserves lose their value and importance more as the march towards the energy transition continues.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nAccording to Dr Oluwaseun Oguntuase, from the Center for Environmental Studies at the University of Lagos, \u201cthe vast majority of the world’s fossil fuel reserves (between 60 and 80%) may not be transformed if the momentum is set for the transition. energy continues, and if humanity wants to avoid catastrophic climate change \u201d.\n\n \n \n\n","author":15,"featured_media":23857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[6042,5766,5807,5815,5818,5827,6165],"location":[6134,5547,5600,5723,5740],"class_list":["post-34579","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-covid19-en","tag-economic-analysis","tag-gas","tag-industry","tag-investment","tag-oil","tag-opec","location-africa","location-algeria","location-egypt","location-libya","location-med-2"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2YA2qhh","have_related_news":"","chapo":"
