In the aftermath of World War I, the fear of shortage and the resulting rise of oil prices spurred the use of experimental prospecting techniques.

According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2004, guaranteed fuel reserves totalled 1.146,3 billion barrels, equal to 156,7 billion tons, at the end of 2003.
