Energy in Saudi Arabia describes petroleum production, consumption and export, but also natural gas and electricity production. "Saudi Arabia is the world's top oil exporter and producer. Saudi Arabia's economy is petroleum-based; Oil actually accounts for 90% of the country's exports and nearly 75% government revenues".〔 The oil industry produces about 45% of Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product, against 40% from the private sector.〔 Saudi Arabia has per capita GDP of $20,700.〔 The economy is still very dependent on oil in spite of a diversification effort, in particular in the petrochemical sector. For many years the Kingdom has been the world largest petroleum producer and exporter. In 2011 it pumped approximately of petroleum.〔 While most of this is exported, domestic use is rapidly increasing, primarily for electricity production. Saudi Arabia also has the largest, or one of the largest, proven crude oil reserves (i.e. oil that is economically recoverable〔Venezuela has more oil in the form of tar sands, heavy bitumen which is not currently economically competitive.〕) in the world (18% of global reserves, over ). Saudi Arabia, has one of the largest reserves of natural gas in the gulf. Proved natural gas reserves are over . Global production in 2009 reached of oil and of natural gas.〔( 2011 report on oil and gas companies, Promoting revenue Transparency ) Transparency International 2011 page reserves 114–115〕 but due to its sizeable domestic gas markets, is "unlikely to become LNG exporters anytime soon". Saudi Arabia is prioritising upstream gas investment, but for use in the domestic power generation market, not for export. The country has had plans to diversify its energy sources for some time, developing solar and nuclear power. ==Petroleum== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Energy in Saudi Arabia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
