In 2006, the UK was the world's ninth-largest energy
consumer, and fifteenth by the manufacturer.In 2009 the
UK produced 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, and
consumed 1.7 million barrels. Recently, the oil production
began to decline and since 2005 the UK is a net importer of
oil. In 2010 the UK had around 3.1 billion barrels of proven
crude oil reserves, the largest among EU members.In 2009,
the UK was the 13th producer of natural gas in the world
and the largest in the EU. As with oil, recent production
volumes began to decline and in 2004 the country began to
import gas.
In 2005, the total reserves available for coal production was
171 million tons, but large coastal area can expect potential
reserves of 7 to 16 billion tons thanks to the technology of
underground coal gasification. If to count from the current
coal consumption of the country, these reserves Britain will
last for a period of from 200 to 400 years.
