The magic number is 112 billion. That’s how many barrels of oil experts say is oozing through Iraq’s geology — the second largest proven reserves of oil on the planet, just behind Saudi Arabia’s.

But that’s just what is known. Ever since the discovery of oil near Kirkuk in 1927, Iraq has struggled to maximize the commodity’s potential for wealth. There are 73 known oil fields in Iraq, but only a third of those are currently producing. Decades of war, sanctions, political instability and lack of resources have left Iraq’s oil reserves largely untapped or wholly unexplored. Some analysts speculate that Iraq’s reserves may be closer to 200 billion barrels. Others put the number closer to 300 billion.

The wild speculation is at least partly because Iraq’s oil exploration thus far has been both shallow (generally no deeper than what geologists call Tertiary or Cretaceous levels), and clustered in the eastern half of the country. Deeper and more western prospecting has yet to be done.

Even the known reserves, however, have yet to be fully developed. There are as many 17 “giant” fields in Iraq — an oil-industry designation indicating reserves in excess of one billion barrels. Throw in a few “super-giants” and a couple dozen “large” fields and the potential is clear, regardless of who controls the country.
