  • How much oil does Afghanistan produce a year?
  • Afghanistan has estimated reserves of 1,908 million barrels of crude oil + 59 trillion cm of natural gas + 667 million barrels of liquid gas. However, the country produces only 8,000 barrels of oil and 59 billion cm of gas per year. To compensate for this lack of domestic production, Afghanistan imported more than 4 million MTs of oil in 2014.
