The recent accessibility of oil resources in Eastern Bloc countries such as Qatar, Vietnam, and Yemen reveals an estimated 1.6 trillion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) that were previously untapped. With 54% of these resources still inaccessible, opportunities for Western oil companies abound as they eye regions like China and Venezuela, where 16% remains out of reach. For the C.I.S. (former USSR), only 46% is currently accessible. This unprecedented opening for exploration is a unique moment in history, offering unparalleled potential for energy investments.
