Best Answer

Thar coal reserves have 175 billion tonnes of coal, which is equivalent to 618 billion barrels of crude oil recently informed by VC of The university of the Punjab. Following is the list of top 5 oil reserve countries of the world: Country Reserves (bbl) Production/day (mbl) Reserve life (yr) Saudi Arabia 260 8.8 81

Canada 179 2.7 182

Iran 136 3.9 96

Iraq 115 3.7 85

Kuwait 99 2.5 108 175 billion tons of Thar according to Professor Dr Mujahid Kamran equal 618 billion barrels of crude oil. This is more than twice if we compare it with oil reserves of KSA and equal to total oil reseves of top 4 countries. If like KSA, we utilize about 10 million of it per day, it would suffice for more than 200 years. Not to forget other resources that Pakistan have when compared with KSA. For example, we have largest gold/copper ore deposits at Saindak (Baluchistan) dying to be expoited.
