Commercial energy use	427.22		[109th of 119]
DEFINITION: Commercial energy use (kg of oil equivalent per capita). Commercial energy use refers to apparent consumption, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

Electric power consumption > kWh	3,320,000,000 kWh		[114th of 132]
DEFINITION: Electric power consumption measures the production of power plants and combined heat and power plants less transmission, distribution, and transformation losses and own use by heat and power plants.		View time series
Electricity > Production by source > Fossil fuel	2.7%		[199th of 223]

Gasoline prices	0.92		[85th of 141]
DEFINITION: Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data. For more information, see World Development Indicators, Table 3.12.

imports, net > % of energy use	-79.54 %		[102nd of 130]
DEFINITION: Net energy imports are estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.

Oil production in 1992	134 thousand barrels / day		[39th of 47]
SOURCE: CIA World Factbook, 28 July 2005
Oil refining ability	42,000 barrels per day		[45th of 51]
DEFINITION: Crude oil refining capacity
SOURCE: BP
Oil reserves	85,000,000 barrels		[72nd of 97]
DEFINITION: According to Web definitions the term refers to the total amount of petroleum (oil) discovered in any given oil field or nation. Thus it can be said that Kuwait has xxxx millions of barrels (mb) of oil in the ground. However, the exact amount can never be known, simply because of the difficulty in sensing or "seeing" beneath the surface of the Earth. The term Proven Reserve or PR refers to an amount of oil that is generally accepted by geologists to be the actual amount of petroleum in the ground.

DEFINITION: Traditional fuel consumption as a % of total energy use.
SOURCE: CIA World Factbook, 28 July 2005
use > kt of oil equivalent	6,949 kt of oil equivalent		[93rd of 132]
DEFINITION: Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.		View time series
