US Geological Survey is one of the most important sources for world petroleum endowment. They have an
interactive map, which eases to plot the results of survey. The results of their studies are used as inputs to other very important studies carried by international organizations such as IEA. Some criticize USGS for being bountiful in their expectations. Especially after last year's oil price hike, experts talked about re-examining USGS data.
Neverthless, map is quite nice and user friendly. Also check the other web pages as well. Beware that the results may be old (from 2000).
