Kyrgyzstan’s proved oil reserves stood at 37 million barrels as of December 31, 2025, remaining unchanged from the previous year, according to a report by Italian energy company Eni.

The report shows that the country's proved oil reserves have remained at 37 million barrels throughout the past decade, with the same estimate recorded annually from 2015 to 2025. No changes were registered either in 2025 or over the entire 10-year period, The Caspian Post reports.

Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan's population reached 7.3 million in 2025, compared with 7.2 million in 2024, representing an annual increase of 1.5%, according to the report.

The country's population has grown steadily over the past decade, rising from 6 million in 2015 to 6.6 million in 2019 and 6.7 million in 2020. It subsequently increased to 6.9 million in 2021, 7 million in 2022, 7.1 million in 2023, and 7.2 million in 2024.

Eni estimates the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of Kyrgyzstan's population at 2% for 2015-2025. Over the decade, the population increased by approximately 1.3 million people, or around 22%.

With proved oil reserves remaining unchanged while the population continued to grow, the volume of reserves per capita declined during the period. Calculations based on the report's figures indicate that reserves fell from approximately 6.2 barrels per person in 2015 to 5.1 barrels in 2025, a decrease of around 18%.

For comparison, 37 million barrels are equivalent to approximately 5 million tonnes of crude oil, depending on its density. Kyrgyzstan's oil production remains modest, and the country relies largely on imports to meet domestic demand for petroleum products.
