False. Western Europe and Japan do not have an abundance of crude oil; they actually rely on importing oil and gas due to limited domestic reserves. In contrast, countries like Russia, China, and the Middle East have significant oil reserves.
Europe, Japan, and China import oil and gas, with Europe depending on Russian pipelines for a significant portion of its gas. The U.S. has increased oil production through new drilling methods but still imports oil. Oil availability has been a major global security concern.
