Oil-rich countries in the middle east cover about 4% of earth’s total land area but possess about 48% of the world’s known oil reserves. what is the main reason for the high concentration of reserves in this part of the world?

I'd say this high concentration is due to geological processes
Geological processes are things such as erosion, tectonic plate shifts, e.t.c.
