Probable additional reserves are attributed to known accumulations and the probabilistic, cumulative sum of proven and probable reserves (with a probability of P50), also referred to in the industry as "2P" (Proven plus Probable) [13] The P50 designation means that there should be at least a 50% chance that the actual volumes recovered will be ...
Proven reserves (also called measured reserves, 1P, and reserves) is a measure of fossil fuel energy reserves, such as oil and gas reserves and coal reserves. It is defined as the "quantity of energy sources estimated with reasonable certainty, from the analysis of geologic and engineering data, to be recoverable from well established or known ...
2P – proved and probable reserves; 3C – three components seismic acquisition (x, y, and z) 3C – Proved, probable and possible contingent resources; 3D – three-dimensional ; 3P – proved, probable and possible reserves; 4D – multiple 3Ds acquired over time (the 4th D) over the same area with the same parameters
In 1970, local peak production was 10,044 million bbl (1,597 million m 3) per day in November 1970. [8] Total production of crude oil from 1970 through 2006 was 102 billion barrels (16.2 × 10 ^ 9 m 3), or roughly five and a half times the proved reserves over the same timeframe when taking into account the decreasing proved reserves.
The reserve portion of the ratio is the amount of a resource known to exist in an area and to be economically recoverable (proven reserves). The production portion (denominator) of the ratio is the amount of resource produced in one year at the current rate. [1] RPR = (amount of known resource) / (amount used per year)
Nearly 40% of oil, gas and coal from existing and approved sites will need to stay in the ground to avoid dangerous warming, research says.
Because proven reserves include oil recoverable under current economic conditions, nations may see large increases in proven reserves when known, but previously uneconomic deposits become economic to develop. In this way, Canada's proven reserves increased suddenly in 2003 when the oil sands of Alberta were seen to
Renewable resources are available each year, unlike non-renewable resources, which are eventually depleted. A simple comparison is a coal mine and a forest. While the forest could be depleted, if it is managed it represents a continuous supply of energy, vs. the coal mine, which once has been exhausted is gone.
