Proven oil reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated, with a high degree of confidence, to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions.
It is estimated that there may be 57 zettajoule (ZJ) of oil reserves on Earth (although estimates vary from a low of 8 ZJ, [8] consisting of currently proven and recoverable reserves, to a maximum of 110 ZJ [9]) consisting of available, but not necessarily recoverable reserves, and including optimistic estimates for unconventional sources such ...
The table below reports reserves by estimated amount of shale oil. Shale oil refers to synthetic oil obtained by heating organic material (kerogen) contained in oil shale to a temperature which will separate it into oil, combustible gas, and the residual carbon that remains in the spent shale. All figures are presented in barrels and metric tons.
The pullback is minor compared to oil’s recent moves. WTI and Brent futures are each up by about $15 per barrel since exactly two months ago. Oil takes breather after seven week rally [Video]
Iran is producing 3.2 million, and the oil minister said he wants to get to 3.6 million by the end of the first quarter next year. So they’re ramping up and at the same time, Saudi Arabia is ...
In 1998, the USGS estimated that the 1002 area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge contains a total of between 5.7 and 16.0 billion barrels (2.54 × 10 9 m 3) of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil, with a mean estimate of 10.4 billion barrels (1.65 × 10 9 m 3), of which 7.7 billion barrels (1.22 × 10 9 m 3) falls within the Federal ...
U.S. stocks sank, and oil prices slipped amid two key pieces of data: the JOLTS job openings survey, which showed a softening in the labor market, and factory orders data.
Oil and gas reserves denote discovered quantities of crude oil and natural gas (oil or gas fields) that can be profitably produced/recovered from an approved development. Oil and gas reserves tied to approved operational plans filed on the day of reserves reporting are also sensitive to fluctuating global market pricing.
