Questions and Answers

What are proven reserves?

Proven reserves are the quantities of oil and gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable from known reservoirs. These reserves have a high degree of confidence and are considered economically viable.

How are probable reserves defined?

Probable reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas that are likely to be recoverable with a lower level of certainty than proven reserves. They are based on geological and engineering data but may involve some degree of interpretation or risk.

What are possible reserves and how are they different from proven and probable reserves?

Possible reserves are the quantities of oil and gas that are less certain to be recoverable than proven or probable reserves. They are based on a preliminary evaluation and are subject to a higher degree of risk and uncertainty.
