This report is part of an ongoing series of quarterly publications that monitors discoveries of crude oil and natural gas in foreign countries and provides an analysis of the reserve additions that result. It is prepared by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) under the Foreign Energy Supply Assessment Program (FESAP). A summary of discoveries and reserve additions that result from recent international exploration and development activities is presented. EIA believes that this information is useful to petroleum industry analysts, various government agencies, and political leaders for the development, implementation, and evaluation of energy policy and legislation. A discovery, as used in this publication, is a published estimate of the ultimate recovery for a new field, reservoir, or well. This ultimate recovery is defined in this report as cumulative production plus remaining reserves. These discoveries are obtained from various oil industry periodicals and company annual or quarterly reports. It is important to keep in mind that not all discoveries are announced and not all announced discoveries are published. Some discoveries may be exaggerated or understated for political or other reasons. Therefore, the data in this report should be used with caution. 18 refs., 7 figs., 4 tabs.
