Model methodology and data description of the Production of Onshore Lower 48 Oil and Gas model

The Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) provides forecasts of energy activities as well as historical energy data to the general public. The need to provide reliable and relevant energy forecasts has led to the development of a model to forecast oil and natural gas supply activities in the midterm. The model is named the Production of Onshore Lower 48 Oil and Gas (PROLOG). This report documents the version of PROLOG that was used to produce the oil and gas supply forecast that served as input to other EIA models, which in turn produced forecasts for the Annual Energy Outlook 1991. It is anticipated that there will be subsequent revisions of the model to reflect improvements and alternative uses; therefore, there will be subsequent versions of the model documentation to reflect these modifications. This report presents the methodology used in the PROLOG model as well as the data inputs, data transformations, and model summary. The documentation is intended for use by energy analysts and others interested in specific information on how EIA forecasts domestic oil and gas production. 11 refs., 2 figs.
