A joint-association committee was organized to write a unified set of definitions for proved reserves that SPE, AAPG, API, other interested organizations, industry and units of government can adopt and use. The proposed definitions appear for the purpose of soliciting member comments before their anticipated adoption by the 3 sponsoring organizations. The committee directed its carefully written proposed definitions toward all present and future applications in industry and government circles. These definitions include the terms proved reserves, crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, reservoir, and enhanced recovery.
