Oil and gas resources, reserves and productive capacities
As part of the US Federal Energy Administration's (FEA) effort to prepare reserve and productive capacity estimates of oil and natural gas, the FEA contracted for and performed engineering analyses of 59 major oil and gas fields in the US. The initial report describes the procedures used to select and analyze the 59 oil and gas fields. These major oil and gas fields represent 52% of the proved reserves of crude oil and 28% of the proved reserves of natural gas. The summaries of the major oil and gas field studies were prepared by FEA staff after a careful and thorough review of each report. All of the reports were reviewed for proper methodology, internal conistency, reasonableness, and compliance with definitions. The reserve and capacity estimates shown in these summaries, and the factors evaluated in arriving at those estimates, are in each case those submitted by the contractor. FEA has noted those relevant factors which are highly judgmental, and those evaluations which are based on limited information. Where possible, the sensitivity of reserve and capacity estimates to those factors has been noted.
