DEFINITION: This entry is the stock of proved reserves of crude oil in barrels (bbl). Proved reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated with a high degree of confidence to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions.

COMMENTARY     

Fred B.
6th August 2009 		These stats show that oil production for the U S is about 8 million bbl a day which is about 3 billion a year. However your reserve figures for the U S shows about 23 billion bbl in 2002 and 20 billion in 2007. Obviously I think it safe to say we did not find almost twice as much as what we started with in five years which is what would be necessary to be able to produce 3 billion a year for five years, start with 23 billion and end up with still 20 billion in five years. There is something very wrong with these numbers somewhere. Can someone give the real numbers or explain this as to how these numbers can be correct.
