Revision as of 22:17, 20 June 2016

64 series are read into the energy preprocessor. Most energy data comes from: <a href="BGR%20data">BGR</a>, <a href="BP%20data">BP</a>, <a href="Energy%20Information%20Administration%20%28EIA%29">EIA</a>, and the <a href="IEA%20data">IEA</a>. There are some old <a href="WRI">WRI</a> series that need to be either updated or the preprocessor needs to be adjusted. There are also some old series from the <a href="Oil%20%26%20Gas%20Journal">Oil & Gas Journal</a> that need to be revisited. <a href="World%20Energy%20Council%20%28WEC%29">World Energy Council (WEC)</a>

Oil

Oil production is initialized using SeriesEnProdOilIEA

Source: IEA 2012 Batch Pull
Definition: Crude Oil Production
Country coverage: 137 Countries, 1971-2011
Source definition: Crude oil comprises crude oil, natural gas liquids, refinery feedstocks, and additives as well as other hydrocarbons (including emulsified oils, synthetic crude oil, mineral oils extracted from bituminous minerals such as oil shale, bituminous sand, etc., and oils from coal liquefaction). Crude oil is a mineral oil consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons of natural origin and associated impurities, such as sulphur. It exists in the liquid phase under normal surface temperatures and pressure and its physical characteristics (density, viscosity, etc.) are highly variable. It includes field or lease condensates (separator liquids) which are recovered from associated and non-associated gas where it is commingled with the commercial crude oil stream.

Source defintion: Total proved reserves of coal are generally taken to be those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known deposits under existing economic and operating conditions. Total proved coal reserves are shown for anthracite and bituminous (including brown coal) and sub-bituminous and lignite. Coal reserve data is in million tonnes. Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratios represent the length of time that those remaining reserves would last if production were to continue at the previous year's rate. They are calculated by dividing remaining reserves at the end of the year by the production in that year. The R/P ratios are calculated excluding other solid fuels in reserves and production. R/P ratios are available by country and feature in the table of coal reserves.

Rather the data series has been compiled using a combination of primary official sources and third-party data. There is a time series of natural gas reserves. Data are measured in billion cubic metres.Although every effort is made to come up with a consistent series for reserves based on a common definition, in reality different countries use different methodologies and the data have varying levels of reliability.R/P ratios represent the length of time that those remaining reserves would last if production were to continue at the previous year's rate.

Dry natural gas only contains gaseous components and mainly consists of methane. Sour natural gas: free natural gas or crude oil gas in structural or stratigraphic traps. Natural gas from non-conventional deposits (in short: non-conventional natural gas): Due to the nature and properties of the reservoir, the gas does not usually flow in adequate quantities into the production well without undertaking additional technical measures, either because it is not present in the rock in a free gas phase, or because the reservoir is not sufficiently permeable. These non-conventional deposits of natural gas include shale gas, tight gas, coal bed methane (CBM), aquifer gas and gas from gas hydrates.All current definitions of BGR available at: <a href="<a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a>" alt="<a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a>" title="<a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a>"><a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a></a>

Initialize Oil Reserves using SeriesEnReserOilBP

Source: BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy 2013
Definition: Oil Reserves (Data in thousand million barrels)
Coverage: 49 Countries (1980-2014)
Source defintion: Total proved reserves of oil are those quantities that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty can be recovered in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic and geological conditions. The data series has been compiled using a combination of primary official sources and third-party data. Oil reserves include field condensate and natural gas liquids as well as crude oil. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels from non-hydrocarbon sources, such as ethanol from corn or sugar or synthetic oil derived from natural gas (so-called GTL or gas-to-liquids), are not included in either the reserves or production series. Data are measured in thousand million barrels. R/P ratios represent the length of time that those remaining reserves would last if production were to continue at the previous year's rate. They are calculated by dividing remaining reserves at the end of the year by the production in that year. Reserves-to-production (R/P) ratios are available by country and feature in the table of oil reserves.

Definition: Shale Oil Reserves
Coverage: 21 Countries, 2011-2013
Source defintion: Reserves: Proven volumes of energy resources economically exploitable at today’s prices and using today’s technology. Non-Conventional Crude Oil: Hydrocarbons that cannot be produced used “classic” methods, but which require more complicated technology to produce them from the ground. In the reservoir itself, this oil is either incapable of flowing or can only flow marginally because of its high viscosity and/or density (extra heavy oil, bitumen), or because of the very low permeability of the reservoir rock (crude oil in tight rocks, tight oil, shale oil). In the case of oil shale, the oil is still in the form of kerogen in an early maturation stage.Original reserves: cumulative production plus remaining reserves.

Source defintion: Undiscovered resources are those resources postulated from geologic knowledge and theory to exist outside of known fields. Undiscovered conventional resources can be allocated by volume percent among various land entities within the assessment unit. Undiscovered conventional resources are partitioned among various land entities within the assessment unit, and also their offshore areas, using allocation percentages estimated by the assessment geologist. Geology and exploration/discovery history were characterized in terms of an assessment unit (AU), which was the basic entity for organizing data for the volumetric assessments of undiscovered oil and gas resources. Estimates of the number and sizes of undiscovered oil and gas fields greater than or equal to a minimum size and their coproduct ratios were recorded on assessment forms. Reserve growth of fields was considered in evaluating existing and undiscovered field sizes. The grown field sizes were plotted to provide a discovery-history field profile from which undiscovered field sizes were estimated.

Definition: Natural Gas Resources
Coverage: 141 Countries, 2011-2013
Source defintion:Resources: Proven amounts of energy resources which cannot currently be exploited for technical and/or economic reasons, as well as unproven but geologically possible energy resources which may be exploitable in the future. Natural Gas: Gas occurring naturally underground or flowing out at the surface. Combustible gases with variable chemical compositions. Wet natural gas contains methane as well as longer chain hydrocarbon constituents. Dry natural gas only contains gaseous components and mainly consists of methane. Sour natural gas: free natural gas or crude oil gas in structural or stratigraphic traps. Natural gas from non-conventional deposits (in short: non-conventional natural gas): Due to the nature and properties of the reservoir, the gas does not usually flow in adequate quantities into the production well without undertaking additional technical measures, either because it is not present in the rock in a free gas phase, or because the reservoir is not sufficiently permeable. These non-conventional deposits of natural gas include shale gas, tight gas, coal bed methane (CBM), aquifer gas and gas from gas hydrates.All current definitions of BGR available at: <a href="<a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a>" alt="<a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a>" title="<a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a>"><a href="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" alt="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2" title="http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2">http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2</a></a>

Definition: Undiscovered Energy Resources, Oil
Coverage: 91 Countries, 2000
Source defintion: Undiscovered resources are those resources postulated from geologic knowledge and theory to exist outside of known fields. Undiscovered conventional resources can be allocated by volume percent among various land entities within the assessment unit. Undiscovered conventional resources are partitioned among various land entities within the assessment unit, and also their offshore areas, using allocation percentages estimated by the assessment geologist. Geology and exploration/discovery history were characterized in terms of an assessment unit (AU), which was the basic entity for organizing data for the volumetric assessments of undiscovered oil and gas resources. Estimates of the number and sizes of undiscovered oil and gas fields greater than or equal to a minimum size and their coproduct ratios were recorded on assessment forms. Reserve growth of fields was considered in evaluating existing and undiscovered field sizes. The grown field sizes were plotted to provide a discovery-history field profile from which undiscovered field sizes were estimated.
