Energy preprocessor

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.

Gas

Gas production is initialized using SeriesEnProdNatGasIEA

• Source: IEA 2012 Batch Pull
• Definition: Production of Natural Gas

It includes both "non-associated" gas originating from fields producing only hydrocarbons in gaseous form, and "associated" gas produced in association with crude oil as well as methane recovered from coal mines (colliery gas) or from coal seams (coal seam gas). Production represents dry marketable production within national boundaries, including offshore production and is measured after purification and extraction of NGL and sulphur. It includes gas consumed by gas processing plants and gas transported by pipeline. Quantities of gas that are re-injected, vented or flared are excluded. All IEA definitions available at:  <a href="https://www.iea.org/statistics/resources/balancedefinitions/#hydro&nbsp" alt="https://www.iea.org/statistics/resources/balancedefinitions/#hydro&nbsp" title="https://www.iea.org/statistics/resources/balancedefinitions/#hydro&nbsp">https://www.iea.org/statistics/resources/balancedefinitions/#hydro&nbsp</a>;

Crude Oil: Natural occurring mixture of liquid hydrocarbons.  The liquid hydrocarbons such as natural gas liquids (NGL) and condensates co-produced from a natural gas well are also categorized as oil production.

Conventional Crude Oil: Generally used to describe oil that can be produced by relatively simple methods and inexpensively thanks to its low viscosity and a density of less than 1 gm per cubic centimeter (heavy oil, light oil, condensate).

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.

Crude Oil: Natural occurring mixture of liquid hydrocarbons.  The liquid hydrocarbons such as natural gas liquids (NGL) and condensates co-produced from a natural gas well are also categorized as oil production.

Conventional Crude Oil: Generally used to describe oil that can be produced by relatively simple methods and inexpensively thanks to its low viscosity and a density of less than 1 gm per cubic centimeter (heavy oil, light oil, condensate).

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.
