64 series are read into the energy preprocessor. Most energy data comes from: BGR, BP, EIA, and the IEA. There are some old WRI series that need to be either updated or the preprocessor needs to be adjusted. There are also some old series from the Oil & Gas Journal that need to be revisited. World Energy Council (WEC)

  • Definition: Energy Reserve, Oil, in Billion Barrels
  • Coverage: 97 Countries, 1952-2012
  • Source definition: Crude oil is a naturally occurring mixture consisting predominantly of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in natural underground reservoirs and is recoverable as liquids at typical atmospheric conditions of pressure and temperature. Crude oil has a viscosity no greater than 10 000 Pa.s (centipoises) at original reservoir conditions; oils of greater viscosity are included in Chapter 4 - Natural Bitumen and Extra-Heavy Oil. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are hydrocarbons that exist in the reservoir as constituents of natural gas but which are recovered as liquids in separators, field facilities or gas-processing plants. Natural gas liquids include (but are not limited to) ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes, natural gasoline and condensate; they may include small quantities of non-hydrocarbons. If reserves/resources/production/consumption of NGLs exist but cannot be separately quantified, they are included (as far as possible) under crude oil. In the tables the following definitions apply to both crude oil and natural gas liquids: Proved amount in place is the resource remaining in known natural reservoirs that has been carefully measured and assessed as exploitable under present and expected local economic conditions with existing available technology. Proved recoverable reserves are the quantity within the proved amount in place that can be recovered in the future under present and expected local economic conditions with existing available technology. Estimated additional amount in place is the resource additional to the proved amount in place that is of foreseeable economic interest. Speculative amounts are not included. World Energy Council 2013 World Energy Resources: Annexes A.7 Estimated additional reserves recoverable is the quantity within the estimated additional amount in place that geological and engineering information indicates with reasonable certainty might be recovered in the future.  All WEC definitions available at: https://www.worldenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/WER_2013_Annexes.pdf

  • Source definition: 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. '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.All current definitions of BGR available at:  http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Energie/Downloads/energiestudie_2015_en.pdf;jsessionid=674E3D3801CF68D1747AF72C614A72CB.1_cid284?__blob=publicationFile&v=2
