Definitions of Gas Resources • Reserves: • Meaning remaining resources in all currently known gas accumulation, • which will be produced in the future under currently economic • conditions and the current available technology • Discovered Potential: • Meaning all other known remaining gas resources, including gas from • undrilled structures, which need new, advanced technologies, or • improved economic conditions or any other incentives to be • developed and brought to the market. • Undiscovered Potential: • Meaning remaining gas resources, which are of exploratory nature or • speculative I.e. leads indicated by seismic. • Excluded are all future resources, which are based on geological • statistical methods or the historic rate of discovery.
