Geographical distribution of the
petroleum resource endowment of geologic provinces in Europe including
Turkey
Cumulative production is the amount of oil,
natural gas, or natural gas liquids produced from the oil and gas fields
in each province assessed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Remaining reserves
constitute the sum of proved plus probable reserves of oil, gas, or natural
gas liquids present in oil and gas fields within each province. These volumes
are from the proprietary Petroconsultants database, current through 1995,
(Petroconsultants, 1996) and are presented here with permission. The mean
values of undiscovered oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids amounts
presented here are aggregated at the geologic province level (U.S. Geological
Survey Assessment Team, 2000). Definitions of oil, natural gas, and natural
gas liquids are those used in the World Petroleum Assessment, 2000. Petroleum
is considered to include oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, and
is reported on a barrel of oil equivalents (BOE) basis, where 6000 cubic
feet of gas equals one barrel equivalent. Oil and natural gas liquids resources
are reported in millions of barrels (MMBO and MMBNGL). Natural gas is reported
in billions of cubic feet of gas (BCFG).
