INFERRED RESERVES (GROWTH OF CONVENTIONAL FIELDS)

Growth functions were calculated and applied to the 1992 estimates from the OGIFF data for oil and gas for each year of discovery for each region and commodity. The results are summarized in table 3. It is estimated that 60.0 BBO will be added to oil reserves and 322.0 TCFG to gas reserves during the 80 years following 1991.
