About this listen

 The geologic structure in which petroleum has been trapped and has accu-mulated, whether it was the source rock or the rock to which petroleum has migrated, is called the petroleum reservoir. Predictions of future shortages of oil began shortly after commercial production started in the late nineteenth century. In the first half of the twentieth century, there was national concern about imminent and irreversible shortages of oil on at least six occasions. In the 1950s M. King Hubbert, a geophysicist at Shell Development Company in Houston, developed a model of a cycle of production of finite nonrenewable resources that aimed to predict future production from analysis of production-to-date and estimates of the amount of remaining resource in the ground. In a series of publications Hubbert predicted that US oil production would peak by 1975 at the latest: actual peak production was in 1970. The peak in US production gave credence to Hubbert’s methodology, which is now commonly referred to as the “Hubbert curve. Proven reserves are those reserves of petroleum that are actually found by drilling operations and are recoverable by means of current technology. They have a high degree of accuracy and are frequently updated as the recovery operation proceeds. They may be updated by means of reservoir characteristics, such as production data, pressure transient analysis, and reservoir modeling. Probable reserves are those reserves of petroleum that are nearly certain but about which a slight doubt exists. Possible reserves are those reserves of petroleum with an even greater degree of uncertainty about recovery but about which there is some information. An additional term potential reserves is also used on occasion; these reserves are based on geological information about the types of sediments where such resources are likely to occur and they are considered to represent an educated guess. Then, there are the so-called undiscovered reserves, which are little more than figments of the imagination. The terms undiscovered reserves or undiscovered resources should be used with caution, especially when applied as a means of estimating reserves of petroleum reserves. The data are very speculative and are regarded by many energy scientists as having little value other than unbridled optimism.
