Probable Reserves definition

Probable Reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7 means reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
Probable Reserves means those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves;
Probable Reserves means those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than Proved Reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable Reserves. At least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable Reserves is the target level of certainty.

More Definitions of Probable Reserves

Probable Reserves means the estimated quantity and grade of that part of a measured or indicated resource for which the economic viability has been demonstrated by adequate information on engineering, operating and economic factors, with sufficient accuracy to be used as a basis for decisions on further development and significant capital expenditures.
Probable Reserves means those quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas by-products which are determined to be “Probable Reserves” by the Independent Engineer in accordance with standard Canadian industry practice.
Probable Reserves means the estimated quantities of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable with presently available technology at an economically viable cost (as determined in accordance with the guidelines of the Society of Petroleum Engineers).
Probable Reserves means those reserves which analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data does not demonstrate to be proved, but where such analysis suggests the likelihood of their existence and future recovery under current technology and existing or anticipated economic conditions, provided that the Probable Reserves to be obtained by the application of enhanced recovery processes shall be the increased recovery over and above that included in Proved Reserves which can be realistically estimated for the pool on the basis of enhanced recovery processes which can be reasonably expected to be instituted in the future;
Probable Reserves as defined in the Definitions for Oil and Gas Reserves promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (or any generally recognized successor) as in effect at the time in question.
Probable Reserves means those reserves which analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data does not demonstrate to be proved, but where such analysis suggests the likelihood of their existence and future recovery under current technology and existing or anticipated economic conditions. Probable reserves to be obtained by the application of enhanced recovery processes will be the increased recovery over and above estimated Proved Reserves which can be realistically estimated for the pool on the basis of enhanced recovery processes which can be reasonably expected to be instituted in the future.
Probable Reserves means unproved Reserves which analysis of geological and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable. In this context, when probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable Reserves.
