  • Robert, 
    Here is my idea for adding some INVALUABLE information to your web-site and making it an incredibly popular research tool for investors. Create an "Oil & Gas Reserves" category for ALL companies you can lay your hands on. Wow, that would be a great tool for investors.  I do it myself on individual stock companies but it isn't easy and pretty time consuming.  If you had such a chart and kept it updated, you should draw tons of inquiries.  It's nice to have gas reserves reported separate from oil reserves, but some companies report them only as "equivalents".   thanks Roy

    A.G.A. reported an injection of 80 BCF into the natural gas storage at 2,283 BCF, representing 69.3% full, up 2.4% from last week, compared to last year's of 1,985 BCF (60.3% full).



    Natural Gas Measurements

    The following are some of the standard abbreviations used in natural gas measurement

    Mcf: standard abbreviation for 1,000 cubic feet. 
    Bil cu ft: Billion cubic feet. Also abbreviated to bcf. 
    Tcf: trillion cubic feet. 
    Cu m: cubic meter. 
    bil cu m: billion cubic meters. Also abbreviated to bcm. 
    Tcm: trillion cubic meters. 
    quad or quads: quadrillion cubic feet. 
    MMBtu: Million British thermal units. 
    Dt: Dekatherm 

    What are Reserves?

    The calculated quantity of hydrocarbons or minerals which can be extracted profitably from a deposit, classified according to the level of confidence that can be placed in the data. Standard classifications are:

       Proven reservesReserves that have been sampled extensively, for example--in mining--by closely spaced diamond drill holes or by underground working giving an accurate picture of size and quality of reserves. Also called measured reserves. In oil, proven reserves are an estimate based on seismic and other exploratory data, linked to an assessment of economic and operating viability.

       Recoverable reserves In oil and gas, the portion of a field’s total estimate reserves that can actually be recovered from the field using currently available technology. Recoverable reserve estimates are dependent on factors such as reservoir pressure and the density of strata. 

       Probable reserves Valuable mineralization not sampled enough to estimate accurately the terms of tonnage and grade. Also called indicated reserves. 

       Possible reserves Valuable mineralization not sampled enough to estimate accurately its tonnage and grade, or even verify its existence. Also called inferred reserves. In oil, possible reserves are an estimate of reserves from an undrilled site or one that has not been seismically tested.

    Comments On the Energy Markets
    from the web manager

    posted: Aug. 13 2001 http://quotes.ino.com/exchanges/?c=energy

    The energy markets closed lower with the exception of unleaded gas on
    Monday due to light profit taking as traders squared their positions
    ahead of Tuesday's API inventory reports. Losses were limited due to
    increased tensions in the Middle East. 

    September crude oil posted an inside day with a lower close on Monday
    as it consolidated some of last Friday's gains. Closes above 28.42
    are needed to negate last week's potential double top and open the
    door for a larger-degree rebound during the last half of August.
    While momentum indicators are overbought warning bulls to use caution
    while the daily ADX is entering a bullish mode hinting that sideways
    to higher prices are possible near-term if new highs can be posted.
    Look for subdued trading on Tuesday ahead of this week's inventory
    reports.

    September heating oil posted an inside day as it consolidates below
    key resistance crossing at 75.00. Trading was subdued ahead of
    Tuesday's API inventory data report while heightened Middle East
    tensions limited today's losses. Look for subdued trading to continue
    on Tuesday as September is at an important crossroads in price
    direction. Multiple closes 75.20 would open the door for a
    larger-degree rally during the last half of August. However, closes
    below trendline support crossing near 72.30 would increase the odds
    that the rebound off July's low has likely ended. 

    September unleaded gas closed higher on Monday and above the 50%
    retracement level of this spring's decline crossing at 80.15. Profit
    taking ahead of the close tempered some of today's gains leaving the
    door open for sideways trading on Tuesday. Traders will be looking
    for a supportive inventory report on Tuesday to provide the catalyst
    needed to extend its rally off July's low. Losses were limited due to
    refinery problems and increased Middle East tensions. 

    September Henry Hub natural posted a quiet inside day with a slightly
    lower close on Monday as it continues to consolidate above trading
    range support crossing at 2.91. Closes above 3.512 or below 2.91 are
    needed to confirm a breakout of this summer's trading range and point
    the direction of the next trending move. Traders will be looking for
    this week's AGA inventory data report for a catalyst to push the
    market outside of this summer's trading range.
