Potentially producing reserves of oil or gas that have been penetrated by a well bore but are separated from the well bore by casing (pipe) and cement and hence cannot be produced without recompleting the well. If the zone penetrated is known to be productive (by tests or production elsewhere) the reserves are classified as proven but non-producing.
Industry:Energy
The difference between the total gas available from all sources, and the total gas accounted for as sales, net interchange, and company use. This difference includes leakage or other actual losses, discrepancies due to meter inaccuracies, variations of temperature and/or pressure, and other variants, particularly due to measurements being made at different times. In cycle billings, an amount of gas supply used but not billed as of the end of a period. See UNBILLED REVENUES. Compare SENDOUT, GAS.
