Abstract: EIA’s Oil and Gas Reserves System (OGRS) surveys collect data used to estimate proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas, and to determine the status and approximate levels of production. Data are published by EIA and used by public and private analysts. Respondents are operators of oil wells, natural gas wells, and natural gas processing plants.
