K.C. and Ernie are assigned to go undercover and join a suspicious group of environmental activists known as the Volunteens so they can learn more about them and their leader, a young woman named Keller. K.C. and Ernie's cover is blown immediately as Keller knows they were sent to investigate her, which she allows them to do to prove that she has nothing to hide. Ernie becomes concerned that K.C. has been brainwashed into following the group's beliefs, after she begins agreeing with Keller. Meanwhile, Craig is assigned to protect Rollin, the ambassador to Monrovia, who is also an old friend. Craig prepares several large food dishes for Rollin, but is disappointed to learn that he no longer consumes fattening meals. Rollin convinces Craig to join him at a gym, but after Craig begins using a stair climber, Kira and Judy inform him that the machine has been implanted with a bomb that will detonate if he slows down. Judy eventually disarms the bomb, which was meant for Rollin. When Ernie tells his family about his concern for K.C., Craig tries unsuccessfully to convince him that she is simply maintaining her cover as one of Keller's followers.

Scholastic Accomplishments Quarterly chooses K.C. to be interviewed for their latest issue, as she is the smartest student at her school and in the Washington D.C. area. Ernie warns K.C. not to do the interview, as a precaution to protect her identity as a spy. K.C. disregards Ernie's warning and meets with the magazine author, C.W. Barnes, who plans to follow her around for two days so he can write a detailed article about her life, making it a larger story than what she initially expected. C.W. also requests to meet her parents, who are out of town; K.C. tells him that her father is an astronaut who is currently in space, and that her mother has a fear of leaving their house. C.W. then visits the Cooper residence, where K.C. disguises herself as her mother, Kira. To help K.C., Marisa unexpectedly arrives at the house disguised as K.C.'s mother, unaware that K.C. is already portraying Kira. Marisa then claims to be K.C.'s other mother, before K.C. eventually zaps him unconscious with an electrical device. After Ernie and Marisa convince K.C. that she does not have to be the best at everything, she has C.W. write instead about Alexis, the second smartest student at her school.

Because of the unexpected presence of enemies, K.C. is forced to abort a mission that only she and a few others knew about, which leads Agent Johnson to believe that there is a mole in The Organization who leaked out information about the mission. Johnson assigns K.C. to find the mole, and she decides to get advice from Zane to help her figure out who it could be. K.C. must memorize a code that allows her to access Zane's secure cell at The Organization, as Johnson believes that it is too risky to write it down and leave a paper trail. Zane's advice leads K.C. to suspect that either Marisa or one of her own family members may have leaked the information, but she eventually learns that she sleep-talks about her missions and that her room was bugged with a listening device. K.C. later discovers that Zane has escaped after someone overheard her mentioning the code in her sleep and used it to break him out. Meanwhile, Ernie donates some of Craig's coats to a school charity sale, but later discovers that one of the coats was a $2 million spy jacket created by The Organization for missions. Ernie eventually tracks down the man who purchased the jacket and takes it from him while he is distracted listening to headphones.

K.C., Marisa and the rest of the Coopers flee to a safe house in Rio de Janeiro after Zane and his men target them. After two weeks in the safe house – a run-down apartment – K.C., Ernie and Marisa go into the city to contact The Organization. While in the city, Ernie meets Zoe, a young woman from Kansas who likes him. However, K.C. is suspicious of Zoe and ends their conversation as the Coopers are not to speak to anyone because of the possibility that Zane could be tracking them. K.C. contacts The Organization and learns that Zane is unaware of their whereabouts. K.C. then signs up the family for a mission to capture Passaro Grande, a local smuggler of exotic birds. After capturing Grande, Craig, Kira and Judy take him to the local authorities while K.C., Ernie and Marisa return to the safe house. A strong enemy agent named Sheena, who frequently talks to herself, breaks into the safe house and reveals that she was sent by Zane to kill them. After fighting K.C. and Ernie, Zoe breaks in and knocks out Sheena. Zoe reveals that she is an agent for The Organization who was assigned to protect the family. The group gets into a vehicle to head to a safe location, but K.C. must take a detour through the jungle after learning that Sheena is following them. The next day, Sheena locates the group and incapacitates Ernie, Marisa and Zoe with a small device that electrocutes them. K.C. and Sheena prepare to battle.

K.C. is upset to learn that she has received the same SAT score as Marisa: 1060. K.C. later learns that Beverly had Craig change her SAT result because she received a perfect score. Less than one percent of the population receives a perfect score; leaving the original score intact would draw unnecessary attention to K.C., putting her spy career at risk. K.C. disagrees with Beverly's decision as it will prevent her from being accepted into certain colleges. Beverly tells K.C. that The Organization wants her to remain a spy rather than go to college. K.C. drives to New York to retake her SAT test, while Ernie and Zoe team up for a mission to stop smugglers who are working in a party supplies warehouse. After completing the mission, Ernie asks Zoe to be his girlfriend, but she tells him that she has been assigned to a four-year mission in Antarctica. Ernie agrees to wait for Zoe until she concludes her mission. Meanwhile, Marisa wants K.C. to talk to The Organization about letting her become a spy. Marisa is insulted when K.C. tells her that she is not intelligent enough to be a spy. K.C. later tells Marisa that it would be better if she attended college rather than become a spy. Marisa, who does not want to attend college, becomes further upset at K.C. and decides to temporarily end their friendship. Two months later, K.C. learns that she has received a perfect SAT score.

document_title: Oil reserves

question_text: where does most of the worlds oil come from

text: Oil reserves

text: Classifications[edit]

text: All reserve estimates involve uncertainty, depending on the amount of reliable geologic and engineering data available and the interpretation of that data. The relative degree of uncertainty can be expressed by dividing reserves into two principal classifications—"proven" (or "proved") and "unproven" (or "unproved").[7] Unproven reserves can further be divided into two subcategories—"probable" and "possible"—to indicate the relative degree of uncertainty about their existence.[7] The most commonly accepted definitions of these are based on those approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the World Petroleum Council (WPC) in 1997.[8]

tag: p

text: Proven reserves[edit]

text: Proven reserves are those reserves claimed to have a reasonable certainty (normally at least 90% confidence) of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, with existing technology. Industry specialists refer to this as "P90" (that is, having a 90% certainty of being produced). Proven reserves are also known in the industry as "1P".[9][10]

text: Proven reserves are further subdivided into "proven developed" (PD) and "proven undeveloped" (PUD).[10][11] PD reserves are reserves that can be produced with existing wells and perforations, or from additional reservoirs where minimal additional investment (operating expense) is required.[11] PUD reserves require additional capital investment (e.g., drilling new wells) to bring the oil to the surface.[9][11]

text: Until December 2009 "1P" proven reserves were the only type the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allowed oil companies to report to investors. Companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges must substantiate their claims, but many governments and national oil companies do not disclose verifying data to support their claims. Since January 2010 the SEC now allows companies to also provide additional optional information declaring 2P (both proven and probable) and 3P (proven plus probable plus possible) provided the evaluation is verified by qualified third party consultants, though many companies choose to use 2P and 3P estimates only for internal purposes.

text: Unproven reserves[edit]

text: Unproven reserves are based on geological and/or engineering data similar to that used in estimates of proven reserves, but technical, contractual, or regulatory uncertainties preclude such reserves being classified as proven.[12] Unproven reserves may be used internally by oil companies and government agencies for future planning purposes but are not routinely compiled. They are sub-classified as probable and possible.[12]

text: Probable reserves are attributed to known accumulations and claim a 50% confidence level of recovery. Industry specialists refer to them as "P50" (i.e., having a 50% certainty of being produced). The sum of proven plus probable reserves is also referred to in the industry as "2P" (proven plus probable).[9]

text: Possible reserves are attributed to known accumulations that have a less likely chance of being recovered than probable reserves. This term is often used for reserves which are claimed to have at least a 10% certainty of being produced ("P10"). Reasons for classifying reserves as possible include varying interpretations of geology, reserves not producible at commercial rates, uncertainty due to reserve infill (seepage from adjacent areas) and projected reserves based on future recovery methods. The cumulative amount of proven, probable and possible resources are referred to in the industry as "3P" (proven plus probable plus possible).[9]

text: Russian reserve categories[edit]

text: In Russia, and reserves categories A, B, and C1 correspond roughly to proved developed producing, proved developed nonproducing, and proved undeveloped, respectively; the designation ABC1 corresponds to proved reserves. The Russian category C2 includes probable and possible reserves.[13]

text: Strategic petroleum reserves[edit]

text: Many countries maintain government-controlled oil reserves for both economic and national security reasons. According to the United States Energy Information Administration, approximately 4.1 billion barrels (650,000,000 m3) of oil are held in strategic reserves, of which 1.4 billion is government-controlled. These reserves are generally not counted when computing a nation's oil reserves.

text: Resources[edit]

text: A more sophisticated system of evaluating petroleum accumulations was adopted in 2007 by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), World Petroleum Council (WPC), American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE). It incorporates the 1997 definitions for reserves, but adds categories for contingent resources and prospective resources.[7]

text: Contingent resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, but the applied project(s) are not yet considered mature enough for commercial development due to one or more contingencies. Contingent resources may include, for example, projects for which there are no viable markets, or where commercial recovery is dependent on technology under development, or where evaluation of the accumulation is insufficient to clearly assess commerciality.

text: Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development.

text: The United States Geological Survey uses the terms technically and economically recoverable resources when making its petroleum resource assessments. Technically recoverable resources represent that proportion of assessed in-place petroleum that may be recoverable using current recovery technology, without regard to cost. Economically recoverable resources are technically recoverable petroleum for which the costs of discovery, development, production, and transport, including a return to capital, can be recovered at a given market price.

text: "Unconventional resources" exist in petroleum accumulations that are pervasive throughout a large area. Examples include extra heavy oil, oil sand, and oil shale deposits. Unlike "conventional resources", in which the petroleum is recovered through wellbores and typically requires minimal processing prior to sale, unconventional resources require specialized extraction technology to produce. For example, steam and/or solvents are used to mobilize bitumen for in-situ recovery. Moreover, the extracted petroleum may require significant processing prior to sale (e.g., bitumen upgraders).[7] The total amount of unconventional oil resources in the world considerably exceeds the amount of conventional oil reserves, but are much more difficult and expensive to develop.

text: Estimation techniques[edit]

text: The amount of oil in a subsurface reservoir is called oil in place (OIP).[11] Only a fraction of this oil can be recovered from a reservoir. This fraction is called the recovery factor.[11] The portion that can be recovered is considered to be a reserve. The portion that is not recoverable is not included unless and until methods are implemented to produce it. [12]

text: Volumetric method[edit]

text: Volumetric methods attempt to determine the amount of oil in place by using the size of the reservoir as well as the physical properties of its rocks and fluids. Then a recovery factor is assumed, using assumptions from fields with similar characteristics. OIP is multiplied by the recovery factor to arrive at a reserve number. Current recovery factors for oil fields around the world typically range between 10 and 60 percent; some are over 80 percent. The wide variance is due largely to the diversity of fluid and reservoir characteristics for different deposits.[15][16][17] The method is most useful early in the life of the reservoir, before significant production has occurred.

text: Materials balance method[edit]

text: The materials balance method for an oil field uses an equation that relates the volume of oil, water and gas that has been produced from a reservoir and the change in reservoir pressure to calculate the remaining oil. It assumes that, as fluids from the reservoir are produced, there will be a change in the reservoir pressure that depends on the remaining volume of oil and gas. The method requires extensive pressure-volume-temperature analysis and an accurate pressure history of the field. It requires some production to occur (typically 5% to 10% of ultimate recovery), unless reliable pressure history can be used from a field with similar rock and fluid characteristics.[12]

text: Production decline curve method[edit]

text: The decline curve method uses production data to fit a decline curve and estimate future oil production. The three most common forms of decline curves are exponential, hyperbolic, and harmonic. It is assumed that the production will decline on a reasonably smooth curve, and so allowances must be made for wells shut in and production restrictions. The curve can be expressed mathematically or plotted on a graph to estimate future production. It has the advantage of (implicitly) including all reservoir characteristics. It requires a sufficient history to establish a statistically significant trend, ideally when production is not curtailed by regulatory or other artificial conditions.[12]

text: Reserves growth[edit]

text: Experience shows that initial estimates of the size of newly discovered oil fields are usually too low. As years pass, successive estimates of the ultimate recovery of fields tend to increase. The term reserve growth refers to the typical increases in estimated ultimate recovery that occur as oil fields are developed and produced.[4]

Notes:

1 Reserve to Production ratio (in years), calculated as reserves / annual production. (from above)

text: It is estimated that between 100 and 135 billion tonnes (which equals between 133 and 180 billions m³ of oil) of the world's oil reserves have been used between 1850 and the present.[21]

text: OPEC countries[edit]

text: Since OPEC started to set production quotas on the basis of reserves levels in the 1980s, many of its members have reported significant increases in their official reserves.[22][23] There are doubts about the reliability of these estimates, which are not provided with any form of verification that meet external reporting standards.[22] The following table illustrates these rises.

text: The sudden revisions in OPEC reserves, totaling nearly 300 bn barrels, have been much debated.[24] Some of it is defended partly by the shift in ownership of reserves away from international oil companies, some of whom were obliged to report reserves under conservative US Securities and Exchange Commission rules.[22][25] The most prominent explanation of the revisions is prompted by a change in OPEC rules which set production quotas (partly) on reserves. In any event, the revisions in official data had little to do with the actual discovery of new reserves.[22]

text: Total reserves in many OPEC countries hardly changed in the 1990s.[22] Official reserves in Kuwait, for example, were unchanged at 96.5 Gbbl (15.34×10^9 m3) (including its share of the Neutral Zone) from 1991 to 2002, even though the country produced more than 8 Gbbl (1.3×10^9 m3) and did not make any important new discoveries during that period.[22] The case of Saudi Arabia is also striking, with proven reserves estimated at between 260 and 264 billion barrels (4.20×1010 m3) in the past 18 years, a variation of less than 2%,[22] while extracting approximately 60 billion barrels (9.5×109 m3) during this period.

text: Sadad al-Huseini, former head of exploration and production at Saudi Aramco, estimates 300 Gbbl (48×10^9 m3) of the world's 1,200 Gbbl (190×10^9 m3) of proven reserves should be recategorized as speculative resources, though he did not specify which countries had inflated their reserves.[26] Dr. Ali Samsam Bakhtiari, a former senior expert of the National Iranian Oil Company, has estimated that Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have overstated reserves by a combined 320–390bn barrels and has said, "As for Iran, the usually accepted official 132 billion barrels (2.10×1010 m3) is almost one hundred billion over any realistic assay."[27] Petroleum Intelligence Weekly reported that official confidential Kuwaiti documents estimate reserves of Kuwait were only 48 billion barrels (7.6×10^9 m3), of which half were proven and half were possible. The combined value of proven and possible is half of the official public estimate of proven reserves.[23]

text: In July 2011, OPEC's Annual Statistical Review showed Venezuela's reserves to be larger than Saudi Arabia's.[28][29]

text: Prospective resources[edit]

text: Arctic prospective resources[edit]

text: A 2008 United States Geological Survey estimates that areas north of the Arctic Circle have 90 billion barrels (1.4×1010 m3) of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and 44 billion barrels (7.0×109 m3) of natural gas liquids in 25 geologically defined areas thought to have potential for petroleum. This represented 13% of the expected undiscovered oil in the world. Of the estimated totals, more than half of the undiscovered oil resources were estimated to occur in just three geologic provinces—Arctic Alaska, the Amerasia Basin, and the East Greenland Rift Basins. More than 70% of the mean undiscovered oil resources was estimated to occur in five provinces: Arctic Alaska, Amerasia Basin, East Greenland Rift Basins, East Barents Basins, and West Greenland–East Canada. It was further estimated that approximately 84% of the oil and gas would occur offshore. The USGS did not consider economic factors such as the effects of permanent sea ice or oceanic water depth in its assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. This assessment was lower than a 2000 survey, which had included lands south of the Arctic Circle.[30][31][32]

text: Unconventional prospective resources[edit]

text: In October 2009, the USGS updated the Orinoco tar sands (Venezuela) value to 513 billion barrels (8.16×1010 m3).[33]

text: In June 2013 the U.S. Energy Information Administration published a global inventory of estimated recoverable tight oil and tight gas resources in shale formations, "Technically Recoverable Shale Oil and Shale Gas Resources: An Assessment of 137 Shale Formations in 41 Countries Outside the United States." The inventory is incomplete due to exclusion of tight oil and gas from sources other than shale such as sandstone or carbonates, formations underlying the large oil fields located in the Middle East and the Caspian region, off shore formations, or about which there is little information. Estimated technically recoverable shale oil resources total 335 to 345 billion barrels.[34]
