Proved Reserves Beyond Low (LKO) and High (HKO) Known Oil

CG&A

Thus, the requirements are like the downdip limit in order to estimate that the updip volume also contains oil, rather than an associated gas cap. Of course, those volumes can be booked as gas based on the physics of fluid densities, but oil is preferred.It what other data might exist to build the case for up-structure oil?

Drillers

The Canadian oil sands are a case in point. At offshore fields, water is abundantly available and at onshore fields drillers often use the water that comes out of the well along with the oil instead of disposing of it. The technique has a smaller carbon footprint than gas-produced steam.
