Hi All,
I was attempting to evaluate the EIA's AEO 2014 reference case and came across the BOEM's 2011 assessment of offshore oil found at the link below:
http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy- ... t-pdf.aspx
Undiscovered TRR mean estimate for US offshore oil is 89 BBO (with F95 at 66 BBO) and they also look at undiscovered ERR (economically recoverable resources) and at $60/barrel the mean UERR=60 BB) and at $120/barrel UERR=75 BBO. Currently reserves are 10 BBO and reserve growth is expected to be 9 BBO so even at $60/barrel ERR= 79 BBO. Note UERR=undiscovered economically recoverable resources.
At $30/barrel UERR=40 BBO and with reserves plus reserves growth ERR=59 BBO.
I imagine others have read this assessment, I would be interested if others find it credible.
