Oil-In-Place is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered (equivalent to "total resources"). It should be noted that there is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If a discovery is made, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources or, if it is developed, there is no certainty as to the timing of such development. Resource categories are as defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH).
