. Probable ReservesProbable <strong>reserves</strong> are those additional <strong>reserves</strong> that are less certain to be recovered than proved<strong>reserves</strong>. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or lessthan the sum of the <strong>estimated</strong> proved + probable <strong>reserves</strong>.c. Possible ReservesPossible <strong>reserves</strong> are those additional <strong>reserves</strong> that are less certain to be recovered than probable<strong>reserves</strong>. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the<strong>estimated</strong> proved + probable + possible <strong>reserves</strong>.Other criteria that must also be met for the classification of <strong>reserves</strong> are provided in Section 5.5.4.5.4.2 Development <strong>and</strong> Production StatusEach of the <strong>reserves</strong> categories (proved, probable, <strong>and</strong> possible) may be divided into developed <strong>and</strong>undeveloped categories.a. Developed ReservesDeveloped <strong>reserves</strong> are those <strong>reserves</strong> that are expected to be recovered from existing wells <strong>and</strong>installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g.when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the <strong>reserves</strong> on production. The developedcategory may be subdivided into producing <strong>and</strong> non-producing.Developed producing <strong>reserves</strong> are those <strong>reserves</strong> that are expected to be recovered from completionintervals open at the time of the estimate. These <strong>reserves</strong> may be currently producing or, if shut in,they must have previously been on production, <strong>and</strong> the date of resumption of production must beknown with reasonable certainty.Developed non-producing <strong>reserves</strong> are those <strong>reserves</strong> that either have not been on production, orhave previously been on production but are shut in <strong>and</strong> the date of resumption of production isunknown.
