FOSSIL FUEL RESOURCES<br />

Oil<br />

Shale Oil<br />

- Assume 1.6 trillion barrels of oil potentially recoverable<br />

as of 1975 (assuming the future recovery rate to be 40%).<br />

The minimum allowable Reserve to Production (R/P) ratio is<br />

ten one.<br />

- Potential of 3.0 trillion B.O.E. but assuming 1977 technology<br />

only 200 billion B.O.E. actually recoverable.<br />

Natural Gas - Approximately 1.6 trillion B.O.E. potentially recoverable.<br />

Minimum allowable R/P = 7.1.<br />

Coal - Potential recoverable reserves equal approximately 12<br />

trillion B.O.E. assuming a conservative 25% recoverability.<br />
