Resource categories:
- Resources is a general term for all oil and natural gas that can be recovered
- Resources are classified according to maturity, which measures how far along they are in the planning phase leading to production
- The primary classifications are reserves, contingent resources and undiscovered resources
- Contingent resources are resources in projects awaiting a development decision
- Reserves and contingent resources make up total discovered recoverable resources
- Reserves are recoverable petroleum volumes not yet produced, but which have been approved for production
You can find a more detailed overview of discoveries and fields, as well as the distribution across resource categories, on the Norwegian Offshore Directorate's FactPages.
