Discussion of EUR Attributes Wang Yongxiang 2022, 41(6): 34-40.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2022.06.005 Abstract ( )   PDF (1993KB) ( )   Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is the main research area of foreign reservoir engineers and reserve estimators. However, the connotation of EUR has not been studied adequately at home. Whether EUR represents technical recoverable or economic recoverable reserves remains disputable. This paper makes an in-depth analysis of the definitions on EUR and the related terminologies made by the international authoritative organs and discusses systematically the EUR attributes in combination with the actual reserve estimation work. The paper draws four conclusions from analysis of cases. The conception of EUR has a wide range of connotation and its basic attributes can be defined as technical recoverable reserves. Against the particular application background of capital market and production business of oil companies, it is necessary to endow EUR with concrete connotations in combination with the related norms. EUR has a corresponding relation with the technical recoverable reserves defined in China’s applicable CCPR. China has attached great importance to technical recoverable reserves. This is a vivid reflection of intensified EUR management. China should step up extension and application of international EUR research achievements at home. Discussion of the EUR attributes has an active effect on perfection of the domestic reserve estimation and classification system. Application of EUR estimation method and technology plays an important role in determination of the ultimate recovery of unconventional oil and gas resources and reserves.
