Abstract: EIA’s Oil and Gas Reserves System (OGRS) surveys collect data used to estimate proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas, and to determine the status and approximate levels of production. Data are published by EIA and used by public and private analysts. Respondents are operators of oil wells, natural gas wells, and natural gas processing plants.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Changes for Form EIA-23L include a new spreadsheet form that collects reserves and production data at the state/state subdivision level instead of county level. Also the new form collects combined oil and condensate data and combined non-associated and associated-dissolved natural gas data. The new form will no longer require reporting for three reservoir types (conventional, low permeability, and shale). Respondents will report total reserves and the shale component. These changes will reduce the burden on respondents, while also meeting the needs of data users.
