Introduction

The extraction and reserves data for the curves below were obtained form the Energy Information Agency and a few other sources. The function used to fit the extraction data is a sum of Verhulst functions.

California


Total to be extracted = 38.4 x 109 barrels; reserves = 9.5 x 109 barrels.

Colorado


The final peak is assumed to be symmetric, which is unlikely to occur.
Total to be extracted = 6.2 x 109 barrels; reserves = 3.8 x 109 barrels.

Kansas


The final peak is assumed to be symmetric, which is unlikely to occur.
Total to be extracted = 8.0 x 109 barrels; reserves = 1.5 x 109 barrels.

Montana


The final peak is assumed to be symmetric, which is unlikely to occur.
Total to be extracted = 3.0 x 109 barrels; reserves = 1.2 x 109 barrels.

New Mexico


The final peak is assumed to be symmetric, which is unlikely to occur.
Total to be extracted = 8.0 x 109 barrels; reserves = 1.7 x 109 barrels.

Utah


The final peak is assumed to be symmetric, which is unlikely to occur.
Total to be extracted = 3.0 x 109 barrels; reserves = 1.9 x 109 barrels.

Wyoming


The final peak is assumed to be symmetric, which is unlikely to occur.
Total to be extracted =7.0 x 109 barrels; reserves = 2.9 x 109 barrels.
