How this figure compares
bars are quoted figures — the categories beside them are not interchangeable† marks a published resource figure — the panel at the top of this page and the rows above — with no primary source on file. It covers those figures and nothing else. Every other number on this page — in the prose, the milestones, the development notes and the answers — is outside it, and many of those have no source recorded at all and carry no mark either, so the absence of a mark says nothing about them. Where a field has no published figure, the absence is explained in the text and cannot be marked.
A 2C contingent resource, a gas-in-place figure and a two-field hub estimate measure different things and are never summed here. What each category means →
