Discovered Petroleum Initially in Place (DPIIP), is defined in the COGEH handbook as the quantity of
hydrocarbons that are estimated to be in place within a known accumulation. DPIIP is divided into
recoverable and unrecoverable portions, with the estimated future recoverable portion classified as reserves
and contingent resources. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable or technically feasible to
produce any portion of this DPIIP except for those identified as proved or probable reserves. At this time all
of the DPIIP not classified as reserves would be classified as Unrecoverable Resources.
