Abstract
The table lists the standard deviation of the range of published data on reserves. A relative confidence ranking in the validity of the underlying assessment is also given: the lower the Surprise Factor, the less the chance for revision. The region has been very thoroughly explored leaving little scope for surprise. The high standard deviation, as regards Canada’s reported reserves, reflects the anomalous reporting on non-conventional oil in the tar-sands by the Oil and Gas Journal
