Base Year Reserves

See also: Resource Analysis, Additions to Reserves

For fossil resources only, enter the reserves of the resource in the Base Year. Depending on your analysis, you may wish to define fossil reserves as the either proven or ultimately recoverable reserve. This variable is not specified in future years. However you can specify additions to reserves which are added to this initial value.

As resources are utilized in future years these initial reserves will gradually be drawn down.  You can see a report showing remaining reserves in the Results view.
