Title: U.S. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids reserves [electronic resource]

• Distribution Media: 5 1/4" floppy diskettes
• SuDoc Number: E3.34:

Abstract: This data collection contains all data published in the reserves and production tables of each annual report of U.S. Crude Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Reserves, DOE/EIA-0216 from 1977 through 1990 listed in 14 separate ASCII files, one per report year.

Extent of Collection: The distribution media contained DOS ASCII documentation and 14 DOS ASCII data files.

Data Conversion: Extraneous DOS ASCII characters were removed from the documentation file. The "fixed" documentation file was saved with a .TXT file extension. Non-delimited rectangular DOS ASCII data files were translated to ASCII CSV data files using the specifications in the documentation. Variable labels were added to the translated data files. For more information about data conversion, see File Processing and Quality Control.

Minimum Software Requirements: (1) Software capable of reading ASCII text files. (2) Statistical software capable of importing ASCII CSV data files.

• ASCII text - text files can be read by most file viewers and word processing software.
• ASCII data - text data files can be imported into most statistical and database software. Data values may or may not use separators. Common separators are commas (ASCII CSV), tabs or spaces.

Files: DOS ASCII files contain carriage return characters. ASCII files do not contain carriage return characters. For information about downloading these files, see Downloading Tips.
