Reserves
There is no oil or gas activity in New Hampshire due to limited crude oil and natural gas reserves. The maps below show crude oil and natural gas proven reserves by state in 2013 using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Proven (or proved) reserves are defined by the EIA as "estimated volumes of hydrocarbon resources that analysis of geologic and engineering data demonstrates with reasonable certainty are recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions." This means that proven reserves can change over time as prices change and technological advances are made. For example, in 2013 there was an increase in the price of natural gas, making it economical to extract natural gas that previously had been too expensive to extract. This price increase led the EIA to increase its estimates of proven natural gas reserves.[1]
