The easy to extract, high quality crude was pumped first.

An electronic communication is presumed to be capable of being retrieved by the addressee when it reaches the addressee's electronic address.

There is a huge difference between potential deposits hidden somewhere in large shale formations and recoverable reserves that can actually be produced economically.

The time of receipt of an electronic communication is the time when it becomes capable of being retrieved by the addressee at an electronic address designated by the addressee.

Furthermore, the definition is limited to the water contained in the saturated zone of the aquifer since only that water is extractable.

In fact, estimates by the International Energy Agency suggest that the most significant recoverable reserves of shale gas are in the US and China, not Europe.

The following wording is proposed for article 10, paragraph 2 The time of receipt of an electronic communication is the time when it becomes capable of being retrieved in an unmodified state by the addressee at an electronic address.

The United States Geological Survey has estimated that the Levant Basin, which extends across the Israeli, Cypriot, and Lebanese seabed, contains some 3.45 trillion cubic meters of recoverable natural gas and 1.7 billion barrels of oil.

The time of receipt of an electronic communication at another electronic address of the addressee is the time when it becomes capable of being retrieved by the addressee at that address and the addressee becomes aware that the electronic communication has been sent to that address.
