What Do They Mean? (Oil and Gas abbreviations)

There are so many abbreviations used in the discussions is there a place to look for the definitions - If not can we start one - It would help the newbies and me! Some I can figure out and others . . . I know this is not interesting but could be helpful. Keith how about something on the header?

HPB
IP
IMO
MO
HP
Company name abbreviations
EUR
And many, many more

Shaleeee,

Seems like I've seen something on here before or maybe I just googled to find the answer.

HBP - Held by production (as in a lease or mineral rights are held by production)
IP- Initial Production
MO - Mineral Owner
EUR- Estimated Ultimate Recovery

HK- Petrohawk
ECA- Encana
CHK- Chesapeake
HB- Haliburton

IMO (don't know - do you mean UMO - Unleased Mineral owner?)
IMHO - In my humble opinion

Hope this helps.

Go to Google
Type in: Glossary of Oil and Gas Terms

Once it comes up there are several listings.
I found that the MMC (Mineral Management Consultants was a really good listing)....However, to some people one of the others may be more informative. I guess it depends on what you are looking for
