German to English translations [PRO] Science - Geology
German term or phrase:POS
Die Foerdererwartung aus den bestehenden Bohrungen einschliesslich der zwei 1996er Ablenkungen innerhalb der wirtschaftlichen Lebensdauer fuer das Entwicklungsszenario “Referenzfall Basis” (d.h. bis 2023), sowie die
POS-gewichtete Foerderung
aus den geplanten, wirtschaftlich bewerten lagerstaettentechnischen Massnahmen ergeben mit dem Base Case Preisszenario die “proven Reserves.” Aus der
POS-Wichtung
der Projekte ergeben sich die Differenzen zwischen den Tabellen 6.4.2 und 6.4.3, diese Differenz wird als “unproven” gefuehrt.
Die (POS-gewichtete) Foerdererwartung
aus den weiteren 12 Ablenkungen und der Horizontalbohrung RLMR 377 (Entwicklungsszenario “Referenzfall”) ergibt die “Proven Undeveloped Reserves.”
So far the only translation I've been able to find all too often has been point of service. I don't think this is the correct translation. Because this text pertains to oil, the Foerdererwartung refers to anticipated production.
Thank you! Good thing I can count on kudos answerers to be resourceful because this was really holding me up and "point of service" seemed like a far stretch. Well done. 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Explanation: Ich kann mir ein Berechnungsmodell vorstellen, wobei die Lage der Verkaufsstellen (point of sales) entscheidend sein kann für das Rendement. Resultat: POS-gewichtete Foerderung.
