Transcript Presentation of Chapter 2 Scope of Energy Statistics

Chapter 2 – Scope of energy statistics
Vladimir Markhonko
United Nations Statistics Division
The 4th meeting of the Oslo Group on energy statistics
Ottawa, Canada, 2-6 February 2009
Chapter 2: Scope of energy statistics
The current draft is an attempt to put together
various ideas/suggestions relevant to the
description of the scope of energy statistics.
It will be also updated based on the work of
InterEnerstat
It contains a number of questions which the Oslo
Group is invited to discuss and provide
guidance for further drafting
Structure of the chapter
A. Energy and energy statistics
B. Basic concepts and boundary issues
C. Energy sector
D. Final energy consumption
A. Energy and energy statistics
• Energy and energy statistics
It aims at describing in simple terms basic physical
concept in energy and link them to what is being
measured in energy statistics
• Energy statistics
• It may broadly encompass any data helpful for the
understanding of: availability of energy resources,
production, transformation, distribution and
consumption of energy products; size, structure
and activities of the energy sector
B. Basic concepts and (some)
boundary issues
• Energy resources and energy reserves
• Include in scope? Frequency?
• Energy and non-energy products
• definition energy products?
• boundary energy and non-energy products?
• definition of primary and secondary energy
products?
• Production boundary in energy statistics
• Flaring, venting and re-injection: production or
losses?
• Reference territory
C. Energy sector
• Definition of the energy sector
• Energy production outside the energy sector
• Implications of definition of energy sector
• Type of activities: extraction, manufacture,
production, transformation and distribution
• Only principal or also secondary and
ancillary activities?
D. Final energy consumption
• Final energy consumption
• Classification of final energy consumers
• Include the following statistics
• statistics on final energy consumption by
various non-energy sectors
• selected statistics reflecting the main
characteristics and activities on various
energy users (such as value added)
Questions
The Oslo group is invited to
• provide comments on the general structure
and the suggested concepts and definitions
• indicate topics which, in your view, should
be added or dropped
• other
