Technology has allowed producers to achieve high production rates but that has led to high decline rates. Those claiming that technology increases ultimate recovery appear to be basing that claim on oil reserves data in <a href=\"http:\/\/ogj.pennnet.com\/home.cfm?si=ogj\">Oil &amp; Gas Journal<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldoil.com\/\">World Oil<\/a>. Reserves data are seriously flawed due to exaggeration of reserves, lack of updating for reserves figures, lack of a universally recognized definition for reserves and lack of independent verification.
