The register keeps changing after the book is fixed in print. Each entry below was added to this row in the order shown.
RETRIEVED BECAUSE A MECHANICAL CHECK REFUSED THE DISCLOSURE THAT THEY WERE NOT HELD. The corrected paragraph said the intervening editions were not on my desk, and check_regressions raised it as a D-051 bar: a route this process could execute and has not is a bar on printing. The route was the journal's own free survey-downloads archive and it took four minutes. NOBODY HAD LOOKED FOR IT. READ AT 600 DPI CROPS OF THE MIDDLE EAST BLOCK, NOT AT THE TEXT LAYER, because column drift on this table is the established hazard: the retired figure row FIG-09-005 records a plain extraction of the 2025 edition printing Saudi Arabia's value against Syria's label [CORRECTED 11 SEPTEMBER 2026, batch C diff review F9-6: this clause read 'SRC-384 records…', and SRC-384 is the World Bank flaring dataset; the cross-reference was wrong and is struck]. Positional extraction and the render agree here. THE 5 DECEMBER 2022 EDITION, columns Jan. 1 2023 and Jan. 1 2022: Syria 2,500,000 thousand barrels and 8,500 bcf at BOTH dates. THE 4 DECEMBER 2023 EDITION, columns Jan. 1 2024 and Jan. 1 2023: Syria 2,500,000 and 8,500 at BOTH dates. SO THE CARRY-FORWARD IS NOW CONTINUOUS AND HAS NO GAP. Combined with the two editions already held, the same 2,500,000 and 8,500 stand at SIX CONSECUTIVE AS-AT DATES, 1 January 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, read across FOUR EDITIONS: December 2021, December 2022, December 2023 and November 2025. There is no unread as-at date in the run. THIS SUPERSEDES THE CH9-B06 CORRECTION AS FIRST WRITTEN, which said four as-at dates in two editions with the rest unread; that was true when written and the retrieval overtook it inside the same pass. THE DECEMBER 2024 EDITION IS STILL NOT HELD and is not needed: its two as-at dates, 1 January 2025 and 1 January 2024, are both covered by editions that are. A COLLATERAL CONFIRMATION OF THE COLUMN-DRIFT DIAGNOSIS: Saudi Arabia stands at 267,192,000 at 1 January 2023 and 2024 in these editions, against the 267,200,000 that a plain extraction of the November 2025 page prints against Syria's label. NOT READ: the rest of either page beyond the Middle East block, and the accompanying articles for either year.
D-304/D-307 series corrections (09), 18 October 2026: READING OF 18 OCTOBER 2026 (D-307, OO-1 and OO-14). The run of six as-at dates this row records is extended backwards by the journal's archive editions retrieved on 16 October 2026 and re-read on 18 October 2026, now recorded at SRC-788: Syria 2,500,000 thousand barrels at every 1 January from 1995 to 2020, so 1995 to 2026 with no unread as-at date. The oil column's footnote changed under the figure (none before December 2016; crude oil, lease condensate and oil sands in December 2016 and 2017; natural gas liquids added from December 2018). Chapter 9 v40 l.23 prints the run and the change, dated as read on 16 October 2026, after this book's closing date. The 'two editions already held' this row combines with are the issue of 6 December 2021 (held under the filename research/CH9_OILGAS_OGJ_wwrp_2023.pdf, which OILRES-001, GASRES-001 and FIG-09-003 had called 'the 2023 edition') and the November-December 2025 table. This row's 'THE DECEMBER 2024 EDITION IS STILL NOT HELD' is left for the D-305 closing pass (OO-17).
18 October 2026 (RETEST_07_09 RT09-1, the same clause in this row's append of 18 October 2026): '(none before December 2016; ...)' means that no edition read before December 2016 prints a footnote stating which liquids the oil column includes. The tables for 1 January 1996 and 1995 to 1 January 2002 and 2001 print an EDITOR'S NOTE defining the reserve category, 'reported as proved reserves recoverable with present technology and prices' (SRC-788). Chapter 9 v41 l.23 prints the narrower form. For 'Chapter 9 v40 l.23' above read 'Chapter 9 v41 l.23'.
18 October 2026 (closing pass 2, D-315; unit CL2-D) (OO-17, HELD.md): THE DECEMBER 2024 EDITION IS NOW HELD AND READ. The struck wording, quoted so it cannot return: 'THE DECEMBER 2024 EDITION IS STILL NOT HELD and is not needed'. research/PART12_RECHECK_2026-10-16/ogj/ogj_wwrp_2024-12-09.pdf (image-only, retrieved 16 October 2026 from the journal's survey-downloads pages, SHA-256 ecbb33e137b3…7614), read at the render research/CLOSING2_HELD_2026-10-18/ogj/ogj2024_p2_110dpi.png (re-read by unit CL2-D 18 October 2026): header 'ESTIMATED PROVED RESERVES ... Jan. 1, 2025 ... Jan. 1, 2024 ... Oil,1 1,000 bbl ... Gas, bcf'; row 'Syria 2,500,000 8,500 2,500,000 8,500 104 4% 100'; footnote '1: Includes crude oil, lease condensate, natural gas liquids, and oil sands.'; footer 'Oil & Gas Journal | DEC 2024 15'. Chapter 9 l.17's four editions stay as printed (OILRES-001's bar on counts of editions stands); no prose change. LABEL LIFTED for Chapter 9 l.23: the reading is dated on or before the closing date of 18 October 2026 (D-315 item 1), so the prose keeps the reading date and drops 'after this book's closing date' (LABELS.md class A).
