Refers to all Petroleum Hydrocarbons currently present in Petroleum Reservoir.
It comprises Oil In Place (OIP) and Gas In Place (GIP).
The volumetric value of Hydrocarbon In Place (HCIP) in NTP conditions is given by STHCIP represented by two numbers: { Stock-Tank Oil In-Place (STOIP) , Stock-Tank Gas In-Place (STGIP) }
The changes in volume and structure of HCIP over time can be caused by production from a given petroleum reservoir or because of the hydrocarbons migration caused by production at offset hydrodynamically connected petroleum reservoirs.
For the initial volume and distribution of Petroleum Hydrocarbons existed before the anthropogenic invasion refer to Hydrocarbon Initial In Place (HCIIP).
The concepts of Hydrocarbon In Place (HCIP) and Hydrocarbon Initial In Place (HCIIP) are equivalent before the anthropogenic invasion.
