Mapping new horizons for the estimation and reporting of reserves

The value of any company is measured by its assets. For oil companies their assets are their oil reserves. The industry has seen over the last decade the importance of accurately estimating your reserves. Overestimations – or underestimations for that matter- can be fatal for smaller E+Ps who can be wiped out by a sudden share price crash. In 2004, even a giant such as Shell suffered financial losses and reputational damage after listing their reserves 20% higher than was actually the case.

In preparation for Global Reserves Summit 2012, Oil and Gas iQ is running a short survey to assess the current trends and challenges oil and gas operators are facing in regards to their global reserves.

For this special 10th iteration of our prestigious Global Reserves Summit we will be focusing our attention on these critical challenges:

  • Rewriting the rule book: The impact of changes to SEC and SPE guidelines and how they are adopted by sovereign regulatory bodies
  • The Three Ps: Proven, Probable and Possible – what they mean and how to get there
  • Discourse on Methodology: The advantages and disadvantages related to reservoir simulation, material balance and decline curve analysis – as well as knowing what methodology to use and when
  • Probabilistic vs. Deterministic: The strengths and weaknesses of each approach, including how the Monte Carlo method can enable you to reach a set of aggregated reserves results
