4. Overview:
The workshop investigates the classification and
categorization of resources within the SPE-PRMS
system. By the use of particular case studies, the
workshop will highlight the boundaries between class
and category when assessing resources for
management and financial disclosure. The
methodology for assessing hydrocarbons-in-place
and resources is explained and the significance of
uncertainty is described. Both deterministic and
probabilistic approaches to volumetric assessment
are outlined. The engineering toolkit, using static,
decline curve, material balance and reservoir
simulation, is described. The link between economic
valuation and net Reserves and Resources is
explained along with issues relating to aggregation
and reporting of these volumes.
Who should attend:
The workshop is targeted at mid to senior level
engineers, geoscientists and commercial staff
needing to understand better the principles and
practice of reserves and resource reporting.
