This course summarizes the “Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) classification system. PRMS guidelines are compared to SEC reserves reporting rules which, at the option of the audience, are also covered in significant depth. The course also emphasizes guidelines for unconventional (low permeability) resources, which are underemphasized in the original (2007) PRMS document but have received more detailed coverage in the updated Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) in a recent section on Reserves Other Than Resources (ROTR).
