Oil and Gas Reserves Evaluation - OGR |
Discipline: Reservoir Engineering
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 5 days
Instructor(s): Iskander Diyashev, Rodney (Rod) Sidle |
Key objectives of this course are to learn various compliant methods of preparing reserves estimates, learn to estimate and understand the impact of economics on those estimates, and properly classify those reserves using the current reserves definitions. Recent case studies, SEC audit questions, and class problems are used extensively to develop an understanding of those skills and include ethical issues that arise when calculating and reporting reserves. One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants.
"I like how everything was clear and organized! Also how the instructor was so helpful and ready to answer any question and explain any un-understood topic." - Participant, Kuwait
"I liked the entire program, particularly the bidding exercise." - Participant, Nigeria

Dr. Diyashev was responsible for the planning of field development, reserves evaluation and addition, planning of exploration activities, as well as engineering and technology. In 2001-2006 Dr. Diyashev served as a Chief Engineer for Sibneft, one of the largest integrated oil companies in Russia with a daily production of 700,000 BOPD.
During his career, Dr. Diyashev worked in R&D, consulting, and the service and production sides of the business both in Russia and internationally. Prior to his work with Sibneft, Dr. Diyashev was one of the key Schlumberger specialists to start the horizontal drilling project in Noyabrsk Western Siberia. He holds a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University, and advanced degrees in Physics and Mathematics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. He has authored 30 technical papers. Dr. Diyashev is a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and served on the Board of Directors of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE International), and on the boards of various private E&P, service and engineering firms in the petroleum industry. Twice in his career Dr. Diyashev was elected to serve as a Distinguished Lecturer of the SPE, in 2005-06, and in 2017-18.
MR. ROD SIDLE has worked in the upstream petroleum industry for 40 years including 35 years before retiring from Shell Oil/Royal Dutch Shell. He has also worked for both large (Oxy) and smaller (Sheridan Production) independent producers. His position as Reserves Manager/Director in each of these companies developed the knowledge he draws from to instruct on Reserves Estimation and Reporting. He has delivered in-house Reserves instruction courses for Shell and Oxy as well as being a course instructor/lecturer on Reserves and Economics at Texas A&M University for two years. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE). He has been a past member of the SPE Oil and Gas Reserves Committee and currently serves on the SPEE Reserves Definition Committee. Other society service includes as an SPE Distinguished Lecturer and on the SPEE Board of Directors. He has co-authored and presented several SPE technical papers on Reserve Estimation topics with two published in the SPE Economics and Management Journal. He received a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Akron.
