PETROLEUM RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Oil and Gas Reserves Committee, made up of international oil and gas experts, partners with several industry related societies to provide publicly available resources for the consistent definition and estimation of hydrocarbon resources, including the Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS) and the PRMS Application Guidelines, as well as a map to other systems and standards for reserves estimating and auditing.
The Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) is a system developed for consistent and reliable definition, classification, and estimation of hydrocarbon resources. It is widely used for the preparation of oil and gas resource evaluations in many nations around the world.
