Oil and Gas Resource Size Estimation

March 8, 2026

Improve your resource size estimation workflows by integrating high-quality data, specialized software modules, and proven methods that streamline complex calculations and validation.

Enable your geoscience and reservoir teams to generate original oil in place (OOIP) and original gas in place (OGIP) resources more accurately and efficiently, compare results across multiple methods, and make decisions with greater confidence and speed.

How We Deliver Value 

Comprehensive Workflow Coverage

Four proven methods—Volumetric Analysis, Material Balance Analysis, Decline Curve Analysis, and Vetting Against Board Reported Reserves—ensure robust and credible resource estimates. This cross-validates results, increasing confidence in data that supports investment decisions.

Integrated Data & Tools

Production data, static pressure data, logs, and regulatory reserves are fully integrated in a unified platform. By leveraging geoSCOUT’s Volumetrics, Production Analysis, Surfer Contouring, and LAS/Raster Logs, users are assured of data quality and can focus on analysis.

Specialized Modules

geoSCOUT modules streamline calculations and visualization. These modules are designed to handle complex workflows, automate calculations, and provide clear outputs for both technical and business stakeholders.

Quality-Controlled Regulatory Data

Board-reported reserves are quality-checked and made easily accessible for comparison. All regulatory data from Alberta, B.C., and Saskatchewan is fully vetted within GDC and geoSCOUT, saving users time and reducing the risk of errors from raw public datasets.

Flexible for Different Reservoirs

Solutions are tailored with clear guidance on applicability for reservoirs that are at different stages of development. Material Balance and Decline Curve Analysis are optimized for pools with existing production, while Volumetric Analysis supports early-stage prospecting and development with no (or very little) production data reported.

Core Users

  1. Reservoir or Exploitation Engineers: Asset team members can collaborate to estimate resource size and optimize development strategies.
  2. Geologists: Define reservoir boundaries, analyze formation tops, build contour maps that serve as the top and bottom surfaces of the volumetric container, and contribute to volumetric and material balance workflows.
  3. Petrophysicists: Calculate net pay thickness, porosity, and water saturation using LAS/Raster logs.
  4. Engineering Consulting Firms & Independent Consultants: Support operators with expert resource estimation and workflow implementation.
