As a response to the reserves problem in our industry, several significant societies including AAPG, SPE, WPC and SPEE have established a committee (JCORET) to develop a training program for Petroleum Reserves Evaluators. Beginning in April, 2004 members from various societies have been evaluating the reserves problem. In July, 2006 the four (4) societies met and agreed to establish a committee to undertake the assignment of establishing a reserves training curriculum, in modular form, to offer to geoscientists and engineers around the world. These societies are leading this initiative because the societies have a number of international members involved in Reserves Estimation and Reporting, the AAPG and SPE are the largest geoscience and engineering organizations in the world and all four (4) societies recognize the need for better practices and standards in reserves estimation and reporting. This paper will provide an update on the progress of this committee including a definition of the modules that have been approved, those that are under preparation and those that are completed at the time of the AAPG 2007 meeting. The modules currently under consideration include: definitions, ethics, geology, engineering, geocellular modeling, petrophysics and computer mapping.
