Founded in 1937, Ryder Scott Petroleum Consultants is one of the largest and oldest reservoir-evaluation consulting firms. The firm performs several hundred consulting studies a year. Ryder Scott has earned worldwide recognition for reliably predicting the performance of complex oil and gas reservoirs in all major petroleum provinces. With 66 professional petroleum engineers and geoscientists, the firm conducts reserves evaluations, geoscience/geology studies, field development and EOR design, reservoir simulation, economic analysis, management consulting and expert witness testimony. The Houston-based firm has branch offices in Calgary and Denver.
Ryder Scott is the most widely used consulting firm for preparing annual reserves certifications for filers with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to researcher John S. Herold. Ryder Scott also serves clients listed on other stock exchanges.
The firm issues reserves certifications considered to be highly reliable by investors. The independent report mitigates risks in committing capital for E&P projects. Bankers establish reserves-based loan amounts, monitor credit lines and determine guarantees based on report values. The report also serves as a resource in screening and due-diligence reviews of acquisitions, divestitures and mergers. Ryder Scott landmark projects include the1997 evaluation of the Elk Hills field. The subsequent sale became the largest federal divestiture in U.S. history. Two years later, Ryder Scott certified the reserves for privatizations of China National Offshore Oil Corp. and Sinopec. Ryder Scott also performed a countrywide evaluation of the gas supplies of Trinidad and Tobago. In 2001, Ryder Scott prepared development plans and economic models for the second largest oil producer in Russia. In the Middle East, Ryder Scott provided management advisory services related to the largest offshore oil field in the world. In 2003, Ryder Scott audited two companies for BP for a merger that became the largest direct investment in Russia in the post-Soviet era. This year's projects included SEC compliance work for Royal Dutch Shell and El Paso Corp. |
