Senior staff members regularly present courses to a wide range of groups involved in the oil and gas industry. These groups include oil and gas companies, educational institutions, professional societies, banks, investment analysts, and legal and accounting firms. Sproule course manuals are widely recognized as the industry's authoritative handbooks on the subject.

Our course titled "Evaluation of Oil and Gas Properties" describes the process of estimating reserves, preparing production forecasts, scheduling future product prices, and forecasting capital and operating costs, including royalty expenses and applicable taxes. All of these are used in preparing cash flow projections, which are discounted to determine net present values. This course outlines the many profitability indices used in making decisions in the oil and gas industry.

Our course titled "Introduction to Coalbed Methane" is designed to help attendees assess CBM exploration and development opportunities. Reservoir engineering in coal deposits and the basics of enhanced CBM recovery are covered.
