    This module will review the major SEC definitions and will identify major contrasts with PRMS.

    The SEC issued its latest definitions to be used as the basis for reserves filings in late 2008. These definitions are broadly similar to the definitions presented in the SPE Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS), but differ in significant ways in a few instances. This module will review the major SEC definitions and will identify major contrasts with PRMS.

    This module will summarize major SEC reporting requirements.

    As part of its reserves modernization effort in 2008, the SEC issued new requirements for reporting reserves in filings with the Commission. These reserves reporting requirements have no parallel in either PRMS or in pre-2008 SEC regulations. This module will summarize major SEC reporting requirements.

    The SEC staff issued guidance in 2009 and in 2013, and we will explain the guidance in this module.

    The SEC has issued guidance intended to clarify reserves definitions and reporting requirements in documents it calls "Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations," or C&DI. The SEC staff issued guidance in 2009 and in 2013, and we will explain the guidance in this module.

    This module will present highlights of recent SEC staff presentations and of issues raised in comment letters.

    No formal guidance on reserves definitions or reporting requirements has been issued by the SEC since 2013, and the majority of that guidance was actually provided in October 2009. Reserves filers have come to depend on public presentations by SEC staff members and on exchanges of "comment letters" issued by staff members in which the staff often identifies issues of current concern. Portions of these letter exchanges between staff and reserves filers are made available to the public. This module will present highlights of recent SEC staff presentations and of issues raised in comment letters.
