The Petroleum Resources Management System used to classify oil and gas reserves.

The Petroleum Resources Management System is a globally recognized framework for classifying and reporting hydrocarbon resources. It provides consistent guidelines for evaluating whether discovered oil and gas volumes are reserves, contingent resources, or prospective resources. Geologists and reservoir engineers rely on PRMS standards to report asset values to investors and regulators.
