As you all may be aware, one of the major activities of the Ad hoc Reserves and Resources Committee of the DPA is to support JCORET (Joint Committee on Reserves Evaluator Training). JCORET is sponsored by the AAPG, SPE, SPEE and WPC. These are the same four societies that sponsored and generated PRMS (Petroleum reserves Management System).

JCORET is sponsored by the AAPG, SPE, SPEE and WPC. These are the same four societies that sponsored and generated PRMS (Petroleum reserves Management System).

The members of JCORET from the AAPG/DPA are:

The latest news about JCORET is that the committee now has a website: http://www.JCORET.org/. The website is hosted by the SPE and is also linked to and from each of the four societies mentioned above. You can fine the AAPG link at http:// dpa.aapg.org/.

Please take a minute to go to the website to review the information provided regarding training courses available, FAQ's, to review the authors packet for anyone interested in requesting JCORET to review, for sponsorship, a technical training course or seminar or an ethics course or talk.

JCORET needs your assistance. Mr. Bill Kazmann's term will be over on June 30, 2010. We are looking for a new member to serve on the JCORET Committee starting July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013. The committee meets each quarter and has various short phone conferences throughout the year. We are looking for someone who is willing to serve on the Curriculum committee to review submitted courses for approval by JCORET. Most courses submitted are more in the engineering areas. There are much fewer courses in the geosciences, at least to date.

If you are interested in serving on the four society committee please contact me by - Phone or email. Phone: 713.789.2444. Please give consideration to serving on this very important and exciting committee. It is truly a one of a kind committee. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
