Oil and Gas Reserve Reports, the Stock Market and You
Have you ever directly or indirectly invested in stocks or bonds of oil and gas companies? Or have you contributed to an oil and gas reserve report and wondered what happens to it afterward? If so, this presentation may interest you. Statistically, long term stock winners are few and by applying an inversion mindset, it is arguably more important to avoid catastrophes than it is to identify those winners. Above all, as oil and gas professionals, we need to ensure we do not inadvertently allow our technical work to contribute to corporate catastrophes and thereby eroding public confidence and the integrity of our professions.
In this presentation, David Phung reinforces the importance of technical accuracy and professional integrity. Using two related industry case studies and only publicly available data from oil and gas reserve reports, management conference call transcripts and other capital markets information, he demonstrates how our technical work can be unintentionally or intentionally misrepresented, with negative and far-reaching consequences. Although it was originally developed for a technical engineering audience, the subject matter will also be of interest to investors, lenders, regulators and auditors.
Registration closes on Monday, April 27 at 8AM MDT.
