During
the past few years, DeGolyer and MacNaughton has built a significant presence in
Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. In fact, D&M is arguably the
current leader in reserves and resources evaluations in this sector of the
world. Throughout our recent evaluations of hundreds of fields in Russia
and multiple fields in Poland, Kazakhstan, the Ukraine, and other countries, the
Central Europe/Asia Division of D&M
has developed experience and expertise that has proven valuable to the most
influential companies in Russia and the CIS. These evaluations range
from major studies of large, mature fields to probabilistic assessments of
entire portfolios of undrilled prospects. Our ability to adapt the Russian methods
to western petroleum technology and interact closely with international financial institutions
has been very beneficial to our clients. To enhance our presence
in the area, D&M has established a branch office in Moscow to facilitate our
efforts in Russia and Eastern Europe.
