Kimberly Ayers
P.E. & Ayers Petroleum Consulting
I’m Kimberly Ayers, founder and reservoir engineering consultant at Ayers Petroleum Consulting. As a third-generation oil and gas professional, I grew up immersed in the industry, working alongside my grandmother and father. This early exposure fueled my passion for petroleum engineering, leading me to pursue an MSc in Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineering from West Virginia University. In 2017, I founded Ayers Petroleum Consulting to provide specialized services to small and mid-sized companies in the Appalachian Basin.
Our firm focuses on subsurface consulting, asset evaluations, production optimization, and mineral appraisals, leveraging deep regional expertise to empower clients with strategic insights. By combining data analytics, reservoir engineering, and industry-leading software, we help operators maximize asset value and drive informed decision-making.
Experience with PHDwin
One of the key benefits we've seen since adopting PHDwin is how much more structured and controlled our data is. This improved data organization has allowed us to streamline our workflows and, most notably, has increased the efficiency of generating reports. By standardizing the data extraction process, we’ve reduced time spent on manual tasks and can focus more on delivering insights to our clients.
Ayers Petroleum Unique Perspective on the Current Reserves Landscape
The shift toward data-driven analytics in reserves management has fundamentally changed the way we approach forecasting and decision-making. At Ayers Petroleum Consulting, we’ve responded to this trend by providing a higher level of QA/QC and data exploration in every report. This not only ensures accuracy and reliability but also gives
us the flexibility to offer deeper insights. A key part of this process is exporting our results to companion software platforms like Spotfire. Using PHDwin's V3Connect format, we can overlay Spotfire dashboards directly on top of our projects, which streamlines the analytics process and allows us to generate and output the necessary visuals efficiently.
