Gaffney, Cline & Associates

Gaffney, Cline & Associates is a petroleum consulting company headquartered in Alton, the United Kingdom, with offices in London, Houston, Buenos Aires, Singapore, Dubai and Sydney.

One of the notable functions of Gaffney Cline, along with similar petroleum industry consultants such as DeGolyer and MacNaughton, Netherland, Sewell, RPS-APA and Ryder Scott, is to provide third party verification and/or valuation of oil and natural gas reserves - typically 1P proven reserves, but also 2P probable reserves and 3P possible reserves - for company annual reports and SEC filing 20-F.[2] In addition to commercial and technical studies in the oil and gas sector, GCA has practice areas in Gas/LNG, Value Assurance and Carbon Management. The GCA carbon management program quantifies carbon intensity of reserves and resources and certifies carbon emission reductions for oil and gas activities.
