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.

Extending PHDwin’s Value with Analytics for Energy (A4E) Suite from Blue River Analytics
At PHDwin, our goal has always been to empower energy professionals with the most robust and reliable reserves and economic platform in the industry. With Version 3, we’ve delivered a state-of-the-art system of record trusted by small and large operators alike. Now, we’re taking that value one step further through an exciting integration with Blue River Analytics and their Analytics for Energy (A4E) Suite—bringing advanced analytics, powerful data visualizations, and cutting-edge forecasting to the PHDwin community.
Spotfire Collaboration
We first connected with Blue River Analytics in 2024 and our conversation with their team revealed a natural opportunity for synergy. While PHDwin V3 excels at providing a world-class environment for reserves and economic evaluations, Blue River’s A4E Suite complements that strength with sophisticated analytics on TIBCO Spotfire. By integrating directly with PHDwin’s backend database, the A4E Suite enables high-level statistical exploration, scenario-based forecasting, and deep “what-if” analysis—all without duplicating data or relying on clunky workarounds
Key Benefits of the PHDwin + A4E Integration
- Closed-Loop Workflow: Export data from PHDwin to Spotfire, perform advanced analytics, and seamlessly bring refined insights back into PHDwin.
- MCMC Auto-Forecasting: Go beyond traditional decline-curve methods with Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations, reducing bias and improving accuracy.
- Well-Spacing and Economic Dashboards: Leverage Spotfire’s rich visualization to optimize field development plans and run flexible economic analyses
- Efficient A&D Evaluations: Evaluate acquisitions and divestitures at lightning speed with built-in screening tools that deliver rapid, data-driven decisions
Unique Benefits for PHDwin Users
Expanded Analytical Depth
By integrating with the A4E Suite, PHDwin users can tap into advanced statistical models that traditionally require separate tools (e.g., Excel or custom scripts). This unified approach streamlines workflows and enhances data integrity, giving engineers and asset teams more time to focus on strategic planning
Experience True and Tested Methods Verified by Real-World Success
Companies like MCM Energy have already experienced significant time savings by eliminating the back-and-forth between PHDwin, spreadsheets, and other applications. With the A4E Suite, they now handle type-curve generation, well-spacing, and probabilistic forecasting in a single environment, then seamlessly update their PHDwin records without
Designed for SMB
Many small and mid-size operators (1–500 employees) are resource-constrained, with engineers doubling as business intelligence developers. The PHDwin + A4E integration cuts down on these pain points, automating complex processes and enabling your team to focus on high-value tasks
Standing Apart in a Crowded Market
As the energy sector becomes more data-driven, multiple products claim to handle forecasting, economic modeling, or analytics. However, no other platform offers the same level of closed-loop. integration between a leading reserves system of record and a powerful analytics engine:
- Deep Interoperability: Direct database connections, so users spend less time wrestling with data exports/imports.
- What-If Flexibility: Quickly model alternate price decks, well-spacing scenarios, or advanced decline curves, then revert to PHDwin’s core system for updated economics.
- Scalable Subscription Model: Both PHDwin and Blue River Analytics operate on subscription-based pricing, making it easier to budget, receive ongoing updates, and scale as your team grows.
