InSite Petroleum Consultants

What InSite Petroleum Consultants does

InSite Petroleum Consultants Ltd. is a privately held Calgary-based professional services firm providing independent engineering, geological, technical, and advisory services to the oil and gas industry. The firm specializes in corporate reserve and resource evaluations compliant with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 and SEC disclosure standards, alongside reservoir and exploitation studies, geological/petrophysical/geophysical studies and audits, prospect risk assessments, M&A and divestiture evaluations, regulatory applications, unitization negotiations, expert witness testimony, and budget/reconciliation reports. It serves a horizontal client base ranging from junior to senior oil and gas producers in Canada and internationally, with prior engagements cited in Pakistan.

The firm's core technology asset is the Entero Mosaic Evaluation software suite, a reserve management and economics platform originally developed by predecessor Paddock Lindstrom & Associates (PLA, established 1990) that has evolved into a widely adopted tool across producing companies and major consulting firms. The firm also internally prepares quarterly oil, gas and product price forecasts, distributed in PDF, XLS, XML, Word, ValNav and Mosaic formats, which are used in reserve appraisals and embedded into standard industry software stacks.

InSite generates revenue through bespoke, project-based professional services engagements, supplemented by its recurring price-forecast product. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is tailored to client scope. The firm employs 11–50 people, led by President & Managing Director Peter Hadala, P.Eng., and Managing Director Radu Afilipoaei, P.Eng., each with over two decades of reservoir engineering experience. Distribution is direct enterprise engagement; marketing channels are limited to an RSS feed and direct email contact, consistent with a boutique, relationship-driven consulting model.
