Economic and commercial analysis is integral to every development project, vital to arriving at the best development strategy. Depending on a client’s needs, our specialists can also assist in helping ensure sustainable investment decisions are made.
We evaluate all economic opportunities and determine or audit reserves. Our clients receive a full valuation of individual assets, a group of assets, a company or portfolio in preparation for an IPO, M&A or third-party valuation.
We also perform an economic evaluation as part of our own studies to rank alternatives and determine whether a certain project can be defined as commercial. Economic evaluation is an integrated part of our Competent Person’s Reports (CPR) to determine commercial recoverable resources and field economic cut-off to define reserves.
Our work ranges from cash flow calculations to complex analysis involving tax, PSA, royalties and more. All inputs to the cash flow calculation can be evaluated and estimated from our internal project teams including CAPEX, OPEX, drilling cost, abandonment cost and production profiles. The evaluations can be performed before or including tax.
We possess our own software and technologies to support these services, but are also comfortable working with our client’s technology and models if required.
