What did you REALLY acquire in that roll-up/acquisition?

ACQUISITIONS, mergers and roll-ups present unique challenges to the purchaser. Assistance to the client in this hectic period includes:

ASSIST AND FACILITATE THE ASSIMILATION PROCESS

OFTEN the technical data for newly acquired properties is minimal or non-existent. Databases must be assembled while the holdings are assimilated. Forced pooling, hearings and AFEs do not wait for the transition process. In-house personnel are often already lean and over-committed. Services provided:

• Due diligence
• Data acquisition
• Prioritization of the “investigation” process
• Handling unexpected AFE, pooling and hearing emergencies

• FINDING THE “HIDDEN JEWELS” IN THE BOTTOM 80%

• MOST acquisitions are predicated upon the “Parato Principle” (20% of the properties represent 80% of the purchase price). Frequently, the little-known property becomes an important mainstay of the property portfolio after infill drilling, recompletion or new activity in the area. A systematic approach to studying and assessing the acquisitions may substantially add new reserves and value to the client’s holdings. The client is now positioned to initiate and direct the necessary actions to realize the economic potential of new opportunities. Services to assist in this effort span a broad range, including:

• Investigation of recent activity
• Geologic mapping
• Field studies
• Behind pipe studies
• Reserve analysis
• Prospect generation
• Sales package preparation
