What We Do Well
Risk Mitigation
No matter what the play, basin, target, or lease position or competitive landscape - we march to our own tune, generally in front and using every tool at our disposal to lower risk, increase upside (and offsets).
Contrarian by Nature
Pays in spades. Do the tough log/petrophysical work, map relevant horizons for any nuances but we generally don't have to follow because we have done the work in advance.
Results speak for themselves
82-88 Early mover in seis/strat and play modelling in the Minnelusa - gross 50MMBO
88-91 Early mover in H Bakken Shale wells in 1989 - 20 with ND record IP
91-93 First to prospect H Middle Bakken in what is now Elm Coulee - 60,000acs
93-98 First to apply very large scale 3D AVO to Sac Basin gas basin - 2nd largest gas producer before exit
98-05 Tech pause to co-develop worlds first tablet (think iPad) and first embedded home control solution. 06- Fast follower to identify key metrics, map sweet spot in Parshall area and lease to exploit
09- First to prospect H targets in the deep geo-pressured PRB - 11,000acs
Engineering catches up eventually....
Current High Yield/ROR Project
Now with 11,000 net acres in a simple infill with contiguous DSU's estimating 40-50 wells @ 4+ wells/DSU. Uphole vertical potential as well. Operations available at attractive terms.
