Equity Sales & Purchase

Our work in this area has included us acting for buyers and sellers of assets. We have been involved in a variety of transactions including privatisations, limited equity farm-outs, farm-ins and the identification and valuation of targets for acquisition. Our primary role in these transactions has been that of providing technical support though we have increasingly been called on to provide commercial support.

Project Experience

The projects below have required deployment of Equity Sales and Purchase skill set: 


Independent Reserves Determination, Field Development Plan and Valuation - Ultra Deep Water License

Developed an independent reserves assessment for four newly discovered fields in this ultra deep water license area in Nigeria in conformance with the PRMS standard. Carried out full seismic interpretation, prepared a reservoir assessment and production profiles, developed outline field development plans and also conducted a full development and operating cost assessment using our NETCO$TER cost Evaluation Software.

The discoveries are located in ultra deep water depths and required the use of innovative productions solutions in the development scheme.  Based on the commercial terms associated with the acreage and the technical and cost assessment described above developed an independent valuation of the discoveries.Also carried out a full prospectivity assessment of the acreage based on recently acquired 3D seismic data. The work was conducted as part of a farm-out process which is now complete. The Client disposed of a major portion of his 100% holding in the Block.   


Asset Acquisition Support - 4 Onshore Fields

Assisted a Client looking to acquire a share in of a number of assets in western Kazakhstan, in the Pre-Caspian Basin and the Mangyshlak.
