ASSET LEVEL IMPLEMENTATION

GUIDANCE

  • Asset quality (geology, acreage, historic performance, upside)
  • Characteristics to look for: conventional / unconventional (plus vs. minus)
  • Economics (well and asset level – do assets fit company financial picture?)

ACTUAL

  • TARGETED OBJECTIVES: Gas vs. Oil, PDP vs. Undrilled, Acreage Continuity, Proximity to Current Ops
  • ASSET QUALITY: Basin, Reservoir, Acreage
  • HISTORIC PERFORMANCE: Type Curve Generation, Sample Selection Criteria, Pitfalls
  • CHARACTERISTICS: Economics, Breakeven Costs, D&C, Transportation, Processing, Basis Differentials, SWD

TARGETED OBJECTIVES

TARGETED OBJECTIVES: What is the company looking for and why?

  • Gas vs. Oil
  • Most companies have a preference on oil or gas focused reservoirs
  • If they want gas assets, should it be wet gas or dry gas?
  • What type of NGL yield are they looking for?
  • Is there infrastructure in place?
  • PDP vs. Undrilled
  • When acquiring an asset, many focus on the upside potential
  • How much of the acreage is undeveloped?
  • What does the production decline look like for PDP assets?
  • Acreage Continuity
  • Is the acreage continuous or broken up in many different sections?
  • Broken up acreage can result in fewer new drill opportunities
  • Proximity to Current Ops
  • Does the asset fit the company profile?
  • Will they have to enter into a new basin?
  • What are the costs of starting somewhere new?

  • There is a clear trend of

improved performance YOY starting in 2010

  • Production improvements

mainly attributed to increased IP

  • The number of wells drilled per

year also increase every year starting in 2010

  • Wells perform consistently in the

three counties operated

  • 2014-2016 type curve represents

76% of Operator’s total active horizontal wells in Permian

  • SPEE defines the minimum sample size of analogue wells to sufficiently validate,

within 90% confidence, the P90, P50 and P10 distribution curves.

  • When a sufficient sample of analogue wells is used, the degree of confidence in

achieving the statistical performance is high.

  • A sufficient sample of analogue wells must be used to have a valid distribution. SPEE

recommends 75-100 wells for P10/90 ratio of 5-6 (low variability).
