Accelerated Unconventional Play Assessment

Increase certainty in resource acquisition and economics

Rapidly and accurately identifying unconventional resource play opportunities is critical to resource acquisition and asset economics. Early entrants typically realize the greatest return on capital, but rushing to invest can be very costly. Even if resources exist in large quantities, factors like local fiscal regime, regulations, supply availability, and infrastructure issues can make development uneconomical.
