Origination
We work on behalf of our clients to propose investment ideas in the Private Oil Company sphere. Through our many connections to Corporate and Asset Brokers we often come across interesting companies seeking funding for exploration and production ideas (we invite such companies to contact us directly). We also work with a number of listed E&P’s to generate M&A ideas, typically at the smaller end of the AIM market.
Analysis
Typically our work will involve a detailed analysis of asset values on which to agree a valuation with the private oil company for the purposes of investment. We will generate forward cash flows under various scenarios to identify likely exit values for our clients before investing into the private companies. In many cases we have a CPR to analyse and use this as the basis for our valuation.
Experience
We have worked on several projects including companies with assets in the North Sea and Nigeria. This is the fastest growing area of business for us as capital shifts into the private arena making it less of an imperative for companies to go for a public listing if they have a number of well informed and well funded backers (that we are connected to).
