Asset Evaluation & Due Diligence
Independent technical views for transactions and investment decisions.
The cost of waiting
What this looks like, with and without the right support
A transaction decision is made on the seller’s numbers alone, with no independent technical check.
Technical due diligence gives you an independent read on the asset before capital changes hands.
An asset’s real condition only becomes clear after the deal closes, when it’s too late to reprice it.
Asset health checks and benchmarking surface the real condition before the deal closes, while it can still shape terms.
Late-life and decommissioning liability gets underestimated, turning into an expensive surprise years later.
Late-life and decommissioning strategy puts a realistic number on that liability up front, not after it’s already yours.
Our approach
How this engagement actually runs
Technical due diligence (A&D) starts with an independent, technically grounded review of the asset being considered — production history, reserves, well and facility condition, development upside — built to stand apart from the seller’s own representation, because the whole point of due diligence is a second, independent opinion.
Asset health checks and benchmarking compare the target against realistic operating and technical standards, surfacing issues — deferred maintenance, integrity concerns, underperforming wells — that a purely financial review wouldn’t catch, while there’s still time for those findings to shape price or terms.
Where the asset includes aging infrastructure, late-life and decommissioning strategy puts a realistic, evidence-based number on that future liability, so it’s priced into the decision today rather than discovered as a surprise obligation after closing.
Scope of work
What’s included
Technical due diligence (A&D)
An independent technical opinion, separate from the seller’s own representation of the asset.
Asset health checks & benchmarking
Surfaces real condition issues while there’s still time for them to shape price or deal terms.
Opportunity identification
Flags upside the seller’s own data room may not have highlighted, informing what the asset could be worth to you specifically.
Late-life & decommissioning strategy
A realistic liability estimate priced into the decision now, not discovered as a surprise after closing.

Questions
Common questions
How quickly can a technical due diligence review be turned around for a live transaction?
Timelines are scoped against your transaction deadline from the outset — due diligence work is, by nature, time-constrained, and the engagement is structured around the data room access and timeline you’re working with.
What’s typically included in an asset health check?
A review of well performance against type curves or benchmarks, facility and well integrity condition, and operating cost structure compared to realistic peer standards — the technical picture a financial model alone won’t show.
Can you help identify upside the seller’s data room doesn’t highlight?
Yes — opportunity identification is specifically about finding development, optimization or recovery upside that may be underrepresented in how the asset is being marketed, which can meaningfully inform what it’s actually worth to you.
Do you work on both the buy-side and sell-side of a transaction?
Yes, both. Sell-side work typically focuses on building a technically defensible data room and identifying issues before a buyer’s diligence does; buy-side work focuses on independent verification and risk identification.
