Texas Gulf Coast Yegua Prospect
Sponsor was offering a single-well project in the Texas gulf coast. Estimated ROI was 5X-10X over a ten-year period based off initial production of 300 BBL/D.
After reviewing online production data, the last well to achieve that level of production was completed over 25 years ago.
Outcome: Client avoided a likely unprofitable investment.
Real Deals We've Analyzed
Powder River Basin Unconventional
Sponsor offered working interest in six wells operated by EOG and Peak Powder River for ~2.6MM. Claimed management fee per sponsor was 6%.
This group of wells had been evaluated by management and actual cost was ~1.3MM.
Outcome: Client avoided investing in a project with 100% mark-up.
Wyoming Turner Well
Sponsor's projected EUR: 850,000 BOE
Our revised EUR using offset wells: 520,000 BOE
The sponsor's forecast was inflated by 63%. Based on nearby well performance, this deal would have taken years longer to pay back than promised.
Outcome: Client avoided a likely unprofitable investment.
Real Deals We've Analyzed
ND Bakken WI Acquisition
Sponsor estimated payout: 10-12 months
Our analysis showed realistic payout: 24-30 months
The sponsor drastically underestimated decline rates and operating costs. The real payout would have been more than double their projection.
Outcome: Client renegotiated from 12% WI to 7% WI, protecting their downside.
