Our research begins with the rock — and considers every single data point that's accessible. We go beyond using existing well data to forecast production declines. We correlate every meter of wireline log, every core sample, well test, source rock analysis, and other subsurface datum to produce a geologic mesh of the plays and assets we cover. This means we're better at forecasting how existing production will behave; and when there's no production data to work with, our models can predict what's likely to happen given the set of geologic parameters we've assigned.
We monitor operators just as carefully. Using satellite photos, infrastructure plans, frac water permitting, and any other regulatory filings to track and infer activity. Our activity tracking together with our geologic and financial models allow us to confidently know what's likely to happen, and when. While others wait for hard data and guidance, our clients benefit from having an early, high-confidence view.
Our uncompromisingly asset-first perspective on upstream opportunities is blindingly simple and foundational to our analysis. If there is data that can be considered, it will be considered. That's how we operate and what gives us an edge. Our work then focuses on inventory quality and geological potential across Western Canada, while remaining in tune with the financial markets. Even though we have access to all the same data as our peers, we use it better to stay ahead of the markets and deliver more accurate, more careful analysis of what's happening across Canada's upstream sector.
