E&P Terms and Above-Ground Risk in Practice

In order to negotiate with a prospective partner, a multinational energy, fuels, and power company needed to understand the level of prior offshore experience being required by host governments. The company used E&P Terms and Above-Ground Risk to compile a report that indicated clearly which countries required prior offshore drilling experience and which ones didn’t—as well as the specific requirements in each case.

The business development manager of a large petroleum company asked to meet with one of our analysts to get further advice on a country in which his company has a particular investment interest. During the meeting the manager noted that the company relies heavily on E&P Terms and Above-Ground Risk to gather all the initial information it needs to make the investment decision, without having to engage third parties for this service.

An E&P company was preparing an investment presentation in which it wanted to show how Brazilian terms compared to those of other countries. The company used E&P Terms and Above-Ground Risk to gather all the necessary information.

A client in a large E&P firm explained that the company uses E&P Terms and Above-Ground Risk during the initial stage (screening/ preparation/ pre-negotiation) of the investment process because its new ventures and legal teams prefer to conduct assessments without alerting the potential investment recipient and any related company
