Succeeding in oil and gas development comes down to how well and how quickly you can analyze potential opportunities. Once a month, XI Technologies will apply its evaluation tools to a currently available asset to give readers a sense of the opportunities available and how they can be evaluated for A&D purposes.
Potential Buyers
An important thing to do when evaluating a potential land acquisition is to look at who the most likely bidders for the asset would be. The first thing to check for is who has a core interest in the area by running a quick search in the AssetBook. By expanding the area, we can see there are about 74 companies with interest in this area. Here is a map of the top ten companies wells and land in this area:

Asset Liabilities
One of the most important parts of A&D research is to look at the liabilities carried by the asset. The listing has only land, but looking at XI’s calculated LLR report, all companies in the area are in a good position for a purchase, as all are above the 2.0 required by the government to transfer these assets. If you would like a demo of AssetBook’s LLR module, please contact XI.
These are just a few quick ways to do A&D prospecting, using a real-world example that is currently available for purchase. If you’d like to learn more about how XI’s AssetSuite can analyze potential acquisitions, contact XI Technologies.
