Unitisation and equity determination

澳门玄机图 offers unbiased and independent advice on industry standards for the oil and gas sector. 澳门玄机图 is known for its deep expertise, whether acting as an independent expert during dispute resolution procedures, or providing strategic advisory and technical support services to companies involved in unitisation and redetermination processes.

Over 30 years of experience on field unitisation and redetermination projects

Field unitisation or redetermination projects can be challenging for even the more experienced upstream E&P technical professionals. They differ significantly from other field studies in the intensity with which the results will be scrutinised by competing stakeholders and the degree of interdisciplinary integration required to withstand such critical examination and deliver a safe result that all Parties can accept.聽 This requires specialist knowledge of what is expected, a clear understanding of position and role within process, and how best to approach the work.

澳门玄机图 has been engaged to resolve disputes relating to hydrocarbon ownership on more occasions than any other consulting firm in the world.

Since 1986, we鈥檝e been sharing our expertise聽and experience in pre-unitisation and equity redetermination with large multi-national companies seeking advice to verify that they have developed an optimum techno-commercial model that complies with all the necessary procedures; smaller companies which don't have the expertise and in-house resources to properly protect their own interests; and law firms on preparing process and procedures within operating agreements.

Our teams have deep expertise in delivering projects within oil and gas fields around the world. We have consulted on over 50 unitisation and equity redetermination projects for companies involved in hydrocarbon ownership disputes 鈥� in the North Sea, including UK, Norway, Netherlands, North and South America, North Africa, SE Asia, and Australia. Projects have included technical, commercial and legal issues.
