Project Highlights
- Assessed complex geology with varying thermal maturity
- Included 1,200 development locations
- Supported investment decision with Sproule ERCE type curve analysis
- Mitigated risk with portfolio diversification
Challenges:
The client needed to assess the viability of investing in high-value acreage with complex geology and varying thermal maturity throughout the play
Inconsistent public reporting of production data throughout the play made it even more difficult to assess the upside opportunity of the reservoir
The early stage of development meant the opportunity still required large infrastructure costs

Solutions:
Sproule ERCE experts reviewed the seller’s geologic interpretation of the play, well completion history and production history, and created a type curve for future development within each thermal maturity window
Technical consultants estimated improvements on economics parameters for full-scale development, which were applied to the type curves, and created cashflows for future development scenarios
Changing completion designs made it difficult to create type curves for future production in the region. Sproule ERCE had to rely on its extensive experience in the play and multi-variant analysis to supplement the available data
