Challenges:

A client was considering investing in a company that provides natural gas compressors to an area supplied by Cardium and Spirit River natural gas

The client required information regarding the economic viability of future development in the area before making a major investment decision

Solutions:

Experts identified the undeveloped potential in each formation and estimated the production profiles for future wells

The economic viability, including break-even analysis, of future development was assessed

Using a base production forecast plus expected future drilling, Sproule ERCE created a forecast of the drilling activity required to keep the compressors operating at capacity

The forecast was then compared with historical drilling activity to provide insight as to the likelihood of this development pace being achieved

Values:

The supply study provided the client with the necessary analysis and insights to make a more informed investment decision

The client was able to compare the analysis of an independent third party to information provided by producers in the area, and was able to determine that there was enough future production potential to justify the investment
