RSK has advised global energy clients, financial sponsors, national oil companies, governments and regulatory agencies on +400 total mandates over the last two decades.  We have delivered valuable insights essential for asset evaluations, strategic transactions, portfolio management and capital needs.

Select Mandates

  • On behalf of a potential buyer, RSK reviewed the sellers’ estimations of remaining oil in place, economic cut-off and NPV of the projected free cash flow by forecasting production curves and economic projections for multiple opportunities.

  • On behalf of an investment bank, RSK performed a macro-economic study forecasting the comparative economics of electric vehicles, (by vehicle type) to internal combustion vehicles over time. The study forecast future EV charging station demand.

  • RSK provided technical services to manage state oil company operator’s exploration work program and M&A program leading to a successful commercial discovery.

  • On behalf of regulator, RSK reviewed the operators’ work programs to the taxable estimate costs for multiple oil and gas projects.

  • On behalf of a major engineering/construction firm, RSK performed a macro-economic study forecasting the comparative economics of electric vehicles, (by vehicle type) to internal combustion vehicles over time. The study forecast future EV charging station demand.

  • On behalf of a potential buyer, RSK reviewed the sellers’ estimations of remaining oil in place, economic cut-off and NPV of the projected free cash flow by forecasting production curves and economic projections for multiple opportunities.

  • On behalf of non-operating working interest in Macondo, RSK performed analysis of the cause of the disaster and whether or not it would be possible for the non-operating working interest holder to foresee the disaster.

  • On behalf of potential buyer, RSK reviewed the sellers’ estimation of remaining gas in place, recoverable gas, economic cut-off and NPV of the projected free cash flow by forecasting the production curves and economic projections along with the evaluation of buyers GOM E&P assets proposed as partial payment for the acquisition.

  • On behalf of a financial institution providing equity and debt financing, RSK reviewed the sellers’ estimations of remaining oil in place, recoverable oil, economic cut-off and NPV of the projected free cash flow by forecasting production curves and economic projections inclusive of asset retirement obligation.

  • On behalf of potential sellers, RSK reviewed the sellers’ estimation of remaining oil in place, recoverable oil, economic cut-off and NPV of the projected free cash flow by forecasting production curves and economic projections for multiple opportunities and provided advisory services on value and divesture strategy.

  • Evaluation used in the marketing and divestiture of two deepwater concessions by the operator (state oil company). RSK provided the operator chance of success by Monte Carlo modeling deriving occurrence of minimum economic field size. RSK’s work resulted in successful divestiture.

  • RSK performed South Atlantic tectonic reconstruction, basin modeling, and heat-flow history to map and determine petroleum prospectivity for use in the sale of 14 deepwater concessions.

  • On behalf of the Federal Reserve, RSK studied the impact of oil trade on current account deficits. The comprehensive model provides forecasting parameters for global oil supply and price volatility. The study identified adjustments needed in the central banks models.

  • On behalf of private equity firm, RSK reviewed engineering data from gas condensate fields and determined the cause of multiple failed development wells. The operator had failed to correctly identify reservoir dew points with the consequence that after a few days of production, liquids would fall out of the gas locking up the reservoir with production ceasing. RSK determined that reservoir pressure was too close to critical point to allow the operator to produce gas, strip the liquids, and re-inject the methane as planned. RSK’s study provided the private equity firm the information needed not to sanction further development.
