- This invention relates generally to evaluating oil and gas properties, and more specifically, to web-based methods and systems for providing valuation of oil and gas properties based on specific criteria established by a business entity.
- a business entity typically conducts many levels of review when determining whether to participate in financing a specific property.
- a business creates an information package that includes various supporting documents including a detailed analysis justifying the financing of the property. After the documents are assembled and organized, they are circulated for final approval to various employees at varying levels of authority including corporate executives.
- the OGVS is a centralized and integrated business tool that determines valuation of the Oil and Gas Properties for any business entity.
- the tool enhances the lines of communication between the business entity and its customers by providing a price range for a specific Oil and Gas property based on expected cash flow which includes revenues and expenses.
- the OGVS streamlines processes, speeds up initial valuation and simplifies the business entity's review process. It also eliminates the properties which do not have merit from the business acquisition perspective. These features are important, particularly in the fast changing E-business environment.
- the system captures cash flow related information and determines the valuation range for the customer.
- the system utilizes a
- the OGVS stores cash flow related data in the database in several separate sections and processes information based on a pre-established algorithm to determine the price range for the property as well as the property's strategic fit from the finance perspective.
- the OGVS provides a formalized process to manage the potential deal/acquisitions relating to oil and gas properties to achieve full compliance.
- the OGVS also provides a cost benefit to a business entity by streamlining the management process associated with automatically processing the potential leads received from its customers through a web site.
- the present invention is a method for determining a current valuation of an oil and gas property on-line using a web-based system including a server system coupled to a centralized interactive database and at least one client system.
- the method includes the steps of receiving information from a client system, storing the information into a centralized database, processing the information, and providing a valuation of a property based on current and future market commodity pricing conditions.
- the method involves providing access only to the authorized users by authenticating users through a valid user identification and a password.
- the server system is connected to a centralized interactive database for receiving oil and gas property information which among others includes receiving a Case Name, a specific selection regarding the user's current situation, an effective date, a total discounted cash flow value by Reserve Class and Location, an Annual summary cash flow by Reserve Class, Expense-related information, an Average Production Tax Rate, estimated average price differentials including all adjustments, number of wells in the first full year of production, a daily rate in numbers of barrels or annual volumes in thousand barrels per year, an economic year of property, and an Expense Escalation Rate.
