Oil and Gas Portfolio Optimization & Uncertainty Analysis

esi.portfolio™ is an analytic platform for evaluating decisions related to upstream oil and gas strategy development, portfolio management, capital allocation, and M&A. Our software can help companies optimize their portfolios and gain insights into their performance potential and their strategic alternatives at a corporate or business unit level. This is done in the context of their existing business, their risks and uncertainties, and their opportunities and objectives.

esi.portfolio brings together data (financial and operational) and the business context (business goals, assumptions, constraints, etc.) to address decisions involving risk or uncertainty.

Integrated, Predictive Business Modeling

Model strategic, operational and financial plans as a tightly integrated whole. Then, review business unit plans and budgets tied to specific initiatives and operations. Since the plans are interconnected, you can quickly assess how changes in one area would impact others. Equally powerfully, you can identify opportunities and challenges based on the interactions among your current business, opportunities, leading indicators and business drivers.

Constraint Based Optimization

Use the power of portfolio optimization to quickly sort through thousands or millions of options and combinations. The results identify the optimal mix and timing of new projects, expansions, cutbacks, acquisitions, joint ventures etc. You can optimize performance from a financial and/or operational perspective, considering multiple goals and constraints, and then easily derive budgets from that plan.

Evaluation of Risk and Uncertainty

Use predictive analytics to understand if you can succeed given the uncertainties in your business. Additionally, you can quantify the probability that specific objectives will be met and see the range of probable outcomes. You can use these capabilities to analyze how different assumptions for factors such as price, costs, timing or market uncertainty affect your ability to succeed.

Benefits:

• Analysis that previously took weeks, can be done in hours
• Make decisions with a specific level of confidence that you will meet goals
• Rapid and more complete evaluation of alternatives
