Informed decision-making
Effective strategic acquisition and divestment decisions require access to up-to-date, accurate information. As budgetary pressures force organizations to prioritize opportunities, critical and consistent evaluation of competing proposals becomes a high priority. AssetBank enables investment and strategic planning teams, economists, geologists, and engineers to screen oil & gas discoveries and developing fields in a rapid and systemic manner.

A worldwide, interactive databank
Utilize our interactive databank of worldwide discoveries and developing oil & gas fields to review key information, quickly and efficiently and obtain the detailed data you need to make credible assumptions and solid business decisions.

• Assess opportunities based on a range of assumptions 
• Identify strategically-aligned "green field" investment opportunities by filtering and selecting fields based on your defined criteria. Run multiple versions of each model using our interactive functionality, testing scenarios and sensitivites
• Develop mitigation strategies and quantify the potential profit impact of key uncertainties such as hydro carbon fundamentals, well productivity and individual fiscal terms

Country Coverage Map

The primary input assumptions provided by AssetBank are sourced from IHS databases, giving you access to comprehensive coverage of oil & gas data. 

You can filter and select fields based on your defined criteria and run multiple versions of each model.

Up-to-date field information is combined with cost data extracted from the latest version of the QUE$TOR software. So you can audit assumptions with ease and replace input parameters with your proprietary views. AssetBank users do not need to be equipped with a QUE$TOR license although QUE$TOR models can be imported into AssetBank. 

AssetBank post-tax cash flow calculations utilize the latest fiscal dataset created and maintained by IHS PEPS economists.
