Upstream country assessment

Mitigating international asset risk and entry barriers across global plays

Entering a new geography or committing capital to international upstream assets requires navigating highly complex, multifaceted regional conditions. ADI Analytics provides a comprehensive framework to dissect asset attractiveness, helping operators and investors look beyond superficial production metrics to evaluate real operational and geological viability. We translate technical, regulatory, and financial data into distinct strategic choices that protect long-term international capital allocations.

Geological and landscape profiling. Establish a top-level overview of a country’s energy mix, demand-supply balance, and fiscal, political, and policy landscapes to ground your international entry strategy.

Strategic play SWOT analysis. Evaluate high-potential assets and plays by deploying a standardized comparison framework alongside a thorough SWOT analysis tailored to each specific region.

Detailed opportunity and risk analysis. Conduct deep-dive evaluations of resource quality, development stages, and capital expenditures (CAPEX) paired with sensitivity analyses and asset ranking frameworks to isolate critical operational roadblocks and track vital actions to watch out for.
