The provision of strategic advice to our clients is a significant portion of Scotia's business. This includes the ability to synthesize large amounts of data concerning a play or basin into a form that may be used for decision-making. Scotia's MASTER, MAGUS and RESWIZ models allow us to rapidly database and manipulate historical production databases, calculate EURs and develop a variety of expressions of this data. These capabilities include:

Generation of pool size and field size distributions and sequencing models, as well as fractal distributions to estimate the number and size of remaining undiscovered pools. Incorporation of drilling history statistics to generate discovery process models. Detailed quantification of reserves growth in established fields and forecasting of future reserves growth patterns. Includes basic economics, risk model and finding cost analysis. Subset the data to derive comparative figures from area to area or for individual operators, facilitating competitor analysis. Production characterization for analog development and various methods for sweet-spot quantification. Automated historical play development mapping and expression of EUR data. Development of vintaging curves and the assessment of the impact of technology.
