Acquisition Screening

The acquisition marketplace, with over $6 billion/year in turnover, represents a significant component of domestic oil and gas activity. Winning can frequently equate to paying too much in this competitive environment. Working alongside the client, Scotia has provided:

  • Screening of acquisition candidates on a proactive basis for the purpose of unsolicited offers.

  • Review and mini-evaluation of acquisition submittals including suitability ranking with respect to client criteria.

  • Fielding a data room team to collect and compile information, including 80/20 screening and focusing on key problem areas.

  • Performing short time-frame economic evaluations to meet externally imposed deadlines.

  • Review and evaluation of upside including operating cost economies, operational changes, behind pipe and undeveloped reserves potential and the application of appropriate risk factors.

  • Comparison of derived bid values to current market data using the Scotia M&A database.

  • Detailed due diligence reviews prior to closing.

  • Post-acquisition assimilation including quantification of operational improvements, upside, and recommendations for improving cash flow.
