Our Process
We focus on domestic onshore projects where we have direct operational experience or strong regional knowledge. Project review begins with geological evaluation of the prospect, followed by land and title work, cost awareness, field planning, and documentation. We pursue a limited number of projects at any given time, which allows us to give each one the operational attention it requires.
As operator, VP Operating is responsible for ongoing field operations for the life of the well. This includes production monitoring, scheduled maintenance, vendor management, regulatory reporting to state agencies, and handling remedial work or workovers needed to maintain or restore production.
VP Operating emphasizes direct communication and documentation. Updates may include key project milestones, field activity, production status, maintenance issues, vendor coordination, and major operating decisions. The goal is to keep the operating record clear and the right people informed.
If a well encounters no commercially viable hydrocarbons, it is plugged and abandoned in accordance with state regulatory requirements. This is one of the fundamental risks of oil and gas work, which is why geological evaluation, operator due diligence, and realistic cost review matter.
