Economics & Reserves
11 economics and reserves workflows for NPV, breakeven, AFE, FDP, lease analysis, minerals, sensitivity, and Monte Carlo cases. Engineers and analysts can tie forecasts, costs, ownership, and price decks to ranked capital decisions.
What it solves
Connect engineering forecasts to investment decisions quickly
Economic ranking depends on 8 assumptions that change fast: forecast, capex, LOE, price, differential, tax, timing, and working interest. This suite keeps those drivers explicit so teams can compare wells, leases, and development cases without burying the engineering basis inside a finance workbook.
Use it for well valuation, AFE checks, LOE benchmarking, field development plans, lease analysis, mineral valuation, sensitivity, and Monte Carlo economics. Outputs are built for investment review: PV10, NPV, payout, breakeven, tornado drivers, probability ranges, and case assumptions.
Who it's for
- Reservoir and production engineers translating 1-well or field forecasts into PV10 and payout cases
- Asset managers ranking wells, projects, leases, and development timing across price and cost decks
- Commercial, reserves, and A&D analysts testing WI/NRI, price, cost, and reserve sensitivity before approvals
What you can do
Convert forecasts, cost assumptions, and ownership terms into transparent economic cases and sensitivity ranges.
Value producing wells
Combine production, price, LOE, differential, and ownership assumptions into NPV and payout views.
Estimate capital exposure
Build AFE-level checks and well cost estimates before committing development capital.
Benchmark operating costs
Compare LOE assumptions across wells, fields, and scenarios to expose value leakage.
Run uncertainty cases
Use Monte Carlo and tornado sensitivity to show which assumptions actually move project value.
Compare development plans
Evaluate timing, well count, capital schedule, and production response across field development options.
Support reserves decisions
Tie economics to reserves and commerciality assumptions for internal review packages.
Assess leases and minerals
Model lease terms, mineral interests, and valuation sensitivities for transactions or negotiations.
Prepare decision-ready summaries
Create clear economic outputs for management, reserves, and investment committee reviews.
What’s behind the wall
A purpose-built workflow stack for the specific decisions this discipline runs daily. Specific workflows aren’t listed publicly — every paid customer gets a guided walkthrough of what’s there before they commit. The $1,000 / 30-day intro counts toward your first month if you continue.
60 sec
From raw data to a screened result you can take to the next decision-maker.
One-page report
PDF or XLSX output that drops straight into the standard engineering toolchain your audit firm already uses.
Named engineer
Pro tier ($2,499/mo) includes a Stanford-PhD reservoir engineer on retainer, capped 1–2 hrs/mo for your workflows.
Compare: legacy reserve-evaluation cycles run 4–8 weeks at $50–250K per engagement. Subscription seat licenses for the major commercial DCA platform start at $40K+/seat/yr. Our intro is $1,000 for 30 days, applied as credit toward the first month if you continue.

Defensible answer before a review
An engineer brings raw production, pressure, or operating data into the workspace and leaves with a screened result that can be defended in front of the asset team, audit committee, RBL banker, or A&D buyer — without a multi-week consulting engagement.
Independent second opinion in 72 hours
When the deadline is the LOI clock, the credit-committee date, or the next reserves cycle, the suite turns existing public and operational data into a red-flag memo and one-page report that lets the decision-maker move with confidence in days, not weeks.
Engineering Context
Built on validated petroleum engineering correlations
Economics workflows turn forecasts, costs, ownership, price decks, sensitivities, reserves categories, and investment assumptions into review-ready valuation outputs.
Public docs explain the engineering context and interpretation. Implementation details, validation logic, and production workflows remain private.
Frequently asked questions
Can engineers use this without a finance model?
Yes. The workflows expose the core assumptions engineers usually control: forecast, uptime, costs, LOE, price deck, differential, ownership, and timing. Finance teams can still review the economics, but the engineering case is transparent from the start.
Can I try before buying?
Yes. Run the public sample workflow above with our sample data. To use your own data, save runs, and export reports, you'll need a Standard subscription.
What's the difference between Standard and Pro?
Standard covers single-well, single-run analyses with saved results and standard exports. Pro adds advanced workflows such as batch analysis, probabilistic outputs, type curves, Monte Carlo, advanced reports, and priority support where those workflows are available for the suite.
Is my data private?
Yes. Uploaded files and saved runs are scoped to your account, encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. We do not share or sell your data. Enterprise customers can opt for private workspace deployment with private workflows.
