ASSET IDENTIFICATION, ASSESSMENT & ACQUISITION Noble Hill assembles teams of seasoned geoscientists, geologists, petrophysicists and engineers to handle and overcome challenges investigating, optimising and preparing practical field assessment, acquisition, and development plans from review and processing of large data sets and also the typically sparse information available with marginal and small field purchases and farm-ins. The study and economics phase of any field development is crucial to starting in the right development direction. As illustrated in the graph below, conceptual and front end engineering designs must be in place before funding can be properly defined and committed. DESIGN INFLUENCE VS. EXPENDITURES HIGH DESIGN INFLUENCE PROJECT APPROVAL MATERIALS IMPACT LOW STUDIES & ECONOMICS CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FEED DETAILED DESIGN & MATERIALS appraise select define execute Noble Hill consistently seeks to determine the best ways forward considering: Legislative and fiscal compliance Technical Product off-take and transport Effluent handling & disposal Development financing and cash flow Field logistics & OPEX Socio-Geopolitical issues Noble Hill ensures pertinent stakeholders are kept fully-informed on the development of prospects including challenges, cost projections, schedule and anticipated returns; to ensure informed decisions are made. Project progress is formally documented in reporting that can also be tailored to meet the requirements of government and stakeholders.
Reservoir Evaluation & Planning The purpose of the reservoir evaluation is to determine the reservoir production potential and develop the conceptual field development plan. This information allows field development costs to be assessed and determines the attractiveness of the economics and the ability to underwrite the development. The reservoir evaluation for oil & gas fields provides a formal risked reserves statement which is then translated into life-of-field production profiles to reflect income potential. The conceptual field development plan is then set and phased against projected income to show cash flow, margins, and investment merit. FIELD DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Once a conceptual field development plan is agreed in principle with stakeholders, Noble Hill mobilizes the following implementation teams: Engineering Drilling Services (construction, procurement and logistics) Legal & External Affairs These teams review and develop their respective discipline contents of the field development plan; preparing drawings and specifications; long lead material bills; fabrication and construction schedules and other key project deliverables; including costs and schedules, such as: Conceptual design package with support presentations to the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) Field development plan to DPR Drilling contracts & well programs Permit-to-Surveys for potential pipeline corridors Tie-in arrangements for sales crude together with a preliminary routing and agreement Documentation for ROW procurement of each pipeline and site Preliminary materials orders & civil bulks Survey scope of work & maps, quantities etc. Host community and labor relations planning Project suppliers/vendors list including pre-qualification Procurement plan to meet project requirements, including purchasing, expediting, QA/QC, logistics and accounting processes Conceptual design for packaged equipment, including equipment specifications and request for quotation for qualified vendors At this juncture, stakeholders are in possession of preliminary costs, returns and financing options to bring the field to production and can make an informed final investment decision.
