Increasing Confidence & Certainty: The New Standard in Oil & Gas Acquisitions and Divestitures

Leveraging AI-powered analytics to provide revenue, fee, and product insights across hundreds of statements—in minutes.

Market: Oil and Gas | Commodity: Crude Oil | Customer: Oil Producer

 

Background

During the evaluation of three potential acquisitions, a leading oil and gas firm accessed multiple data rooms containing critical revenue and contract information—each with varying formats, levels of completeness, and detail. The team needed to validate revenue, fees, product mix, and decline economics using spreadsheets, POP statements, and settlement data, while also reviewing midstream and gathering agreements. All of this had to be completed under a tight deadline, despite the complexity and inconsistency of the data.

The Challenge

The company needed a faster and more precise method to analyze revenue and contract data from multiple acquisition targets. Traditionally, their process involved extensive, time-intensive manual work—taking weeks to extract, normalize, and analyze the data. This often led to unavoidable assumptions due to the complexity and sheer volume of information. To support better decision-making, the firm needed a more efficient and accurate way to process data and generate actionable insights.

 

Solution

AEGIS was engaged to enhance the acquisition analysis process. The customer provided hundreds of POP statements and contract files, and AEGIS immediately transformed their workflow through the following solutions:

Results & Impact

Impressed by AEGIS’s ability to process hundreds of statements in under an hour with remarkable accuracy, the customer adopted Revenue Capture as a core component of their acquisition and divestiture (A&D) playbook. The near-instant delivery of normalized data and actionable insights now enables faster, more informed decision-making.
