Experience

Aupec provides valuation services to companies around the globe and across the whole industry spectrum.

Recent work ranges from a study for an individual company to estimate the size of the offshore market for industrial gases, to a multi-client economic analysis of petroleum exploration and development terms in North West Europe and the Atlantic Margin: the governments in the UK, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands have all introduced complex fiscal legislation applied to petroleum exploitation.

We are currently examining the effects of the taxation systems on the project economics of oil and gas fields under a wide range of oil and gas prices, field sizes, development and operating cost conditions and exploration success rates. The report will be available in Q1, 2009:  for more information contact David Rose.
