Selection frame

What a useful shortlist must resolve

Compare oil and gas reserves and economics software by workflow, operating model, and required data—not by a synthetic feature score.

01

Forecasting model

Check decline-curve methods, type-curve workflows, bulk editing, and the controls used to preserve an engineering audit trail.

02

Economic model depth

Confirm ownership, taxes, royalties, operating costs, capital timing, price differentials, and economic-limit behavior for the assets you evaluate.

03

Portfolio scale

Test the real portfolio size, scenario count, collaboration pattern, and reporting cadence—not a small demonstration dataset.

04

Data portability

Understand supported imports, exports, databases, APIs, and the effort required to reconcile source systems each cycle.

System inputs

Data dependencies

A software license does not grant the data, rights, mappings, or operating ownership needed to make the output trustworthy.
