Comprehensive Due Diligence Services: Navigating Oil and Gas Transactions with Confidence
In the complicated world of oil and gas asset acquisitions, thorough due diligence is essential. Our specialized team helps buyers make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.
Our Four-Point Due Diligence Framework includes:
Business Validation - We assess the reasonableness of sellers’ production assertions and buyers’ acquisition strategy, to ensure alignment with operational realities and market conditions.
Regulatory Compliance - Every asset is evaluated against industry standards and regulatory requirements to protect buyers from inheriting unwanted liabilities or substandard operations.
Legal Entitlements – Our team verifies land records, royalty interests, active leases, and rights of way, to confirm no lapse in entitlements and proper documentation.
Risk Identification – We actively identify issues that require negotiation, facilitating transparent discussions that lead to better deal structures.
Beacon West’s comprehensive investigation combines multiple sources from detailed reserve analysis reviews, virtual data room documentation, public records research, and on-site facility inspections. We prioritize Proved Developed Producing (PDP) reserves – for immediate cash flow – while evaluating Proved Undeveloped (PUD) reserves and capital requirements to realize upside potential. We work across many locations but can bring specialized expertise in California's regulatory environment, helping out-of-state buyers and investors navigate complex permitting and compliance requirements with confidence.
Actionable Findings
Our final report includes actionable findings with clear risk identification, practical mitigation strategies, and recommendations. We provide full transparency to create win-win transactions between buyers and sellers.
