Blog: Visualization Is the Name of Today's Oil and Gas Game

Seeing your land position enables informed planning and decision-making

Imagine with me for a moment …

You and your significant other have decided it’s finally time. After years of renting an apartment, it’s time to buy a home – one with a white picket fence and an emerald-green lawn.

The two of you hop into your SUV and drive to the local real-estate agency. You’re excited … no, elated! This will be your first home. You can see yourselves sitting on the front porch on a warm summer day now.

You park your car and walk into a realtor’s office. You can barely sit still you’re so excited. You can’t wait to take a drive around town and see all of the for-sale homes.

The realtor then proceeds to tell you something strange. Very strange.

“We’re not going to be looking at homes today. We’re going to be reading about them – how many square feet they are, how many bedrooms and bathrooms they have, those sorts of things. Are you as excited as I am?!”

You and your loved one slowly turn to look at each other. Then back to the realtor: “But we were really looking forward to seeing some homes today.”

Visualization is key – for homebuyers and for oil and gas pros
If you’re an oil and gas professional, seeing your land position is just as important as seeing a home before you buy it.

Think about it, would you really pull out your checkbook and sign away a $40,000 down payment before seeing the home you’re going to live in for the next 10 or 15 years?

Likewise, should oil and gas teams make high-stakes business decisions based on what they’ve gleaned from spreadsheets and paper reports?

We think not.

The best decisions are made when teams have the ability to see, on a map, their areas of interest and their leasehold position in the energy patch.

This type of visualization allows those in the Land and Land Administration departments to:

• See their company’s lease position relative to the competition’s
• Manage crucial provisions and obligations
• Zoom to a prospect and see their leases, acreage and interest in the area
• Set up and manage leases, contracts and division orders quickly and easily

In other words, visualization enables oil and gas professionals to work quickly and intelligently – a must in today’s energy marketplace.

Imagine making a business-changing decision based on what you’ve read on a spreadsheet or heard from a colleague. Now imagine buying your first home based on what some realtor has shown you on a piece of paper.

Visualization is needed to get the most out of you oil and gas assets … and to secure a home with just the right white picket fence.
