Reservoir Engineering & Financial A&D Support

What We Do

Backstretch Exploration provides flexible reservoir engineering and financial modeling services—hourly or project-based—to support shale A&D workflows, minerals underwriting, and non-op WI decision-making. Deliverables include PDP declines, type curves, reserves analysis, inventory spacing, and performance benchmarking built for competitive bid environments.

Core Capabilities

Reservoir analysis that feeds the financial model and drives valuation, bid strategy, and deal outcomes.

Why It Matters

Technical reservoir assumptions ultimately drive valuation, risk, and entry pricing. PDP declines, EUR, development timing, and operator behavior flow through to underwriting returns, bid strategy, and investment committee decisions. Backstretch bridges the gap between reservoir engineering, financial modeling, and the narrative required to support capital allocation.

Supported Decision Makers Include:

  • Minerals & royalty buyers

  • Non-op WI owners

  • Family offices & private capital

  • PE-backed management teams

  • Investment committees & boards

  • Operators & non-op investors

  • Attorneys & deal advisors

Typical Outputs Include:

  • PDP & type curve summaries for IC and deal teams

  • EUR & spacing assumptions tied to operator behavior

  • Development timing & inventory valuation by bench/zone

  • Scenario-based valuation sensitivities & upside cases

  • Minerals & WI underwriting summaries

  • Competitive bid & sellside support packages

  • Presentation-ready charts, tables, and maps

Support is available on an hourly, project-based, or custom basis.
