GeoTex provides bank-grade technical and financial analysis to small operators, working-interest owners, family offices, and acquisition buyers. Productized packages, senior-engineer delivery, fast turnaround.
Most engineering consultancies focus on transactions north of $50 million. We were structured for the work beneath that line — and for the audiences who need defensible analysis without the overhead of a Big Four energy practice.
Every engagement is scoped on the front end, priced on the front end, and delivered to an agreed timeline. No hourly surprises. No scope creep. No unanswered questions at delivery.
30-minute call to understand your asset, your decision, your timeline, and your deliverable needs. We confirm we are the right fit.
Within 48 hours of the call, you receive a scoped, fixed-fee proposal with a clear delivery date, defined deliverables, and assigned lead engineer.
Typical engagement runs 2–3 weeks. You receive a draft for review one week before final delivery so corrections and clarifications can be incorporated.
Final report, model, and any supporting documentation — built to be defended to a lender, an LP, or a counterparty. Ongoing questions answered for 30 days post-delivery.
Every engagement produces tangible work product — not a slide deck, not a verbal opinion. Documents and models you can give to your bank, your investment committee, or your counterparty without translation.
Executive-readable narrative of the asset, reserves, risk factors, and key technical conclusions. Written for the decision-maker, not the engineer.
Documented reserve estimate (P50 / P90 / P10 where applicable), decline-curve analysis, production history review, and recoverable potential commentary.
Excel cash-flow model with sensitivity to price, decline, capital cost, and operating cost assumptions. Built for your future re-use beyond the engagement.
Explicit identification of asset risks, data gaps, geological uncertainties, and any deal-breaking concerns. We surface what we see — no softening for delivery.
Raw data, calculation sheets, source documents organized for your data room. Everything is reproducible and defensible.
Direct access to the lead engineer for clarification questions, follow-up calls with your counterparty, and adjustments based on new information for 30 days post-delivery.
Each package is scoped, priced, and timed so you can plan against it. Custom and combined engagements are common — most clients start with one of the standard packages.
