Summary Wood Mackenzie ‘delves deeper’ in accessing the fundamental economics of the US GoM Deepwater Following on from the success of our international deepwater multi-client studies, Global Deepwater Markets #1 and #2, Wood Mackenzie has been inundated with requests to ‘delve deeper’ into the regional trends, players and full-cycle rates of return of the US Gulf of Mexico region. Specifically, clients with a deepwater GoM focus are requesting a more clear, coherent and detailed analysis of how the upstream industry has performed in the US Gulf of Mexico region over the past 10-30 years. Most of the world’s larger IOCs now have a significant presence in the deepwater GoM. Indeed the region also benefits from the presence of a plethora of US independents with specific deepwater expertise. But who are the winners and losers? And what strategies have been invoked by the key players? Wood Mackenzie intends to address these issues by developing an addendum, or ‘bolt-on’ to our latest international multi-client study (Global Deepwater Markets #2). ‘US GoM Deepwater Markets – Delving Deeper!’ will draw upon our unique research platform to quantify the risks and rewards of deepwater investments in the region and analyse the position and strategies of the top 25 leading players. Regional deepwater trends will be assessed, including exploration activity and results, well recoveries, project cycle times, project economics, and full cycle exploration economics. Purchased in isolation, US GoM Deepwater Markets – Delving Deeper! will be an invaluable tool in addressing the fundamental driving forces behind the US Gulf of Mexico deepwater market. As an addendum to the international multi-client study, US GoM Deepwater Markets – Delving Deeper! will impart a greater insight into the performance of the region, and its key players, by providing: Ô
More focus/clarity – assessing US GoM only
Ô
More regional analysis – detailed analysis of leasing and exploration trends (including success rates and finding costs), reserves (including well recoveries), projects (including lead times), costs (including A&D costs) - plus field rankings and breakdowns by water depth
Ô
More corporate analysis – detailed analyses of both the portfolios (including acreage distribution, acreage maturity and production growth) and the performance (including finding costs and A&D activity) of the top 25 regional players - plus company rankings and breakdowns by water depth
Ô
More corporate coverage –analyses of the top 25 leading companies (including up to 10 new, ‘regional’ players)
A full understanding of the dynamics of risks and reward is essential to any involvement in the US GoM deepwater market

Scope and Methodology Wood Mackenzie’s understanding of the deepwater US Gulf of Mexico is based on our unique research platform. Our detailed asset-by-asset research covers all commercial fields (c. 100) and technical discoveries (c. 50) in the region to date and provides the basis for the commercial analysis of this US Gulf of Mexico multi-client study. Similarly, Wood Mackenzie’s PathFinder and other proprietary in-house databases, give Wood Mackenzie unrivalled coverage of lease and E&A drilling activity in the region. Our third unique selling point is our in-depth company knowledge (in terms of both operations and strategy) that stems from our close and long-established personal dealings with all of the region’s key deepwater players.
1.
Regional Deepwater Trends ** Risk-Reward Profile of US Gulf of Mexico Deepwater **
Wood Mackenzie will provide an in depth review of regional E&P trends including lease acquisition costs, exploration success rates, finding costs, reserves growth, capital expenditure and production forecasts. We will also examine all commercial fields and/or projects for which we have created a cash flow model using our in-house Global Economic Model (GEM). These analyses will be run under common oil price and economic assumptions. Projects will then be ranked according to a range of criteria including: NPV, NPV/barrel, IRR, Capex per barrel. Discoveries that are currently considered by Wood Mackenzie to be non-commercial – i.e. ‘Technical Reserves’ - will also be valued and ranked accordingly. Full cycle economics will be conducted on a regional basis using historic lease bonus costs, E&A drilling costs and project cash flows of all commercial fields. Several full cycle cash flows will be generated to examine industry performance over different timeframes (e.g. 5, 10, 20 and 30-year returns) and different water depths (e.g. deep vs ultra-deep returns). The key drivers will be highlighted and discussed.

Corporate Overview – ** Corporate Benchmarking of Portfolios & Performance **
The corporate overview section will consolidate the results of the twenty-five company analyses to allow direct comparisons of portfolios and performance. Company portfolios will be compared on the basis of acreage (e.g. quantity, distribution and maturity), reserves, production, value and relative importance in terms of both global deepwater and global upstream portfolios. Company performance will be measured in terms of exploration success, finding costs, development costs, A&D costs and full cycle economics.
