Many institutional owners...

find themselves without the technical resources to effectively manage their oil and gas assets. So long as royalty checks continue to roll in and there are no immediate decisions facing the owner, why invest the overhead necessary to maintain in-house expertise?

Problems arise when the institution wants to rationalize their interests or simply value their ownership for internal allocation purposes; or when approached by third parties wanting to lease their minerals, obtain a seismic permit, or the operator wishes to modify operations through unitization—which may greatly affect royalty payments. This is when Obsidian Energy’s Institutional Owner Services are beneficial.
