THE OIL FIELD ASSET LIFECYCLE
Bass is seeking assets in prolific hydrocarbon provinces that demonstrate overlooked oil and
gas production potential
Discovery
Large operators conduct
exploration activities
resulting in a growing
numbers of assets owned
by these groups
Large incumbent operators
Development
The incumbent operators
develop the wells in a
cost effective manner
Production
Due to a large asset base,
incumbents maximise
production with little
focus on optimisation of
secondary production
potential
Incumbent Divests
Bass Oil's target asset
Once easily accessible
production is exhausted,
large operators divest of
non core assets as they
become immaterial
Acquisition
Smaller operators
acquire assets that have
unexploited reserve
bases
Smaller operators such as Bass
Optimisation
Smaller operators focus
on optimisation, taking
advantage of a lower cost
base to generate strong
cash flow
Production
The smaller operators
produce from this asset
base until the resource is
exhausted
Abandonment
Once the resource is
exhausted, the lifecycle is
complete and the asset is
abandoned
