RPS Energy
Unitisation, Redetermination
& Expert Witness
RPS Energy (incorporating Scott Pickford) is the most experienced Equity Determination Expert consulting group in the world. We have been providing equity Redetermination / unitisation services to the industry almost continuously since 1986 and have maintained a core team which has a proven track-record of working together in the often highly pressured environment of hydrocarbon ownership uncertainty dispute resolution. RPS Energy’s experience in Unitisation and Equity Redetermination related work is extensive and varied. We have on seventeen occasions acted successfully as Expert within a wide variety of procedural styles from complete technical autonomy through to pendulum arbitration in both single and key-step referrals. In addition, we are frequently asked to provide Equity Support services - both technical and strategic advice - to companies preparing for field Redeterminations and have provided Equity Support on fourteen major projects in Europe, Africa, Australia and South America over the last 23 years. RPS Energy staff have also spoken as Expert Witnesses in the London High Courts and drafted Redetermination technical procedures and processes for inclusion in Unit Operating Agreements.
Our experience is not limited to the UK – we have now successfully completed projects in 10 different countries on 4 continents, providing testament to our ability to provide and implement Expert advice on industry best practice, and, evidence of experience of Equity negotiations on a global scale.
