Key Features And Benefits Of Atlas

The full Hannon Westwood subscription service comprises intelligence reports and an integrated intuitive GIS map interface:

Analytical Reports - detailed reporting and analysis of current UKCS commercial activity, including company strategy, corporate portfolios, assets in deals, equity holders, licence rounds, taxation, fallow status, exploration and appraisal success rates. Company reports contain information on whether licences are core or non-core to the company and provide an early alert to the potential for a deal. 

Opportunity Reports - contain detailed information on opportunities that are immediately pre-market or currently being marketed.  Occasionally reports may be more speculative on assets we believe are being prepared for market.  The types of opportunities covered include: exploration and appraisal farm-ins, pre-development, development and production asset sales, portfolio and corporate sales.

Well Activity Reports - provides technical detail, commercial background, impact on the participating companies and on the surrounding area for all UKCS E&A wells. 

Monthly Market Activity Reports - wider reporting on items of general interest, including NW Europe licensing rounds, drilling activity, new discoveries, field approvals and deals.

Delivery - Reports are provided by email as they are issued. 

Library and GIS map - As the full service delivers approximately 200 reports a year, a CD comprising a GIS map interface with cultural information, search and filtering tools and the reports archive is produced monthly to facilitate access to intelligence reports by area, company, well, discovery or field on the UKCS. Currently there are over 1200 reports in the consolidated library archive dating back to 1999.

Expertise - The service provides access to the dedicated team for queries on report content or other questions of more specific interest
