The main objectives of a successful E&P company is to increase its hydrocarbon reserves. Companies usually achieve this objective either through organic growth within its exploration concessions, application of new technology to enhance field production or inorganic growth through acquisition and purchase of producing assets with proven reserves.

Companies must assess those potential resources before pursuing the opportunity.
