Our Services

🎯

Target Identification & Screening

Proprietary analytics to identify acquisition targets based on asset quality, break-even economics, pipeline access, and strategic fit. We screen the market so you can focus on the opportunities that actually move the needle.

📊

Valuation & Fairness Analysis

Independent valuation powered by our real-time market data — including WCS pricing models, pipeline utilization metrics, and project-level break-even analysis. Data-backed valuations that stand up to scrutiny.

🔍

Commercial Due Diligence

Deep-dive market analysis to validate transaction assumptions. We assess egress risk, differential exposure, carbon cost trajectory, and competitive positioning using datasets most advisors don't have access to.

📈

Sell-Side Advisory

Position your assets for maximum value. Our market intelligence identifies the optimal sale timing based on differential trends, pipeline capacity dynamics, and buyer appetite across the sector.

🤝

Strategic Alternatives Review

Not every situation calls for a sale. We help boards and management teams evaluate the full range of strategic options — M&A, joint ventures, asset swaps, recapitalizations — grounded in market reality.

🌍

Cross-Border & Market Access

Unique insight into how Canadian crude reaches global markets. Our re-export tracking, PADD-level refinery analysis, and TMX impact data help buyers and sellers understand the true market access value of Canadian assets.
