TrueCost Opportunity Benchmarking Software

Find and Benchmark the Right Upstream Oil & Gas Opportunities

• Use IPA’s project database to quickly identify the right upstream oil and gas opportunities for your company
• Benchmark the value, cost, and schedule of your exploration and production (E&P) opportunities
• Compare your company’s portfolio performance against the industry
• Eliminate the time-consuming process to collect, verify, and normalize industry data from public sources

Real Oil & Gas Data Directly From Project Teams

Carefully Validated and Normalized Upstream Data

Collecting project data from public sources is not just time-consuming, but the incomplete, non-normalized nature of these data sources makes them unreliable. All cost and schedule data contained in TrueCost are validated by IPA project analysts and carefully normalized by our team of economists to account for currencies and inflation.

Accurate Results in Real-Time

TrueCost is easy to use and generates accurate results in 30 seconds or less. Much like filtering tools commonly used to shop for homes and vehicles, users start by selecting a concept type (FPSO, Onshore, LNG, etc.) and then applying a variety of filters (e.g., region/country, hydrocarbon type, water depth, completed vs. ongoing, authorization year, greenfield vs. brownfield, and more). TrueCost displays cost and schedule metrics for real projects that meet the selected criteria, enabling direct, apples-to-apples comparisons between an opportunity and/or portfolio.
