Entrypoint and Deproil Launch Joint Subsurface Intelligence Capability for Natural Resource Investors

Entrypoint and Deproil announce the launch of a joint subsurface intelligence capability designed to support investment decision-making in natural resources, including oil & gas, minerals, and energy-transition assets. The partnership brings together Entrypoint’s business intelligence and risk-advisory expertise with Deproil’s advanced geological modelling and reserve-estimation capabilities. The combined offering delivers independent, investment-grade subsurface analysis tailored specifically to the needs of investors, lenders, and advisory firms involved in due diligence, valuation, arbitration, and strategic capital allocation.

Subsurface Risk as an Investment Issue

In many natural-resource transactions, subsurface uncertainty is frequently mispriced or embedded within commercial assumptions. In-place resources are often conflated with recoverable reserves, while optimistic production forecasts may be insufficiently grounded in geological reality. Structural complexity, compartmentalisation, and development constraints are commonly underestimated, exposing investors to material downside risk. The Entrypoint–Deproil capability addresses this gap by reframing subsurface analysis as an investment-critical intelligence function, rather than a purely technical exercise.

Independent Geological Modelling for Decision-Grade Outputs

The joint approach integrates multiple data types — including gravity, seismic, well-log, petrophysical, and magnetic data — to construct geologically meaningful inhomogeneous density models from surface to deep subsurface levels. These models are translated into clear, transparent outputs relevant to investment decisions, including:

• Independent estimates of recoverable reserves

• Defined assumptions and uncertainty ranges

• Prediction of initial production (IP) rates

• Identification of geological sweet spots and downside risks

• Early detection of underperforming development concepts

The analysis is designed to complement legal, commercial, ESG, and political due diligence, strengthening valuation discipline and negotiation positioning.

Designed for Investors, Advisors, and Disputes

The capability is structured to fit typical due-diligence timelines and advisory workflows. It can be deployed at multiple stages of the investment lifecycle — from early screening and pre-LOI assessments to transaction support, refinancing, and arbitration or dispute contexts — providing an independent technical perspective where operator-supplied data may be biased or incomplete.
