Simulation models are acknowledged to be the finest available oil and gas reservoir evaluation tools. Until Gemini Solutions Inc. (“GSI”) developed its platform, simulation had been the province of a few highly skilled specialists in major oil company research centers. GSI’s co-founders developed user-friendly simulation software that an engineer could employ successfully while in the field. After marketing its software to over fifty oil and gas producers primarily located in the Texas/Louisiana Gulf Coast region, GSI engaged a Rockecharlie & Co. to evaluate future growth alternatives and to arrange a transaction through which to execute the best available strategy. We identified a global oilfield services company with which a strategic alliance was proposed to expand GSI’s marketing reach, both nationally and internationally.
