WCSB Costs & Royalties

Most WCSB gas basins are 'economically challenged' compared to other North American basins - due to maturity, distance from markets ('basis differential'), and availability of infrastructure.  

Industry Solutions

For the ongoing survival & growth of the Canadian natural gas industry, it is critical that Industry & Governments have access to "real data, with integrity". Ziff Energy supports of the industry and its role within the Western Canadian economy by providing Independent Finding & Development & Relacement analysis, produced by our senior technical staff. This analysis is far superior and insightful to 'macro' analysis available from the Investment Community, Goverments, or US Consultants, because Ziff Energy assessments provide actual F&D along with reserve replacement metrics for specific gas strategies (7 conventional, 3 unconventional) and 5 oil strategies, NOT BASED ON ESTIMATES!
