Securing lower-cost capital starts with bulletproof data. To help Oryx Midstream Services, LLC successfully price a $3.15 billion midstream ABS transaction, Opportune provided the third-party technical and financial validation essential for Fitch and institutional investors.
To support this landmark midstream transaction, Opportune’s Corporate Finance, Valuation, and Ralph E. Davis Associates, An Opportune Company Engineering teams provided comprehensive diligence. Our integrated work validated system volumes, stress-tested cash flow scenarios and resulted in a successful and well received issuance.

The deal closes, and the buyer finds out that years of well data live in a desktop database on someone's laptop, with no documentation and business rules buried in code written by someone who left years ago.
That hidden layer controls which wells load first, how much history comes over, and which allocation method survives. Each one is easy to answer early and expensive to discover at the first close.
In our latest blog, Ryan Webernick covers what to request in the data room and how tools like @claudeai can now make this read possible in days rather than weeks. Read the full article here: bit.ly/47dwxe3

Week 4: Josh Sherman, Phill Madden, and Emerson Lee (Porter), CPA walked through a recent IPO engagement and how several service lines came together to support a complex, multi-party transaction.

Energy Workforce’s annual Oil & Gas 101 seminar is officially underway! 🛢️
Each year, the seminar brings together professionals across the energy sector for a comprehensive look at the business of oil and gas, from exploration and drilling to production, economics, and policy.
Kicking off the seminar was EWTC President Molly Determan, who shared an Industry Overview, focusing on the companies, technologies and workforce that move energy from exploration and production through midstream and downstream operations.
Determan also explored the broader forces shaping the sector, including policy, workforce development, and innovations influencing the sector.
Following the Industry Overview was:
📈 Energy Market Outlook | Daniel Romito, @OpportuneLLP
Romito provided a look at the forces shaping the energy market, from economic and geopolitical dynamics to growing power demand and the infrastructure needed to support it.
📚 History of the Industry | Andrew Kuchta, FET
Kuchta traced the evolution of the oil and gas industry, highlighting the discoveries, technologies and innovations that transformed how energy is produced and delivered today.
🌎 Geology & Seismic | Andrew Royle, @Chevron
Andrew broke down how companies use geology and seismic technology to understand what lies beneath the surface and identify where oil and gas may be found.
This afternoon, we’ll continue through the upstream value chain with rig systems, drilling, completions and flow equipment. Stay tuned! 👀
Texas has directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (@TCEQ) to pause environmental permits for data center projects while @ERCOT_ISO and state water boards complete audits. With interconnection queue requests exceeding five times the grid's peak demand, state regulators are shifting toward grid reliability, water preservation, and strict cost allocations.
For energy and power leaders, grid independence no longer means regulatory independence. Behind-the-meter facilities and supporting generation face the same heightened scrutiny under Senate Bill 6 and upcoming state directives.
In our latest piece, Daniel Romito breaks down key regulatory dates through January 2027, evaluates three post-audit market scenarios, and details five immediate risk-management moves to help companies protect capital, re-underwrite project pipelines, and monetize existing permitted capacity.

Key person dependency has been on risk registers for as long as risk registers have existed, and it's rarely addressed. Most organizations already have what they need to solve it, sitting in years of closed support cases and help-desk tickets. The real work is deciding what to keep.
In our latest article, Ryan Webernick explains how to turn that support history into a knowledge base new hires can rely on from day one. Read more here: bit.ly/4rM3VSN
