NTG Auburn’s advisory team provides on-call, upstream subject-matter expertise when you need an independent review of your processes, programs, and technical decisions. Whether you’re pressure-testing a plan before execution or validating performance issues already in the field, our peer review helps you identify gaps, improve outcomes, and communicate defensible recommendations to stakeholders.
Peer review is a structured, third-party evaluation of upstream workflows and technical programs—focused on execution realities, operational constraints, and practical improvement opportunities. We don’t just “check the math.” We review assumptions, procedures, risks, and how the plan will actually perform in the field.
Before a major decision (new drilling campaign, completion design change, artificial lift redesign, facility modification)
After performance shortfalls (under-delivering wells, high OPEX, downtime, emissions exceedances, flow issues)
When you need alignment between technical teams, management, and investors
When you want an objective, defensible basis for selecting vendors, technologies, or program changes
Our peer reviews cover a wide range of upstream processes and programs, including:
Drilling and completion plans
Artificial lift optimization
Chemical program optimization
Emission reduction initiatives
Flow assurance
Data management and data systems
Vendor management programs
New technology evaluation
Sand / proppant programs
1) Define the decision and success criteria
We start by clarifying the goal, constraints, and what “good” looks like (cost, schedule, reliability, production, ESG, etc.).
2) Review inputs, assumptions, and field realities
We evaluate technical basis, operational readiness, and execution risks—including vendor dependencies and system limitations.
3) Identify gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities
We highlight what’s working, what’s missing, and what creates the most leverage for improvement.
4) Deliver clear recommendations your team can act on
You receive prioritized findings with practical next steps, and we can support implementation if desired.
Priority findings and risk register (what matters most and why)
Assumption checks and sensitivity drivers
Program optimization recommendations (technical + operational)
Vendor / technology comparisons (when applicable)
Executive-ready summary for management / partners
NTG Auburn combines hands-on upstream operations experience with technical rigor—so peer review conclusions are grounded in how projects are executed in the real world, not just how they look on paper.
If you need an independent review of an upstream program, plan, or operating workflow, NTG Auburn can engage quickly—on a project basis or as an on-call resource.
