E&P companies recognize the need for consistency in characterizing the opportunities in their portfolio. However, there is often a gap between the drive for consistency and the ability to manage the underlying data, especially as opportunities mature from leads to prospects to drill ready. There is also often a large time gap between the decision to drill a well, and the post-drilling results and calibration process.
