About Company
William E. LaRoche founded LaRoche & Associates in 1979 after completing 20
years of service with DeGolyer and MacNaughton as a Senior Vice President and
Director. LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. (LPC) was formed in 1996 when
Richard G. Green and William M. Kazmann joined Mr. LaRoche. LPC is now one of
the fastest growing petroleum consulting firms in the country and has seven
partners with experience in both major oil companies and small independent
companies. Four partners have previous experience at larger petroleum consulting
firms, while three partners previously owned small independent oil companies.
With this background, we understand the critical role independent reserve
reports play in completing oil and gas financial transactions and have the
skills and judgment necessary to perform fair and reliable reserve analyses.
Our staff consists of 20 professionals including engineers, geologists,
geophysicists, engineering analysts and administrative personnel. This diversity
gives LPC the experience and technical ability to perform reserve and integrated
engineering and geologic studies, including geophysical and reservoir simulation
work. We utilize ARIES, MERAK, OGRE, or PHDWin for reserve and economic
analysis, according to client preference. We use PETRA and GeoGraphix software
for mapping and Eclipse software for reservoir simulation. Geophysical analysis
is provided in our office on our SMT (Kingdom) and SeisVision workstations and
we are also capable of offsite analysis on Landmark and GeoQuest.
LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd. has extensive experience in merger and
acquisition evaluations, field studies and reserve reports, both domestically
and internationally. We are experienced in evaluation of non-conventional
reservoirs, particularly coalbed methane and shales. Our merger and acquisition
experience is not limited to the evaluation phase. During the post acquisition,
or transition phase, we often work with our clients to rapidly target upside
potential as well as assist in the identification and subsequent divestiture of
non-strategic assets. This helps our clients integrate the new properties into
their system quickly and with a minimum of added internal overhead.
Our technical staff has significant reserve analysis experience in all of the
U.S. producing basins and most of the basins around the world, with over 30
years experience, on average, per engineer. We offer high quality, independent
technical evaluations; however, due to our lower overhead cost structure, we can
offer our services at lower costs as compared to peer group petroleum consulting
firms. Our staff works on an independent basis, or if requested, as an extension
of your staff in a team environment.
Some of our major clients have included: Ascent Energy, Inc.; Associated Energy
Managers; Bank of Texas; Barclays Capital; Comerica Bank; Compass Bank; Dallas
Production Company; Devon Energy Corporation; EnCap Investments L.C.; Fremont
Energy; Hunt Petroleum; Longview Production Company; MBOE Oil & Gas; PEMEX
Exploration & Production; Quicksilver Resources, Inc.; Rising Star Energy; Ross
Smith Energy Group; Ryder Scott Oil Company; Sundown Energy, Inc.; Star
Resources; Texas Capital Bank; Toreador Resources Corporation; Trek Resources,
Inc.; United Oil and Minerals, L.P.; Wilco Properties, Inc.; Williams Energy
Marketing & Trading; and Wynn-Crosby Energy, Inc.

geophysical needs with you to design a cost-effective strategy to help you
