Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques applied in an engineering analysis of energy asset information. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting energy asset data maintained by a borrower; receiving information about a first set of parameters for use in evaluating the energy asset data maintained by the borrower; generating, based on the energy asset data and the first set of parameters, cash flow data for the borrower; calculating, based on the cash flow data, borrowing base data for the borrower; receiving information about a second set of parameters; generating, based on the cash flow data and the second set of parameters, adjusted cash flow data; and calculating, based on the adjusted cash flow data, updated borrowing base data for the borrower.

First claim

1 . A method of presenting a user interface comprising:
collecting, by a computing system, energy asset data maintained by a borrower; receiving, by the computing system, a signal that includes information about a first set of parameters for evaluating the energy asset data maintained by the borrower; generating, by the computing system and based on the energy asset data and the first set of parameters, a first set of cash flow data for the borrower; calculating, by the computing system and based on the first set of cash flow data, a first set of borrowing base data for the borrower, wherein the first set of borrowing base data is calculated pursuant to a first borrowing base analysis, and wherein the first borrowing base analysis is one of a plurality of borrowing base analyses performed by the computing system; outputting, by the computing system and after calculating the first set of borrowing base data, information sufficient to present a user interface at a lender computing device, wherein the user interface prompts a user of the lender computing device for information that can be used to calculate a second set of borrowing base data; detecting, by the computing system and based on interactions with the user interface, a signal that corresponds to a request to perform a second borrowing base analysis to calculate the second set of borrowing base data, wherein the interactions with the user interface:
specify that the second borrowing base analysis is to be based on the first borrowing base analysis,
specify that the cash flow data for the second borrowing base analysis is calculated based on the first set of cash flow data, and
specify an updated price deck for calculating the second set of borrowing base data, wherein the updated price deck is chosen from a plurality of available price decks;
determining, by the computing system, that the signal includes information about a second set of parameters, and that the signal identifies the updated price deck; storing in a data structure, by the computing system, the first set of cash flow data, the information about the second set of parameters, and the identity of the updated price deck; collecting, by the computing system, updated energy asset data maintained by the borrower; generating, by the computing system and based on the information stored in the data structure, a second set of cash flow data, wherein the second set of cash flow data is calculated using the updated price deck and the first set of cash flow data to determine approximate values of the updated energy asset data without considering the updated energy asset data maintained by the borrower, and wherein generating the second set of cash flow data includes performing a linear regression analysis based on the first set of cash flow data to estimate a plurality of cash flow items underlying the second set of cash flow data; calculating, by the computing system and based on the second set of cash flow data and the approximate values of the updated energy asset data, the second set of borrowing base data, wherein the second set of borrowing base data is an estimate of the borrowing base data that would result from a calculation based on the updated energy asset data maintained by the borrower; and outputting, by the computing system, the second set of borrowing base data.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of cash flow data for the borrower includes a plurality of cash flows, and wherein generating the second set of cash flow data includes:
performing an interpolation analysis using each of the plurality of cash flows; and identifying an adjusted value for each of a plurality of cash flow items underlying the first set of cash flow data based on the interpolation analysis.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of cash flow data for the borrower includes a plurality of cash flows, each based on one of a plurality of different price decks, and wherein generating the second set of cash flow data includes:
calculating a linear regression line using prices from each of the plurality of price decks; and identifying, based on the linear regression line, an adjusted value for each of a plurality of cash flow items underlying the first set of cash flow data.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of parameters includes information about a plurality of price decks.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the second set of cash flow data does not require processing of any additional energy asset data associated with the borrower.

6 . The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
calculating, by the computing system and based on the first set of cash flow data for the borrower, hedge adjustments data.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein calculating the first set of borrowing base data includes:
calculating borrowing base data further based on the hedge adjustments data.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the energy asset data includes:
information about reserves of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids held by the borrower.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein outputting the information sufficient to present the user interface includes:
generating, by the computing system, a user interface enabling generation of a modified price deck; and wherein determining that the signal includes information about the second set of parameters includes determining further information about interactions with the user interface.

10 . The method of claim 1 ,
wherein collecting energy asset data includes collecting energy asset data for each of a plurality of borrowers; wherein generating a first set of cash flow data includes generating cash flow data for each of the plurality of borrowers; wherein calculating the first set of borrowing base data includes generating borrowing base data for each of the plurality of borrowers; wherein generating the second set of cash flow data includes generating adjusted cash flow data for each of the plurality of borrowers by performing an interpolation analysis using multiple cash flows associated with each respective borrower; and wherein calculating the second set of borrowing base data includes calculating updated borrowing base data for each of the plurality of borrowers.

11 . A system comprising a storage system and processing circuitry having access to the storage system, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
collect energy asset data maintained by a borrower; receive a signal that includes information about a first set of parameters for evaluating the energy asset data maintained by the borrower; generate, based on the energy asset data and the first set of parameters, a first set of cash flow data for the borrower; calculate, based on the first set of cash flow data, a first set of borrowing base data for the borrower, wherein the first set of borrowing base data is calculated pursuant to a first borrowing base analysis, and wherein the first borrowing base analysis is one of a plurality of borrowing base analyses performed by the processing circuitry; output, after calculating the first set of borrowing base data, information sufficient to present a user interface at a lender computing device, wherein the user interface prompts a user of the lender computing device for information that can be used to calculate a second set of borrowing base data; detect, based on interactions with the user interface, a signal that corresponds to a request to perform a second borrowing base analysis to calculate the second set of borrowing base data, wherein the interactions with the user interface:
specify that the second borrowing base analysis is to be based on the first
