A low license liability rating can mean higher security deposits and fewer acquisition opportunities. We help improve your licence liability rating by evaluating for liability reduction opportunities and identifying your company’s strengths and weaknesses when it comes to your LLR.

“With commodity prices in decline, licensees have shut-in non-economic production and are curtailing new production. As a result, many licensees are starting to approach an LLR of 1.0, which puts them at risk of having to post significant security deposits. It also limits their ability to acquire or divest assets if the buyer or seller will be put in a position where the LLR will fall below 2.0, forcing them to post security deposits or to cancel the deal.” – Clint Nerbas, President of Solstice Engineering
