When we began Cobalt, we started with a clean sheet of paper, building a prototype 21st century E&P company from scratch. Unencumbered by legacy systems and outdated rules, we challenged ourselves to envision what such a company could be.
It would have an elite team of experts, applying the best technology, well-honed analytical skills and knowledge, along with the experience gained from years exploring and producing some of the most challenging reservoirs in the world.
It would be narrowly focused on areas where the opportunity is greatest and our expertise creates the greatest advantage: deepwater Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, with an emphasis on sub-salt and pre-salt.
Finally, we would invest our resources in acquiring the most advanced IT systems and the best seismic data that new technology can offer - only investing in what is core to our business.
The result is a company that is smart, agile and lean, with the capability and business model to move swiftly and decisively in the most competitive and demanding space - the modern oil and gas industry.
