Boutique Energy Advisory Firm - Financial and technical expertise for O&G property acquisitions.Millennium Advisors has teamed up with Ryder Scott Petroleum Consultants, a leading independent petroleum reserves consultant, to provide full buy-side representation and due-diligence services.Finding advisory services for asset acquisitions is difficult. Investment bankers see greater opportunity in representing the sell side, where success fees are all but assured. Investors, on the other hand, are underserved. They face the challenge of sourcing ad-hoc banking and advisory services from short lists under time constraints. That, of course, distracts from focus on the potential deal. With the Millennium/Ryder Scott alliance, the buy side has a complete, highly proficient advisory team. We know that deals move quickly, so the alliance is ready to respond on reasonably short notice.
