Use the Scatter and Indicator charts to show aggregated metrics for a group of projects in
a specific geographic region

These metrics may include key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Total Capital Invested, After-Tax cash
flows (AT NPV), and Product Volumes. This chart can be quickly customized. Using the simple drag-and-drop
of a mouse, the impact of a new acquisition, exploration project, or any other type of investment can be
quantified under a different set of corporate metrics.


Understand the full implications of investment decisions on future performance

Goal-performance charts shows how a proposed portfolio (in red) compares to existing assets (light blue) and corporate goals (pink), along with the probability of achieving your goals in a given year (dark blue). Are corporate goals feasible? What is the probability of achieving goals in the coming years? What is the probability of achieving goals under a different price forecast?
Reduce Investment Risk through Diversification with Efficient Frontier

"Every possible asset combination can be plotted in risk-return space. For a given amount of risk, there is a combination offering the best possible return." H. Markowitz

Use Capital Planning to find the portfolios that lie on the 'Efficient Frontier'. Generate multiple optimal portfolio solutions that maximize corporate value, make most efficient use of resources, or minimize risk.

There are often tradeoffs between two dependent metrics, such as portfolio value and risk. Use the Scatter Chart to display the "efficient frontier" of potential portfolios that offer the optimal balance of value and risk. Portfolios plotted below the red line, meet corporate objectives but are not as "efficient" in terms of reward for the same amount of exposure as the ones above the line.
Quickly assess how your investments are performing against corporate targets for various regions

These indicators charts display the variance between actual production and cash flow against forecasts at a particular point in time.
Reduce Investment Risk through Diversification

Use the Histogram Chart to understand the risk profile for a given metric (represented as a stochastic indicator or time series) for projects or portfolios. 1) Understand the full range of possible outcomes for each asset, and for the combined portfolio. 2) Take into account project and price correlations. 3) Derive statistical measures such as semi-standard deviation (downside uncertainty), mean, median, and determine the probability of achieving an event.
