GGL’s Goal = Maximize Client’s ROIs
GGL believes that successful projects are dependent on minimizing and mitigating risk in order to maximize the Return on Investment (ROI). GGL has defined risk factors specifically present in the extractive industry to include Physical, Fiscal and Political. The following questions address these factors and provide the foundation of the GGL approach.
Physical: Is the commodity present?
Fiscal: Is it economically recoverable?
Political: Is entitlement feasible?
While the first two risks are determined by empirical evidence, Political risk is far more nebulous and is characterized by potential for failure in the governmental, regulatory and community arenas. GGL offers a suite of services to bring you simple, scalable and cost efficient solutions to help overcome these complex issues and facilitate project success.
