Upfront investment,

Long-term alignment

Hipterra operates as a hybrid technical service provider and non-operating JV partner. We’re structured so that we succeed only when you succeed.

What shapes each bid

Rather than relying on heavily front-loaded fees, Hipterra combines targeted data acquisition costs with long-term success participation.

Our model combines a single, scoped data acquisition cost with a small Overriding Royalty Interest on producing wells identified through our mapping — so both parties remain committed to the same outcome.

Site Access & Logistics

Remote or restricted sites require additional planning. Mobilization and demobilization are scoped separately to reflect actual operational demands.

Terrain Complexity

Rugged or highly variable terrain affects flight operations, survey passes, and data processing intensity — each influencing the final acquisition cost.

Resolution Requirements

Higher-resolution outputs require denser acquisition patterns and more intensive processing, reflected proportionally in per-square-mile pricing.

ORRI / Carried Interest Structure

In some cases, an equivalent carried working interest may be negotiated depending on net revenue interest and other structural considerations specific to your lease.

Two-Part Structure

Two-part pricing model

Data Acquisition

$5,000 – $12,000 / sq. mile

A single, scoped acquisition cost determined prior to commencement of work. Mobilization and demobilization fees are assessed separately through an initial tailored bid specific to your project site.

  • Desired resolution
  • Project site access
  • Terrain conditions
  • Mob / demob assessed separately

Success-Based ORRI

Small ORRI on producing wells

A small Overriding Royalty Interest on wells drilled within target zones identified through Hipterra's analysis — applied only to new wells that use Hipterra insights. Carried WI may be negotiated.

  • Applies only to new drilled wells
  • Tied to Hipterra-identified zones only
  • Carried WI may be negotiated (NRI-dependent)
  • Rate confirmed per project
