We follow a compassionate compass when charting key partnerships within the energy sector and; indeed, throughout the world.

Company Profile

  
Cornerstone International Industries Inc. was founded in 2008 as an independent producer engaged in exploration and production in Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. Cornerstone International Industries, Inc. experienced consistent and steady increases in production and subsequent returns through the acquisition of new wells, and by adapting to new systems that allowed the company to maintain growth. Even during sustained quarters that reflected low commodity prices and reduced cash flow and net income in the oil and gas industry.
 
Additionally, the company has been able to raise capital through non-brokered private placement, further exposing Cornerstone International Industries, Inc. to projects with exceptional reserves with only moderate risk.
 
As a result of insulating Cornerstone International Industries, Inc. through volatile markets, the company has been able to implement plans for its broader vision, which includes the expansion of its business model. This model includes expanding the company’s crude and refine fuel private platform and fully realizing potential and global reach of the company s’ humanitarian outreach projects and partnerships throughout the world.

ATTRACTIVE RESOURCE POSITION
 
Cornerstone operates several thousand acres of lease and minerals positions, based in Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. The position is in large contiguous parcels that provide for efficient delineation and the execution of a scaled drilling program. The vast majority are either owned or leased under terms that provide significant flexibility (15+ year leases). This ownership position makes the option to develop the potential deeper pay zones even more valuable.
 
 
SOUND BUSINESS STRATEGY ACROSS THE VALUE CHAIN
 

The Cornerstone strategy is to create a leading unconventional and conventional oil and natural gas position in major attractive plays. It consists of:
 

• Scaled Development Strategy: A strategy focused on developing Cornerstone International Industries large, contiguous acreage blocks through the use of best-in-class technology and an operating system developed through years of experience with the major oil companies.
• Commercial Optimization Strategy: A strategy focused on maximizing the value of Cornerstone International Industries acreage and minerals positions through a combination of opportunistic drilling and transactions to find natural owners for all parcels of land.
• Fast-Follower Technology Strategy: A strategy focused on leveraging a scaled acreage position to gain access to best-in-class “super-major” technology, utilizing such horizontal drilling technologies in combination with the newest completion technologies that have been successful in other unconventional and conventional plays.
• Midstream Strategy: A strategy focused on ensuring that all gas and oil is delivered to market without delay, likely through a combination of self-build and partnerships to develop the needed infrastructure to move Cornerstone International Industries volumes, as well as, other volumes in the basins.

Where We Stand

At Cornerstone we believe that leading an energy company is a lot like sailing. We are always mindful that changing winds require rapid adjustment of the sails and ‘strategy’ in order to stay the course. We enter into each joint venture by charting in advance a dynamic plan of integrated data and options that can be adapted to the meet demands of each market and business environment and the many different layers of operations. A lack of preparedness and integrated option planning can lead to missed opportunities, inconsistent profits and the ability to fulfill obligations to supply-chain operators and joint venture partners.

Each operating model we compose is strategically developed to respond to changing upstream/downstream conditions and prices. This process begins by coordinating a complex set of elements involving high-level geopolitical analysis including logistics, behaviors, capital deployment, workforce planning and human resources.

Lastly, we build in the Cornerstone contingency plan–risk mitigated contractual checkpoints to safeguard network operations. These tenets are reviewed when certain criteria has not been met, and when the need to re-direct resources, technology, talent and capital toward areas of opportunity becomes apparent, even crucial.
