Amazingly, the ingredients are simple!

• Financial Statements - preferably audited [important]
• Data on your production volumes - past and projected [important]
• Reserve reports (optional)
• A good enough banking relationship that enables you to obtain a letter of credit (optional)
• Cash - modest (if any) - a rule of thumb would be 30¢ to 70¢/Mcf (NG) and $3 to $7/bbl (oil).
