A data room is an excellent source of private oil field information, however it can be mined only for a short time. The industry needs an instrument to ease the stress of due diligence. Traditionally, prospective buyers teams visit data rooms to inspect, copy, and interpret the documents provided by the seller.

This method exposes documents to wear and tear, and makes them vulnerable to alterations that are accidental or deliberate. It also doesn’t offer an opportunity for sellers to know who has viewed the particular version of the documents. A virtual data room, however, has global access and does not have the same risk.

When selecting a VDR make sure you choose basic tools and advanced features that will streamline due diligence. Ensure your chosen tool supports the specific needs of your company and has an organized folder structure that is comfortable to make it easier for users to navigate the information. Also, consider looking at the feedback of users on review platforms run by independent organizations.

The effectiveness of a digital room depends on several factors, such as how large the company is and how much documentation it can upload. For smaller companies, a basic virtual data room that has the necessary features may be sufficient. For larger companies, however, more sophisticated tools are required to manage and secure data. Furthermore, they should examine the VDR function within the context of their larger M&A goals and ensure that it can support those goals from both the perspective of tools and systems.
