The 2000 Merak Value Management Suite (VMS) houses new versions of Peep, Capital Planning and Decision Tree. Canadian Peep, US Peep and World Peep are now combined in one executable, enabling oil and gas companies to rollup international assets for global management and evaluation. Merak’s portfolio optimization tool VMS director Dave Mason claims “Capital Planning is the first application in the industry to allow oil and gas companies to simultaneously examine and modify multiple portfolios for global capital optimization.”
