The company's business plan is structured to take advantage of today's rising energy cost, while reducing as much financial risk as possible. Triton's niche and/or specialties relate to small to moderate operations (usually 1-50 well projects). These wells can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue but require more hands-on attention then the major producers are willing to give.
