Oil & Gas Business Valuations

The oil and gas industry is a cornerstone of the global economy, encompassing upstream exploration and production (E&P), midstream transport and storage, and downstream refining and distribution. These businesses manage capital-intensive operations and operate across fluctuating commodity markets, geopolitical forces, and regulatory environments.

Despite volatility, oil and gas companies hold significant asset value through reserves, infrastructure, and long-term supply contracts—making expert valuation essential for strategic decisions, financing, and M&A activity.

What Makes Oil & Gas Valuation Unique?

Valuing an oil and gas company involves unique challenges due to its reliance on natural resource extraction, commodity pricing, and regulatory frameworks. A proper valuation must account for both tangible assets (like pipelines and rigs) and intangible factors such as lease rights and production potential.

Valuation differentiators include:

• Proven and Probable Reserves: Quantified reserves play a central role in determining future revenue and company value.

• Commodity Price Sensitivity: Oil and gas pricing significantly affects revenue forecasts and investor risk perception.

• Field Lifecycle and Production Curve: Early-stage vs. mature wells have vastly different cash flow profiles and valuation outcomes.

Key Oil & Gas Valuation Metrics

At InteleK, our valuation methodology is tailored to energy-sector operations, incorporating engineering data, asset value, and market pricing. Core metrics include:

1. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: Baseline for assessing earnings and applying industry multiples.

2. Net Asset Value (NAV): A discounted cash flow model based on estimated future production from proven reserves.

3. Production Rate and Decline Curve: Measures current output and expected depletion over time.

4. Reserve Valuation (PV-10 and PV-20): Present value of projected cash flows from proven reserves, discounted at 10% or 20%.

5. Leasehold Value and Working Interest: Ownership structure and lease rights affect revenue share and liability exposure.

6. Lifting Costs and CapEx Requirements: Key drivers of operational efficiency and profit margin.

7. Hedging and Pricing Contracts: Impact cash flow stability and financial predictability.
