Independent benchmarking of upstream oil & gas companies focused on capital efficiency, reserve replacement, profitability, and peer group performance.
We analyze capital spending and reinvestment rates to assess capital discipline and sustainability. Our work includes finding and development costs using multi-year averages to normalize results across market cycles. We evaluate reserve replacement and revisions to determine long-term reserve sustainability and identify trends in performance. Cash flow, margins, and profitability are analyzed on a per BOE basis to allow meaningful comparisons. Finally, we benchmark peer group performance across oil-weighted, gas-weighted, and diversified E&Ps to identify strengths, weaknesses, and outliers.
Benchmarking is tailored to relevant peer groups based on asset mix, commodity exposure, basin concentration, and capital strategy. This ensures comparisons are meaningful—not generic.
This analysis draws on over 30 years of experience evaluating upstream oil & gas companies across commodity cycles and capital allocation regimes.
Clients use this analysis for investment research and due diligence, evaluating management performance, identifying outperformance and underperformance, supporting consulting and strategic decisions, and providing independent analysis in disputes or expert review.
