How would you value an oil & gas company?
What happens to an oil producer’s financials if oil prices drop by 20%?
How does valuation differ across upstream, midstream, and downstream companies?
What are 1P, 2P, and 3P reserves, and why do they matter?
Which multiples are most relevant in energy, and why not EV/EBITDA alone?
How do ESG and the energy transition impact valuation?
How would you model an LNG project differently from an oilfield?
