  • The Vega field will produce an estimated average of 9.74 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) during 2011, which will be its peak capacity.
  • The life of the Vega field is expected to be around 23 years with complete abandonment during 2032. The field is expected to generate $4.28 billion in revenues (undiscounted) during its remaining life (starting January 1, 2010) and is expected to yield an IRR of around 10.75%.

Scope
  • The report provides detailed information on oil and gas production, infrastructure, reserves, geology, operator and equity partners and the latest fiscal terms applicable to the asset and provides its fair value (Remaining Net Present Value) based on remaining reserves, forecast production, capital and operational costs, fiscal regime and commodity prices.
  • The report also provides additional valuation parameters like Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Profitability Index (PI), Pay Back (discounted and undiscounted), Entitlement Production (EP) and Working Interest (WI) to enhance your decision making process.
  • This report provides detailed sensitivity analysis of the remaining NPV with changes in the commodity prices, discount rate, production and key fiscal terms.
  • Detailed cash flows over the life of the asset are included in the report. These cash flows cover a wide range of calculations related to various payments to the government/licensing authority.
  • Interactive Excel models can be used to derive custom valuations, sensitivities and cash flows based on the specific inputs by the user in the model. These custom inputs vary from production data, cost information, price information and fiscal terms information.
Reasons to buy
  • Make well informed investment decisions based on detailed operational analysis and cash flow forecasts
  • Estimate the fair value of your future investment under different economic and fiscal conditions
  • Value a prospective investment target through a comprehensive analysis using focused forecasting and valuation methodologies.
