Portfolio Optimization

In an increasingly uncertain E&P environment, with sustained low oil prices, squeezed margins and limited capital availability, oil and gas producing companies must optimize their portfolios to remain competitive.

S&P Global upstream oil and gas consultants work closely with you to conduct a thorough analysis of your current portfolio and assess strategic options, with the aim of establishing an optimal portfolio based on your company's starting position, competitive advantage and goals. We will detect portfolio-wide risks, assess where synergies exist or can be found, and identify acquisition and divestment opportunities.

We help clients answer questions such as:

  • How do I balance value creation and production/reserves growth?
  • How should I allocate capital across my portfolio to meet my objectives?
  • What is the right asset class mix?
  • Are the dynamics of my portfolio complementary or dysfunctional, and how do I improve them?
  • How do I manage risk and reward across my portfolio?
  • Which geographies/countries provide optimal investment places for my company?
  • Which assets should I divest?

S&P Global upstream consultants help E&P companies and investors in upstream oil and gas find new opportunities, ranging from entry to new countries and basins, to identification of assets and companies for acquisition.

Opportunity identification, screening and analysis follows a structured process analyzing various metrics, sourced from robust S&P Global databases and supported by our consultants' expertise and use of established methodologies.

We help clients answer these types of questions:

  • How does my company/business unit compare to those of my peers?
  • What are the best comparable metrics and KPIs to use as comparisons?
  • What are the "best in class" performance areas in my company?

Industry Success Stories

Developing a global independent's E&P business strategy

A global independent needed to evaluate its portfolio in light of lower oil prices. In evaluating the company’s portfolio, S&P Global identified a gap in short-term reserves growth. The independent decided to pursue deals that would boost near-term reserves as well as farm down lower-value assets to divert capital to other areas.

Providing corporate strategy support for a major IOC

A major IOC asked S&P Global to examine the impact of lower oil prices on its upstream portfolio strategy. Our upstream consultants evaluated the portfolio in the context of five major themes, presenting the findings in five separate workshops. The study provided the IOC with tactical recommendations for executing its long-term strategy.

Developing an international M&A strategy for an Asian NOC

A NOC asked S&P Global to help set its M&A strategy. Our consultants developed six possible paths – estimating the impact of each on reserves, production, capex and NPV – and created a tool to rank 600 contracts. The NOC’s board accepted our experts’ proposed hybrid strategy and used the ranking tool to win a deal in Malaysia.

Benchmarking exploration performance for a major E&P company

A European major asked S&P Global to assess the exploration performance of eight companies, focusing on corporate performance, strategy and portfolio robustness. S&P Global profiled each company, enabling the client to benchmark its spending, cost and operational performance to those of its peers and identify areas for future initiatives.

Assisting a NOC with its upstream growth strategy

A Southeast Asian NOC’s domestic reserves and production were insufficient to meet country energy needs.
