Case Studies

Strategic Energy Assets on the Market

Customer Challenge
A large energy company announced it was putting its assets in Thailand up for sale. The company needed to assess market value, determine a fair sales price and identify potential bidders.

Solution
Using a time-tested proprietary model, Energy analysts issued a report forecasting a sales price between $1.0-$1.2 billion and a list of potential bidders.

Result
The property sold for $1.0 billion to an identified potential bidder.

M&A Analysis

Customer Challenge
Energy companies need to determine the portfolio transition trends of their North American peers: which companies have been successful and which companies have struggled in transitioning their portfolios to liquids from natural gas. Investors also need to determine who stands to improve their position or, conversely, who is likely to face repeated obstacles.

Solution
As part of an annual M&A customer presentation, Energy identified several companies as struggling in converting their portfolio to liquids.

Result
Shortly after S&P Global issued its report, one of the struggling companies announced a "bold" liquids play acquisition.

Company Play Analysis

Customer Challenge
Energy firms and investors need to track public and private companies involved in developing unconventional oil & gas plays and determine which companies are best positioned for financial success.

Solution
We examine and write reports on the technical merits and successes of each North American unconventional play, identifying companies that are well positioned for success.

Result
Two months after S&P Global argued that a specific private company could take advantage of its higher stock market valuation, the company announced its initial public offering.

Company Valuation Research

Customer Challenge
Financial firms need to determine whether oil and gas companies are trading above or below their net worth. These financial firms need an independent forecast of company oil and gas production.

Solution
Energy analysts follow and write research on scores of oil and gas producers. In a recent report, S&P Global identified a public company that was trading significantly higher than its per share appraised Net Worth of Assets. S&P Global forecasted the company's annual production to be much lower than the company predicted.

Result
Within a month of the S&P Global report, the company lowered its production guidance to near S&P Global forecasted numbers. The company's share price fell 17%.
