When it comes to valuing assets and companies in the oil and gas industry, the valuation tools that are typically used in other industries may not be adequate or appropriate for the valuation of an exploration and production (E&P) or midstream company. That’s why it’s critical to work with valuation professionals who have specific and significant experience and expertise in the industry – those who understand how commodity volatility, changes in production, and federal laws and regulations, as well as the scientific and technical data and characteristics, impact the evaluation of an E&P or midstream company.
