In the volatile upstream oil & gas sector, traditional consensus platforms often fall short—offering only surface-level metrics like revenue and EPS. Critical KPIs such as CapEx efficiency, reserve replacement ratios, and lifting costs are either buried, inconsistent, or missing entirely. This makes it difficult to:
Identify KPI divergences before they impact earnings
Anticipate capital allocation shifts
Avoid exposure to operators with unsustainable reserves or inefficient CapEx
Quickly model portfolio sensitivity to commodity price changes
By integrating Visible Alpha’s standardized, bottom-up KPIs directly into the Peer Comps tool within S&P Capital IQ Pro, analysts can:
Access over 1,800 standardized, auditable KPIs across production, reserves, CapEx, margins, and more
Run dynamic scenario analysis to evaluate macro and micro risks (e.g., WTI shifts, cost inflation, reserve revisions)
