Harness the combined power of S&P Capital IQ Pro and Visible Alpha to gain a competitive edge in upstream oil & gas investing.

The Challenge

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)
