Mid-cap E&P — HQ United States. Oil & gas valuation, proved reserves, production, break-even, net-asset-value and jurisdiction-risk screen.
Category Mid-cap E&PRegion N. AmericaCEO David Rockecharlie (2021)Jurisdiction risk Low (23)

Overview

Crescent Energy is a KKR-affiliated, acquisition-driven mid-cap E&P built by rolling up mature, cash-generative US assets — anchored in the Eagle Ford (bolstered by the 2024 SilverBow and 2025 Ridgemar deals) and complemented by Uinta/Rockies liquids.

The story is scale-through-M&A: 976 MMBoe of proved reserves (+38% Y/Y) and PV-10 near $8.6bn, but at the cost of a $5.5bn debt load, ~1.5x leverage and sharp dilution. Offers a diversified, low-decline, oil-weighted US onshore portfolio.

Its EV/EBITDA of 4.1x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 23.0% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $8.71/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Crescent Energy scores 54/100, strongest on growth (87/100). Sub-scores: value 64, quality 45, growth 87, risk 65 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Crescent Energy holds approximately 0.98 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 260 thousand boe/d (58% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 10.3 years. Break-even: ~$40 (WTI FCF breakeven) — Low-decline, oil-weighted base with active hedging supports FCF into the low-$40s WTI.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Crescent Energy, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
