Mid-cap E&P — HQ United Kingdom. Oil & gas valuation, proved reserves, production, break-even, net-asset-value and jurisdiction-risk screen.
Category Mid-cap E&PRegion EuropeCEO Amjad Bseisu (2010)Jurisdiction risk Low (23)

Overview

UK North Sea late-life operator (Kraken FPSO, Magnus, Sullom Voe terminal) plus Malaysia (PM8/Seligi); expertise in mature-asset and decommissioning management, expanding via acquisitions and a UK production hub role.

Deleveraging story with heavy abandonment obligations and UK Energy Profits Levy exposure. Flags: high decommissioning liabilities, windfall tax, leverage, late-life decline.

Its EV/EBITDA of 2.8x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 32.8% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $10.94/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, EnQuest scores 47/100, strongest on valuation (60/100). Sub-scores: value 60, quality 50, growth 11, risk 58 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

EnQuest holds approximately 0.13 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 43 thousand boe/d (84% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 8.1 years. Break-even: ~$45 (Brent FCF breakeven) — Late-life production with high opex; FCF used to pay down debt and fund decommissioning.

Net asset value (public-source)

For EnQuest, 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..
