Overview

Maurel & Prom is a Gabon-centered mid-cap upstream producer (Ezanga oil core), diversified into Angola offshore oil, Tanzania gas (post-Wentworth) and a Venezuela Lake Maracaibo interest, controlled ~71% by Indonesia's Pertamina since 2017.

FY2025 revenue fell ~29% to ~$0.58bn on lower oil prices, but net income jumped to ~$0.41bn on one-off/tax items; the company runs a net cash position (~$0.28bn) yet FCF turned slightly negative on elevated capex. Thin free float and Pertamina control limit M&A optionality and liquidity.

Its EV/EBITDA of 5.9x is above the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 14.4% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $8.74/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Maurel & Prom scores 61/100, strongest on valuation (73/100). Sub-scores: value 73, quality 58, growth 47, risk 48 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Maurel & Prom holds approximately 0.17 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 37 thousand boe/d (70% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 12.3 years. Break-even: ~$40 (Brent breakeven) — Low-cost onshore Gabon oil (Ezanga) anchors a full-cycle Brent breakeven around $40/bbl; net cash balance sheet adds resilience through the cycle.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Maurel & Prom, 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..
