I Need An Experienced Person Who Can Do Formulas For Oilgas Energy Ra

I need an experienced person who can do formulas for oil/gas energy ratios. I need the formulas done in Excel (see attached Excel to fill in). The company it needs to be done for is Apache. I have attached the company's 2017 financial statements as well as an Excel file named XLS. Please use these formulas to find what I need, simply plugging in the numbers from Apache’s statement into the example Excel I have attached.

Additionally, I have included a sample of the group project, specifically section 3 VI vi, which covers Energy Specific Ratios:

- Reserves replacement ratios

- Reserve life ratio

- Net to gross wells ratio

- Average reserves per well ratio

- Average daily production per well ratio

- Cost ratio per BOE ratio (Note: Select one formula, but be consistent)

- DD&A per BOE ratio

- Value of proved reserve additions per BOE ratio (Note: Select one formula, but be consistent)

Please ensure all formulas are applied accurately, and the calculations are based on the provided financial data and ratios.

Paper For Above instruction

Understanding and analyzing energy ratios, particularly in the oil and gas industry, play a crucial role in assessing company performance, reserve sustainability, and operational efficiency. This paper discusses the significance of energy-specific ratios, the formulas used to compute them, and their practical application, particularly focusing on the case of Apache Corporation's 2017 financial data. It emphasizes how these ratios inform investment decisions, operational strategies, and overall industry health.

Introduction

The oil and gas sector is highly complex, with numerous financial and operational indicators vital for stakeholders such as investors, managers, and regulators. Among these, energy-specific ratios provide insights into a company's reserve replacement capability, efficiency in production, and economic viability of its reserves. Understanding how to accurately compute these ratios using financial statements and operational data is essential for comprehensive industry analysis.

Energy Replacements and Reserve Metrics

Reserves replacement ratio (RRR) measures how effectively a company replaces the oil and gas it produces through new discoveries or acquisitions. The formula typically involves dividing reserve additions by production over the same period. Accurate calculation requires detailed reserve and production data, which can be extracted from the company's financial disclosures and reserve reports.

Reserve life ratio (RLR) estimates how long the current reserves will last at the current production rate. It involves dividing the total proved reserves by the annual production, offering a predictive measure of reserve longevity and guiding strategic planning.

Operational Efficiency Ratios

The net to gross wells ratio reflects the proportion of productive wells to the total wells drilled or operated, providing insight into operational efficiency and success rates. The average reserves per well and the average daily production per well ratios help assess the productivity of wells and the efficiency of resource extraction efforts.

Cost and Valuation Ratios

Cost ratio per BOE (Barrel of Oil Equivalent) and DD&A (Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization) per BOE are essential for evaluating the cost structure and profitability of reserves. Selecting a single consistent formula to analyze these ratios ensures coherent financial assessments. Value of proved reserves adds a valuation perspective, indicating the worth of reserves based on current or projected prices.

Methodology

Applying Excel formulas to financial data involves mapping each component—reserves, production, costs—into the corresponding ratio formulas. Using Apache’s 2017 financial statements and operational reports, variables are input into predefined Excel templates, which compute these ratios automatically. Consistency in formula selection, especially for cost and value ratios, ensures comparability over time and industry standards.

Conclusion

Proficiency in calculating energy-specific ratios using Excel and financial data is invaluable for thorough industry analysis. By understanding and applying these formulas to Apache's 2017 data, stakeholders can derive meaningful insights into reserve replacement, operational efficiency, and financial health. Accurate and consistent calculation of these ratios informs strategic decisions, investment evaluations, and performance benchmarking in the dynamic oil and gas sector.
