TITLE: MW Petroleum Corporation: A Valuation Approach on Real Assets ABSTRACTOR SUMMARY Valuation is the estimation of an asset’s value, whether real or financial, based on variables perceived to be related to future investment returns, on comparison with similar assets, or, when relevant, on estimates of immediate liquidation proceeds (Pinto, Henry, Robinson, Stowe; 2010). Correct valuation of real assets can present challenges to financial analysts. Different models can be used to arrive at…
3. Differences between APV and option valuation Valuing MW Acquisition by using APV method assumes in practice that exploiting of all MW’s reserves is certain and happens right after the acquisition. In other words, the APV method excludes the flexibility in future decision making. In this case, Apache has both an option to defer the exploiting of reserves into future and Apache may also choose not to exploit the MW reserves at all. As some of MW’s reserves are actually real options, the APV valuation…
Draft MW Petroleum Corporation (A) Background: In late 1990, the group of Amoco Corporation and Apache Corporation had begun talking regarding the possible acquisition of MW Petroleum from Amoco to Apache. MW Petroleum Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amoco Corporation which has its own reserves, management team and with full ownership in geologic and engineering data. MW Petroleum, a free-standing exploration company that was even as large as some of independent oil companies. It…
MW Petroleum Corporation Situation Overview: Amoco Corporation conducted an extensive review of its cost structure and profitability, leading to major restructurings to better focus on its core businesses. The result of this was a divestment of the middle section of its assets along the marginal curve. Thus, creating MW Petroleum Corporation – a new, free-standing exploration and production oil and gas company. MW was offered to a number of targeted international petroleum concerns, but the most…
MW Petroleum Corporation (A) 1. Structure and execute a DCF valuation of all the MW reserves using APV. How much are the reserves worth? Is your estimate more likely to be biased high or low? What are the sources of bias? Answer: The DCF valuation of all the MW reserves using APV indicates that the net worth of the portfolio is around $516.30 million. The estimate is more likely to be biased on the higher side. REVENUES: The data for the projections was collected by Morgan…

Petroleum is an oily, thick flammable liquid, a mixture of various solid, liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are molecules that comprise of Hydrogen and Carbon. Petroleum is the general term for "unprocessed" crude oil. It is present beneath the Earth's surface (Lithosphere) and forms when trapped, decomposed dead organisms buried in the sedimentary rock, and are heated under the immense pressure of new sedimentary layers over time (fossil fuel). The heat and pressure distilled the organic…

specialized in petroleum engineering. Therefore I submit my application for the position of MSc Degree in Petroleum Geoscience for Reservoir Development and Production, University of Manchester. I am confident that I have the technical qualifications to meet the course requirements as I strongly believe by completing this course will serve my goal of a career in Oil and Gas industry or involved in research oriented organization. I have completed a four years Degree of engineering in Petroleum at UTM and…
Petroleum is formed by the remains of fossilized plants and animals that became buried in the ocean under silt and sand. It takes millions of years for its formation. We are depleting it at a rapid pace and that is why it is considered a non-renewable resource. There are over 4,000 oil fields around the world. One of the biggest oil fields is Ghawar, in Saudi Arabia. They produce about 4.5 million barrels of oil per day. There are three stages of oil extraction; Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary…
