East Daley Capital launches new solution to channel check midstream energy companies

The volatility in oil prices paired with the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic created a significant amount of uncertainty for energy market demand, supply, and price forecasts. In addition, the timing of bringing production back online is an unknown factor that typically drives short-term volumes and earnings and long-term growth.

The energy market typically trades based on oil prices and company guidance, but both guidance and oil prices have a lot of uncertainty. However, midstream company earnings trend with US hydrocarbon production. This means without more real-time data and models that allow sensitivity analysis, investors can be left in the dark in their pricing of midstream equity risk or how to evaluate future cash flows in the midstream sector.

“The midstream sector is much more difficult to evaluate than other more conventional market sectors, and therefore requires an unconventional approach to analysing equities,” said Justin Carlson, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at East Daley. “Energy assets will perform differently depending on commodity type, basin location and counterparty exposure. East Daley has already identified the most optimal data sources to properly channel check the midstream market and arms investors with the most accurate insights on an individual company’s opportunity and risk.”

These sources include:

• Asset-level financial analysis driven by robust in-house commodity expertise.
• Real-time G&P flow data leveraging natural gas pipeline meter points across North America.
• An asset database of 1100+ midstream assets that can be segmented by basin, commodity, and asset type to pinpoint risks and opportunities.
• Proprietary in-house modelling and data enhancement that identifies counterparty risk, real-time rig allocation, individual G&P systems, and sensitivity analysis.
• East Daley connects all of these data points together to provide a holistic view on midstream companies.

The Capital Markets solution is not available anywhere else in the market and provides an unbiased, third party perspective including regular updates and insights down to the asset-level on company performance.

“It’s a tough environment for supply and demand forecasts and there is uncertainty and exposure in the market,” added Rob Wilson, Executive Director, Capital Markets at East Daley. “We anticipate that the mispricing issue will be more severe in the wake of pandemic-related impacts which is why having access to enhanced data, models and insights is critical to making the most informed and accurate decisions with investment strategies.”
