Venetus reviewed the vendor model, rebuilt the price decks for crude, LNG and domestic gas, and built and ran the valuation that underpinned the bid: NPV waterfall, EV-to-equity bridge, cost of capital, and NPV and IRR sensitivities across discount rates, debt structures and price scenarios, with option pricing for the earn-out.
