How this was calculated
PV10: The SEC-mandated standardized measure for oil and gas reserves valuation. Uses a fixed 10% annual discount rate applied to estimated future net revenues.
Usage: PV10 is the most common metric for comparing reserve values across companies and properties. It appears in 10-K filings, reserves reports, and A&D evaluations.

PV10 (Present Value at 10%) is the industry-standard metric for valuing proved oil and gas reserves. Required by SEC regulation S-X Rule 4-10, PV10 discounts estimated future net revenues from proved reserves at an annual rate of 10%. It provides a standardized basis for comparing reserve values across operators and properties, and is the primary metric used in acquisitions and divestitures.
While PV10 uses a fixed discount rate regardless of current interest rates or risk profiles, it remains the benchmark because of its universality. More sophisticated analyses use risk-adjusted discount rates or probabilistic approaches. Built by Groundwork Analytics.
