Oil & Gas beginner...

Hey guys,

Targeting Energy IB (Houston) and currently grinding through NAV modeling.

One thing I noticed is that NAV models feel like pure "unlevered asset valuations" and don't really touch the financing/structuring side.

  1. How much do you actually advise on the capital stack? Are you pitching the specific mix of Debt/Equity or is that mostly handed off to LevFin/DCM?
  2. Do Coverage juniors build the RBL (Borrowing Base) models from scratch, or is that usually provided by other team?
  3. If a deal involves Midstream/LNG, do we actually touch Project Finance  models, or is that a separate world?

Appreciate any insights. Cheers!
