Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) Reserve Replacement Ratio % Explanation
Reserve Replacement Ratio % is a metric used by investors to judge an oil company's operating performance. It measures the amount of proved reserves added to a company's reserve base during the year, relative to the amount of oil and gas that the company has produced.
According to conventional market wisdom, when demand is stable, a company's reserve-replacement ratio must be at least 100% for the company to sustain current production levels. Any figure greater than 100% likely indicates that the company has room for growth. Conversely, any number less than 100% telegraphs a cause for concern that the company may soon run out of oil.
This ratio can sometimes be affected by new technologies, changes to supply and demand dynamics and fluctuating oil prices. A high reserve-replacement ratio achieved through organic replacement is considered better than a high reserve-replacement ratio achieved through purchasing proved reserves.
