What We Do

Energy Asset & Project Advisory

We assess the operational, development, and economic fundamentals of energy assets and projects to maximize value, mitigate risks, and support investment decisions.

Two Core Offerings

01

Investment & Opportunity Evaluation

Early stage screening and Asset Prioritization

Recommended when a client must determine whether an individual or competing opportunity warrants further work, management attention, or capital exposure.

The Decision:
Is this opportunity worth progressing?

02

Asset & Project Due Diligence

Independent review of a defined transaction

Deployed when a specific asset, project, or transaction is under active consideration and the underlying assumptions require rigorous scrutiny.

The Decision:
Does the asset or project support the case being presented?

01 · Early Stage Screening & Asset Prioritization

Investment & Opportunity Evaluation

Before committing significant engineering resources, team bandwidth, or capital, clients must determine if an opportunity is sufficiently attractive to advance. We evaluate single or competing development opportunities to isolate the factors driving value, identify assumptions requiring further definition, and uncover potential alternatives.

Strategic Inquiries We Resolve:

  • Is the opportunity technically viable and commercially sound?
  • Which development concept or phasing option yields the strongest investment case?
  • How does this asset compare with competing allocations of capital?
  • Which technical and economic assumptions exert the greatest influence on value?
  • What critical uncertainties must be resolved before the opportunity advances?

Analytical Pillars

Asset & Production

Resource or reserves basis, production potential, well requirements and key subsurface assumptions.

Development & Execution

Development concepts, facilities and infrastructure, preliminary CAPEX, schedule and execution considerations.

Commercial & Economics

Commercial assumptions, market or fiscal considerations, OPEX, ARO / ABEX, economics, sensitivities and key value drivers.

Alternatives & Uncertainty

Competing concepts, phasing options, downside and upside cases, unresolved uncertainties and areas where additional definition could improve value.

Typical outcome

A clearer basis to advance, reshape, compare, defer or discontinue an opportunity; and to focus the next stage of work where it matters most.

As an opportunity matures, the investment inquiry shifts from broad optionality to transaction validation.

02 · Defined Asset / Project Review

Asset & Project Due Diligence

We provide independent technical and commercial due diligence when a defined asset, project, or transaction requires deeper evaluation to support acquisitions, divestments, joint ventures, project financing, or major capital approvals. We stress-test the assumptions underpinning the technical case, isolate material risks, and determine exactly how our findings alter value, capital requirements, timing, or transaction structures.

Scope of Assessment

Asset & Production

Reserves and resources, production history and forecasts, well performance, development requirements and key uncertainties affecting production or recoverability.

Development & Execution

Development concept, project maturity, supply chain and execution strategies, wells / facilities / infrastructure design feasibility, CAPEX benchmarking, and schedule logic.

Operations & Commercial

Operating history, facility uptime and reliability, brownfield integration, structural OPEX, infrastructure bottlenecks, and material contract dependencies.

Economics & Value

Cash flow modeling, asset valuation sensitivities, downside protections, upside options, and the direct financial impact of technical findings.

The Strategic Result

Our assessment provides clarity on:

  • Which technical and operational assumptions are well-supported
  • Where the current investment case understates or overstates asset value
  • Unforeseen capital exposure, operational liabilities, or schedule risks
  • Latent value upside, alternative development paths, or optimization options
  • Critical commercial matters affecting final valuation or transaction terms
  • Whether the overall investment thesis remains fundamentally credible

Engagement Flexibility

Fit-for-purpose Assessments.

Our advisory model adapts to the specific transaction / advisory structure. Our engagements range from rapid red-flag asset reviews to deeply integrated technical and commercial assessments and studies.

We work either directly for principal clients on broader assessments, or take responsibility for a defined work package within a larger transaction or advisory engagement alongside established financial, legal, and environmental advisory firms.
