Powering Operational Excellence & Strategic Resilience with Oil & Gas Consulting

The global oil and gas sector is navigating a period of profound transformation. Price volatility, shifting demand patterns, capital discipline, decarbonisation pressures, digitalisation, and evolving regulatory frameworks are reshaping how companies invest, operate, and grow. At the same time, geopolitical uncertainty and supply chain disruption continue to elevate operational and strategic risks.

Against this backdrop, the ability to make confident, data-driven decisions — and to maintain resilient, high-performing operations — has become critical.

EnergyStrat Consulting supports oil and gas organisations in navigating this complexity with clarity and foresight. Our role is to help clients strengthen operational performance, optimise portfolios, manage risks, and prepare for the energy transition, while continuing to deliver competitive returns across cycles.

Why Oil & Gas Companies Need Strategic Consulting

Oil and gas operators face an increasingly interconnected set of challenges that influence investment quality, operational stability, and long-term competitiveness. These include:

Highly volatile commodity prices impacting cash flows and capital planning
Maturing assets and rising operating costs, especially in brownfield operations
Stricter emissions, methane, and flaring regulations
Growing expectations for ESG performance from investors and customers
Uncertain long-term demand due to transition fuels, electrification, and policy shifts
Ageing infrastructure and reliability risks
Talent shortages in subsurface, operations, and digital capabilities
Attractive but complex opportunities in CCUS, hydrogen, and petrochemical integration

Without clear strategic direction and an integrated, risk-aware approach, organisations may experience margin erosion, stranded assets, operational inefficiencies, and misalignment with evolving market realities.

Our consulting services help companies anticipate change, reduce uncertainty, and build strategies that are both commercially sound and operationally resilient.

Our Oil & Gas Consulting Services

1. Upstream Strategy & Portfolio Stewardship

We help E&P companies evaluate basin competitiveness, subsurface potential, well productivity, decline curves, reserves quality, and development options. Our advisory spans exploration prioritisation, capital allocation, field development planning, and portfolio optimisation — enabling clients to balance risk, return, and resource longevity.

2. Operational Excellence & Asset Performance Improvement

We support operators in enhancing production efficiency, reducing OPEX, improving uptime, and strengthening asset integrity. Our work includes maintenance strategy optimisation, digital field enablement, predictive analytics, workflow redesign, and productivity programs tailored to onshore, offshore, and unconventional operations.

3. Midstream & Infrastructure Advisory

We evaluate and optimise pipelines, gathering systems, storage terminals, LNG facilities, and processing infrastructure. Our services include throughput modelling, tariff analysis, logistics optimisation, and commercial structuring of midstream assets to maximise utilisation and reliability.

4. Downstream, Refining & Petrochemical Transformation

Refiners and integrated players face complex margin pressures and evolving product demand. We provide end-to-end support across energy efficiency, yield uplift, decarbonisation pathways, petrochemical integration, feedstock strategies, asset modernisation, and long-term competitiveness planning.

5. Digital Transformation & Technology Enablement

Digital adoption remains a critical lever for cost reduction and operational reliability. We guide clients through digital roadmap development, deployment of IoT and advanced sensors, predictive maintenance, SCADA/automation upgrades, and real-time operations optimisation.

6. Energy Transition, CCUS & Low-Carbon Strategy

We develop credible low-carbon pathways including methane reduction, flaring elimination, CCS/CCUS evaluation, renewable integration into O&G operations, hydrogen value chains, and net-zero strategy planning. Our frameworks help companies meet regulatory expectations while maintaining operational performance.

7. Commercial Strategy, Market Intelligence & Price Forecasting

We provide strategic insights across crude, gas, LNG, NGLs, refined products, petrochemicals, and emerging transition fuels. Our advisory includes long-term outlooks, trading insights, supply-demand balancing, arbitrage analysis, and regulatory scenario modelling to inform commercial and investment decisions.

8. M&A, Target Screening & Strategic Investment Advisory

We support investors and energy companies through full-cycle investment evaluations — including commercial due diligence, subsurface screening, asset benchmarking, integration assessment, and transition-risk analytics. Our approach strengthens decision-making for acquisitions, divestments, and new-market entry.
