For operators
Turn underperformance into a prioritised action plan.
Understand what is holding performance back, which interventions are worth pursuing and how to improve the economics of the next programme.

Better field performance.
Stronger investment decisions.
We help oil and gas operators and investors assess asset performance, prioritise operational improvements and test the assumptions behind investment decisions.

Two perspectives. One standard of evidence.
A clearer view of your next decision.
Focused senior teams connect the technical reality of an asset with the financial consequence of each choice.
For investors
Test the asset behind the investment case.
Challenge the technical and commercial assumptions behind an acquisition, investment or development plan before committing to the next stage.
Explore investor servicesStart with the question
The issue is rarely isolated.
A field problem can begin in the reservoir, appear at the well, become constrained at surface and only become visible when value is lost.
- 01Where is production being lost?
Connect reservoir and well performance with intervention options and surface constraints.
- 02What is driving well cost and NPT?
Review engineering choices, operational performance and drilling-service economics together.
- 03Which development option creates the strongest case?
Compare production, facilities, capital requirements, operating costs and implementation risk.
- 04Which assumptions could change the investment decision?
Make material uncertainties explicit before capital is committed.
Focused engagements
Defined questions. Practical outputs.
Each assignment begins with a clear decision, an agreed data set and a scope that can be delivered by a senior specialist team.
For operators
Assess performance, explain variance and prioritise the next programme.
01
Asset performance
Production Performance Review
An integrated review of production performance, well opportunities and operational constraints for a defined asset or well set.
- Prioritised register of losses, constraints and opportunities
- Transparent view of cost, timing and economic potential
- Practical 90-day action plan with decision points and owners
Scope and schedule follow a data-readiness review.
02
Well delivery
Drilling Cost & Performance Review
A combined technical and commercial review of a defined drilling campaign or comparable well set.
- AFE-to-actual cost bridge and material variance drivers
- Review of NPT, service scope and contract interfaces
- Prioritised changes for the next programme or tender cycle
Comparisons account for well complexity and operating conditions.
For investors
Separate material asset questions from the noise of the data room.
03
Initial screening
Investor Red-Flag Review
A focused initial review of the technical and commercial assumptions in an upstream asset opportunity.
- Material risks, information gaps and questions for the seller
- Review of production, CAPEX, OPEX and schedule assumptions
- Clear recommendation for the next diligence stage
Designed for an early decision—not as reserves certification or an audit opinion.
04
Detailed assessment
Integrated Technical & Commercial DD
A deeper assessment connecting subsurface, wells, facilities, contracts and economics in one transparent decision model.
- Evidence and assumptions register across disciplines
- Development scenarios and range of outcomes
- Decision materials for the investment committee
Scope is tailored to the transaction, available evidence and reliance requirements.
Selected experience
Experience shaped inside real operating decisions.
The examples below describe work performed by individual specialists in prior professional roles. They are not presented as corporate case studies of a new firm.
01Producing assets
Production & intervention
Connecting reservoir behaviour, well performance and intervention choices.
Context Mature producing assets with competing well opportunities and operational constraints.
Contribution Forecast review, candidate screening, intervention economics and prioritisation.
Decision value A clearer sequence of actions, evidence gaps and investment choices.
02Complex wells
Drilling & service performance
Explaining where well cost, schedule and contractor performance diverge.
Context Drilling programmes involving multiple service interfaces and demanding well conditions.
Contribution AFE review, time-depth analysis, NPT assessment, tendering and contractor coordination.
Decision value Technical and commercial actions for the next well or procurement cycle.
03Investment decisions
Asset economics & governance
Testing whether development assumptions support the capital decision.
Context Upstream development and investment decisions under fiscal, contractual and delivery uncertainty.
Contribution Integrated economics, cost recovery, scenario modelling, budget challenge and decision support.
Decision value Transparent assumptions and a defensible range of outcomes for management review.
04Project delivery
Facilities & development
Bringing technical feasibility and delivery reality into the field plan.
Context Facilities and development programmes spanning design, procurement, construction and commissioning.
Contribution FEED and EPC interfaces, capacity constraints, schedule challenge and contractor alignment.
Decision value A more realistic view of scope, dependencies, capital and implementation risk.
How we work
From evidence to a practical next step.
Senior specialists stay close to the question, the analysis and the conversation with your team.
- 01
Frame the decision
Agree the business question, scope, data requirements, team and deliverables.
- 02
Review the evidence
Test the available information across the relevant disciplines and identify material gaps.
- 03
Compare the options
Assess technical feasibility, economic outcomes and implementation requirements using explicit assumptions.
- 04
Support the next step
Present the findings, agree priorities and, where commissioned, support delivery and performance tracking.
Senior team model
The right disciplines around one question.
Our specialists bring experience from operating companies, oilfield services and major engineering projects across Middle East upstream environments.
Asset development
Reservoir studies, production forecasting, field-development choices and stakeholder alignment.
Wells & interventions
Drilling engineering, workover, well services, NPT, AFE and contractor performance.
Facilities & delivery
Concept selection, FEED, EPC interfaces, procurement, construction and commissioning.
Economics & contracts
Investment models, OPEX and CAPEX, fiscal assumptions, cost control and commercial structures.
Named biographies and verified project credentials can be provided for a defined scope and shared with the relevant approvals.
What you receive
A clear result your team can work with.
Deliverables are agreed at the start. Depending on scope, they may include an executive memo, a technical review, an editable economic model and an implementation roadmap.

A focused first conversation
What decision are you working towards?
Bring a brief, non-confidential outline of the asset, operating challenge or investment question. We will discuss whether a focused review is the right next step.
