Contractors and suppliers

Equipment, mobilisation, tax, customs, billing, collections and liquidity.

Investors and lenders

Acquisitions, economic rights, due diligence, scenarios and documentation.

Services and deliverables

What you need to resolve.

Each engagement defines its scope, participating practices and deliverables according to your company’s circumstances.

Market entry, re-entry and acquisitions

Before entering a partnership, acquiring an interest or resuming operations.

We review structures, contracts, permits and legacy obligations through the relevant practices, bringing together legal, tax and financial findings with the business assessment.

What you receive: A risk matrix, outstanding-document list and actions to structure the transaction.

Legal →

Financial assessment of projects

When you need to assess investment, costs and cash flow.

We model budgets and scenarios for prices, production, investment and collections, using documented technical assumptions and distinguishing sustaining investment from growth.

What you receive: A financial model, sensitivity analysis and explanation of the assumptions driving the outcome.

Financial Advisory →

Supplier contracts and collections

Before mobilising equipment, personnel or trade credit.

We assess the contracting and paying entities, service acceptance, retention terms and guarantees, connecting these conditions with working capital and customer concentration.

What you receive: A contract and collection map, customer exposure assessment and liquidity scenarios.

Financial Advisory →

Tax, customs and international operations

For equipment, spare parts and cross-border services.

We review temporary or permanent imports, documentation, valuation, service taxation and related-party transactions in light of your activities and structure.

What you receive: An obligations matrix, documentation roadmap and tax and customs priorities.

Customs & International Trade →

Cost and execution controls

During rehabilitation, expansion or construction contracting.

We connect procurement, inventories, acceptance records, invoices and budgets, reviewing controls to explain differences between commitments, incurred expenditure, payments and documented progress.

What you receive: An execution dashboard, reconciliations and control recommendations with assigned owners.

Risk & Compliance →

Counterparties, compliance and payments

Before contracting, financing or executing a transaction.

We review identity, ownership, documentation and flows of goods and funds, coordinating applicable-authorisation analysis with the legal and compliance practices.

What you receive: A counterparty file, transaction map and matters requiring validation.

Risk & Compliance →

Reserves, productivity and facility-integrity assumptions require information and review by technical specialists when the engagement depends on them.

From resources to cash flow

Three dimensions that must align.

An opportunity needs delivery capacity, clear rights and a route to realisable income.

Volumes

What can be produced, provided and delivered.

Rights

Who may operate, contract and sell, and under which conditions.

Cash flow

Who finances, who pays and when funds become available.

Insight for decisions

Oil and gas, explained through the business.

Brief guides to prepare a conversation, review a project and identify the necessary documentation.

For contractors and suppliers

A sound contract also needs a collection roadmap.

The oil group’s name does not necessarily identify the entity obliged to pay. Before mobilising resources, review the contracting entity, service acceptance, retention terms, guarantees and invoice documentation. Compare expected margins with the period over which the company will finance its costs. Delayed collections can consume liquidity even when a contract remains profitable in accounting terms.

Documents to get started: Purchase order, contract, acceptance record, invoice and evidence of previous payments.

For investors and lenders

From announcement to executed investment.

Read guide +

Interest, contracts, budgets, financing and disbursement are different milestones. Maintenance may progress while expansion remains under evaluation. To assess service demand, identify components with approved budgets and procurement. To assess new capital, reconcile equity contributions, loans, equipment, works and reinvestment, specifying the period and avoiding duplication across operators, partners and contractors.

Documents to get started: Approved budget, financing, construction contracts and disbursement evidence.

For acquisitions and rehabilitation

Mature fields: assessing the cost of sustaining production.

Read guide +

A field’s age does not determine profitability on its own. Assessment should distinguish reservoir behaviour from equipment availability and consider produced water, maintenance, infrastructure and liabilities. A financial model needs a documented technical profile, sustaining investment and shutdown scenarios. Reserves and production performance require technical specialists; the business assessment connects their work with rights, costs and cash flow.

Documents to get started: Technical report, operating history, investment plan and abandonment obligations.

For gas projects and infrastructure

Gas: the buyer is part of the project.

Read guide +

A gas resource needs a commercial and physical connection: treatment, compression, transport and a buyer. Contracts should connect volume, quality, availability, prices and payment terms. Distinguish production, reinjection, delivery and collections. For shared or cross-border developments, assessment also covers allocation of rights, investment, measurement and each party’s obligations.

Documents to get started: Purchase agreement, transport capacity, specifications and payment mechanism.

Twelve questions before investing or contracting.
