Tailored Solutions
Oil & Gas
Specialized energy procurement and risk management for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations in volatile energy markets.
Industry Challenges
Challenges
Oil and gas operations face unique energy procurement challenges driven by production variability, commodity price cycles, and energy-intensive operations. Power procurement must align with production schedules, commodity market conditions, and operational flexibility requirements that differ from traditional commercial operations.
High load variability
Upstream and midstream operations experience significant load variability based on production levels, drilling activity, and facility utilization. Fixed-volume contracts can create cost inefficiencies during downtime, while variable-rate structures must accommodate production-driven consumption patterns.
Exposure to market swings
Oil and gas operations are already exposed to commodity price volatility, making additional energy market exposure particularly problematic. Energy procurement strategies must account for commodity cycle impacts and provide protection against compounding volatility risks.
Alignment with commodity cycles
Energy procurement timing and structure should align with commodity market conditions and production planning. Operators need flexible procurement frameworks that can adapt to changing production schedules and commodity price environments without creating unnecessary cost exposure.

Assess & Strategize
We evaluate your service locations, usage patterns, existing contracts, and risk tolerance to develop a clear, data-driven energy strategy.
Procure & Execute
We secure competitive pricing and contract structures through disciplined market timing, supplier relationships, and precise execution.
Optimize & Monitor
Through continuous monitoring and analysis, we refine strategy over time and identify opportunities across efficiency, incentives, and sustainability.
Use Cases
Common Strategies
Indexed exposure with structured hedges
Indexed pricing tied to market rates allows participation in favorable conditions while structured hedging protects against extreme volatility. We design these frameworks to align with commodity cycles and production schedules, providing flexibility when operations fluctuate.
Flexible procurement aligned to production
Procurement structures that adapt to production schedules and operational variability ensure you're not locked into fixed volumes during downtime. We develop flexible contracts that scale with your operations while maintaining cost control and risk management.
Scenario-based planning
Forward-looking scenario analysis models various market conditions, production levels, and operational changes to inform procurement decisions. This approach supports strategic planning and helps quantify the impact of different procurement strategies on operational costs.
