Advisory
Independent front‑end advice.
For operators, contractors and investors who need an experienced view before committing to FEED, FID or a contract, without hiring a full team.
What I do
Six ways to work together.
Examples in cases.
Independent FEL / Pre-FEED review
A second pair of eyes before a gate: are the concept, assumptions and interfaces strong enough for DRB, FEED entry or FID?
- — Gate-readiness review
- — Assumption and interface check
- — Clear go / fix / stop findings
Concept select & option screening
Structure the option space, the selection criteria and the economics so the recommended concept survives scrutiny.
- — Option screening
- — Selection criteria and scoring
- — CAPEX and NPV comparison
Brownfield constraint analysis
Find the binding constraint in a mature asset (water, gas, power, separation) and sequence what to buy and when.
- — Debottlenecking
- — Constraint migration
- — Investment sequencing
EPC bid & contract strategy
When bids land far above the estimate: decompose the gap, quantify risk per package and build renegotiation scenarios.
- — Bid-to-estimate analysis
- — Risk allocation
- — Renegotiation scenarios
Expert calls
One-hour calls for investors, consultants and operators on upstream development, brownfield and FEL topics.
- — Directly or via GLG
- — Iraq, Kurdistan, Gulf, CIS
- — Facilities and gas
FEL & Concept Select workshops
One- or two-day workshops for engineering teams, built on real gate cases rather than textbook theory.
- — FEL1–FEL2 process
- — Concept select in practice
- — Decision quality
Formats
From one call to a full study.
Terms: expert calls are charged by the hour, directly or through GLG; review sprints at a fixed fee agreed on scope; embedded study work at a day rate, with travel costs billed separately. The first 30-minute call is free.
