Capital Expenditure Advisory

Forensic energy Capex governance

Independent capital expenditure validation and commercial risk profiling across upstream, LNG, and refining developments throughout the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia.

Core Practices

Empirical scrutiny across project stages

Pre-Sanction Assurance

Pre-FID estimate validation

Rigorous baseline reviews benchmarked against thirty-five years of regional execution data. We uncover latent supply chain escalation, unrealized market premiums, and unhedged fabrication risks before sanction commitments are locked.

Commercial Governance

EPC risk transfer audits

Critical structural review of lump-sum and reimbursable contract models. We evaluate variation claim mechanisms, delay indemnities, and material escalation clauses to protect owner capital prior to award execution.

Forensic Review

Yard dispute variance appraisal

Independent technical investigation of contractor cost growth, yard schedule drift, and disputed variation claims. We deliver objective commercial determinations grounded in physical progress metrics and procurement ledgers.

Field Reality

Estimating is the structured discipline of pricing risk before the first steel is cut.

Theoretical models cannot absorb yard congestion or regional logistics volatility. Capital discipline demands empirical field verification at every investment milestone.
