Our Profession

We Help Clients define an operating model covering all dimensions of capital expenditure—from technical processes to mind-sets and behaviors—and manage small projects as rigorously as large ones in order to capture savings of 20 to 30 percent.

A Design-to-Value Approach
A leading regional oil and gas company saw its capital expenditure rise threefold in 10 years, while production grew by just 2 percent. We helped the client adopt a design-to-value approach, it identified five value levers that saved 30 percent of the total cost of ownership in its tank farms, and 40 percent in gas conditioning.
Value-Creation Opportunities
An Eastern European national oil company embarking on a huge program to modernize its refineries sought our support with identifying the biggest value-creation opportunities. We helped the client achieve a 30 percent reduction in the level of investment while seeing a decline of only 1 percent in commodity yield and revenue.
