Gas Strategies Midstream and Markets gas consulting
Gas Strategies’ Midstream & Markets consulting is defined by the challenges our clients face; from trying to determine the future evolution of the energy markets, understanding what infrastructure is needed and what commercial structures can our clients put in place to successfully operate in these future environments.
Our advice ranges from: strategy development, market analysis, corporate and competitor analysis, public policy and regulation, valuations, commercial arrangements and business change. We work closely with our clients to find the right solution that works for them.
The challenges our clients face vary by the company they are, by geography and by sector. In Europe the challenge is where does gas sit regarding security of supply? Is this impacted by volatile energy prices and policy calling for more renewable power generation to be built? In the MENA region the value of gas is being distorted between internal demand and external revenue as domestic future power increases the stress between these two needs. Whereas other developing nations with gas and power requirements look for shaping policy and regulatory codes to attract investment to build the necessary energy infrastructure.
Getting value midstream and in your market operations
The Midstream and Markets team brings expertise, experience and a way to work with clients to tackle these challenges. Our clients seek to optimise their business performance but they have to do that in a shifting political, economic and regulatory environment.
We will help you in the following areas:

- Evaluate supply and purchase strategies – sales and sourcing options
- Assess new infrastructure opportunities - economic modelling and investment analysis
- Analyse the impact of regulatory, environmental and policy requirements on your midstream operations – how to plan for a carbon free environment?
- Process design – how good are your processes, what happens when personnel leave?
- Review commercial arrangements to maximise value
