UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS

Industry Trends

The oil and gas industry is subject to increased price volatility caused by structural market forces and unpredictable events that can constrain supply or demand. Furthermore, technological innovations continue to drive productivity and costs, pushing the frontiers for non-conventional resources. International oil and gas companies and national oil companies are therefore under increasing pressure to thoroughly evaluate the robustness of business plans under a broader range of scenarios and conditions in order to better plan their projects and maximize value for their stakeholders.

In these turbulent times, Nexant's experience and understanding of the technical and commercial issues of the oil and gas industry offers a crucial edge to our customers. Through our unique integrated capabilities, we identify and evaluate value chain synergy and opportunities that other consulting companies miss.
