Hostile environments may be familiar territory for the oil and gas industry. However, operators and contracts also have to navigate escalating input costs, supply chain disruption and turbocharged programmes along with the sector’s sharp cyclical swings.

For contractors, incomplete FEED (front end engineering) designs and site investigations compound the unbalanced risk distribution on projects. Meanwhile, clients, consultants and contractors alike struggle as the industry loses expertise to retirement and young talent to other sectors, not least renewables. 

HKA is one of the world’s most experienced providers of consulting, expert and advisory services to the resources sector. For more than four decades, our specialists have been supporting clients on their complex and challenging projects in oil and gas

How our oil and gas experts, consultants and advisors help 

We decode the complex web of causation on distressed projects, and share the lessons from that experience and our in-house CRUX research programme. More than 135 oil and gas projects worldwide were analysed for the Sixth Annual CRUX Insight Report.

Their combined capital expenditure value was $838 billion, and the impact of claims and disputes was hugely significant. Extensions of time sought by contractors would add almost two thirds (70.9%) to the average schedule, while disputed costs exceeded 40.2% of a typical project’s committed capital expenditure

Much of this colossal toll on oil and gas projects can be reduced if not avoided through expert intervention.

As an oil and gas expert, consulting and advisory firm, our multi-disciplinary teams put these insights to good use on behalf of our clients.
