From volatile oil prices to mounting environmental and regulatory pressures, today’s oil and gas companies are grappling with a wide range of complex issues. BCG’s upstream oil and gas consulting team leverages a wealth of hands-on industry experience—along with expert knowledge of upstream data science and macro energy trends—to bring value to our clients.
We take a flexible and collaborative approach that allows us to meet companies’ specific needs. We also apply a business lens to all the work we do and have a proven track record of creating value, with more than 1,500 projects delivered over the past five years for the majors and other international integrated oil and gas companies, independents, and national oil companies.
BCG’s upstream oil and gas consultants provide execution certainty and acceleration of impact by deploying rigorous processes and tools. By working hand in hand with in-house teams, our upstream consultants ensure that their work is always client led.
Here are a few examples of how we have helped clients:
We worked with an independent exploration and production company to develop a robust net zero roadmap and evaluate a range of internal and external business opportunities based around carbon capture and storage. We identified opportunities that had the potential to generate about $1 billion in net present value terms and positive engagements with investors drove an incremental 30% shareholder return premium versus the industry median.
An upstream oil and gas company was seeking support to diversify into low-carbon areas. We worked with the company to evaluate a range of internal and external business opportunities based around carbon capture, utilization, and storage; renewable energy; and direct air capture. Combined, these opportunities had the potential to generate more than $5 billion in enterprise value terms.
A major exploration and production company wanted to define a venturing strategy for investing and scaling low-carbon technologies to decarbonize their business. We worked with the company to evaluate investment areas and to identify potential investment vehicles and the most suitable venture capital partners. We also provided a deep-dive analysis of opportunities in three clean-tech areas: hydrogen, direct air capture, CCUS, and emissions reduction.
We offer clients a range of leading-edge proprietary solutions and tools that help them to optimize their exploration and production activities, including hydrocarbon exploration and hydrocarbon production.
