Asset Transition North Sea

Protecting production through a multi-asset operatorship handover

Challenge

An independent acquiring a portfolio of mature offshore assets faced a compressed transition with heavy reliance on the seller for systems and support.

What we did

We led the transition end to end — mobilising the operating organisation, managing the TSA down and cutting over systems and data while production continued.

Outcome

Zero unplanned production loss attributable to the handover, and a clean exit from seller dependency ahead of schedule.

Due Diligence West Africa

Independent operational due diligence on a $1.4bn acquisition

Challenge

A bidder needed an operator’s read on the true condition, cost base and liabilities behind a complex offshore data room.

What we did

Our practitioners assessed integrity, production potential, opex and decommissioning exposure, and pressure-tested the vendor’s operating assumptions.

Outcome

A risk-adjusted operating view that reshaped the bid and seeded a ready-made first-100-days plan.

Improvement Middle East

Onshore gas performance turnaround

Challenge

A producing gas asset was running well below potential on uptime and unit cost, with the upside contested internally.

What we did

A benchmarked diagnostic quantified the gap; we then delivered targeted reliability and cost work while coaching the asset team.

Outcome

Sustained double-digit uptime improvement and a lower cost base, owned and maintained by the client’s own organisation.

Transformation Global

Operating model redesign for a fast-growing operator

Challenge

Rapid acquisition-led growth had outrun an operating model built for a single asset, blurring accountabilities.

What we did

We designed a value-aligned operating model — structure, accountabilities and management system — and stayed to embed it across the enlarged organisation.

Outcome

Clear accountabilities and a management system that scaled with the business rather than constraining it.
