Phase Zero – Pre-Assessment
We’ll begin with a initial discovery call. We want to learn about your business goals and strategic market position. What are the specific challenges you’re facing? We’ll gather some general information and data about your plants, divisions, the complexity of your processes, and the size and makeup of your teams. We will schedule for the Assessment & Discovery during this call.
Your opportunities to capture value could be upstream, midstream, or downstream. At a strategic, operational, vendor, or partner level. Our experience in the oil and gas industry will help uncover the best solutions for your company, division, business unit, operating plant, department.
Phase One – Assessment & Discovery
Next, we’ll conduct an assessment (typically one to three weeks) at your location. We’ll work with you to:
- Uncover the root causes of your business challenges
- Analyze/Review your data to understand the gaps and benefits
- Conduct meetings with select team members and field observations for key areas and processes.
We want to help you understand:
- What money are you leaving on the table that your competitors are not?
- And what’s the size of the prize (your opportunity for ROI realization)?
At the end of phase one, you’ll receive a process gap map and a summary of financial benefits. We’ll provide you with your projected ROI and project timeline.
At the end of phase one, you’ll receive a report on our observations from discovery. The report includes a data analysis report and process map with gap analysis and benefits, as well as a prioritized list of areas on which to focus for the highest levels of ROI.
At this point, we’ll discuss how you want to move forward. There may be parts of the project scope your team can undertake on their own, and parts you prefer that Hydrocarbon Consulting leads for you.

- Where are you losing money?
- Where can you make process improvements?
- Can improvements can you make to your systems and tools?
- Which behavior adjustments can make your teams work better?
How can you optimize your supply chain and transform it into an oil and gas value chain?
Together, we’ll agree on the final solution design for the project. Then, we’ll work with you, your operations and executive teams, to implement the solution. You’ll have an experienced team working with you, side-by-side, to help you reach your goals and realize your potential ROI.
Your business challenges and solutions are unique. Rest assured, we’ve implemented business improvement solutions across the oil and gas value chain.
