Project Intelligence for Oil and Gas Pipeline and Large Capital Projects

Overview The petroleum industry is a challenging business, one in which technology, geopolitics, and market conditions change rapidly and sometimes with disruptive force. Pipeline projects may cover several years from conception to completion with return on investment (ROI) models dependent upon revenue from product prices years into the future, as well as government policies yet to be put into place. Against this economic backdrop, pipeline investors expect projects to deliver an ROI that is consistent with the risk-adjusted return that money can obtain from other investments.
