Front End Engineering and Design (FEED)

Introduction The key difference between Blue and Green Hydrogen is the production process.   Historically, Hydrogen is produced from Natural Gas through Steam Methane Reforming. It is what we call Grey Hydrogen. This process releases massive volumes of CO2 into the atmosphere.  To reduce this carbon footprint, we can capture the CO2 and, either store […]

Challenges in Scaling Up Hydrogen Projects Introduction Hydrogen has been used for decades in industry, especially to produce ammonia and methanol. For the last few years, especially since Covid, Hydrogen has been enforced like the fuel of the futur. In fact, the Production of Green Hydrogen via electrolysis (produced with renewable electricity) is a vector […]

Contracting Strategies for Large Energy Projects Introduction Large energy projects, such as we know in oil & gas, Petrochemical, and renewable require significant investments. Highly complex due to long execution timelines and large supply chain with as much as 250 stakeholders. Selecting the right contracting strategy is one of the most critical decisions in the […]

Understanding the Energy Project Lifecycle Introduction The project lifecycle provides a clear structure for managing projects, ensuring that all aspects are properly planned and executed. This helps in avoiding confusion, maximizing efficiency, and minimizing risks.  Knowing all these steps is crucial to anticipate when one should start to be involved in a project. The right […]

Final Investment Decision Definition The Final Investment Decision is the crucial moment of a project lifeycle when the Operator decide to commit on moving forward with the execution of the project. Final Investment Decision is a formal and binding decision to invest capital and begin detailed engineering, construction and comissioning. Final Investment Decision can often […]

The Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market is surging on Q2 2021.
Along that year, the Covid and the mass communication about energy transition affected heavily projects investment decisions. So, that 2021 started in great uncertainty. But the demand was there. Therefore, we could observe a well loaded funnel of projects for sanction in 2021 and 2022.

Projects front end engineering and design (FEED) is taking the King’s role over engineering, procurement and construction (EPC). FEED is King.

In this period of social and economic confusion, Gas projects seem to benefit from an exceptional stability.

The level of investment for gas projects is equal in 2020 to 2019.
