The Oil & Gas industry is facing a profound reset. 

Uncertainty is rife: global supply-demand and geopolitical dynamics are causing commodity price volatility, maturing North America shale positions face large-scale consolidation, traditional downstream businesses are shifting as EV adoption grows. On top of that, there is pressure to drive decarbonization while meeting increasing investor appetites for capital returns.

Fortunately, these challenges bring new opportunities, and we are supporting companies across the entire energy value chain as they develop new growth strategies, new operating models and organization designs, and we are helping implement performance improvement initiatives, often with a digital element, aimed at capturing profitable growth and increasing shareholder returns.

How we can help

Our expertise spans the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments, addressing challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Upstream

Our global team works closely with healthy and distressed companies across the Upstream value chain to devise strategies in this uncertain environment. We help companies redesign their operating models and organizations; identify strategies and new approaches to deliver improvements in capital productivity, deliver productivity improvements and cost reduction in operations, and investigate and evaluate new technologies and investments in decarbonization and new energies.  We also support M&A and the delivery of promised synergy value from transactions, as well as help companies investigate and evaluate new technologies and investments in decarbonization and new energies. As the industry evolves, we are helping companies harness the power of digital technologies to support and drive their businesses. 

Midstream

The midstream oil and gas sector plays a crucial role in processing, transporting, and storing hydrocarbons around the world. Success requires critical foresight into customer supply and demand dynamics, the ability to plan and execute large, multi-year capital intensive projects, and the ability to operate assets efficiently and effectively. AlixPartners advises and supports midstream companies as they improve investment decisions, turnaround troubled capital projects and implement initiatives to improve profitability.

Downstream

Our team advises on topics and issues across the downstream value chain from refining and supply to commercial and retail marketing and sales. Our clients include oil majors and national oil companies, refiners, commercial and retail distributors, and retailers. We have deep experience in traditional fuels, renewables, and lubricants, and our global team brings extensive industry knowledge, a suite of proprietary tools, and a demonstrated history of value creation focused on both top and bottom-line improvement and enablement.
