Capital Analytics

Capital Analytics identified a cost-savings opportunity of about $200 million and quantified market risk exposure for an oil and gas company, enabling a successful final investment decision (FID) on the company’s more than $10 billion portfolio in a volatile market environment.

We created a generative scheduling model with AI to mitigate schedule delays at a $3 billion petrochemical facility at about 80 percent completion. The company decreased idle time by more than 30 percent, optimized total full-time equivalents on-site to capture value, and completed the project on time.

We developed a should-cost model, schedule assessment, and risk analysis for a green-hydrogen plant valued between $300 billion and $400 million to support the plant’s successful FID. We worked with the company to identify savings opportunities totaling 10 percent and develop risk mitigation plans for execution.

We deliver predictive project analysis by coupling historical project results with forward-looking engineering, procurement, and construction market intelligence to build a fact-based range of cost and schedule outcomes. Cost and schedule diagnostics identify critical risks and opportunities that could make a substantial impact on your project business case, and contractor diligence helps you understand what is achievable in a given market based on global trends, local competition, and contractor capabilities.

We offer an ecosystem of analytical capabilities that maximize value creation across all phases of a project’s life cycle. Benchmark your capital portfolio against industry standards and peer performance to identify which areas show the greatest opportunity to improve allocation and efficiencies. Identify the best structure and contracting strategies for your portfolio through our organization and capability assessments. Generate rapid, bottom-up estimates to assess a range of design and execution scenarios in pursuit of optimal value generation.

Customized capabilities for digital control towers provide you with real-time, transparent views of project performance in addition to strategic and predictive insights to enable value assurance and proactive interventions. Generative scheduling tools help you discover the best path for construction, enabling an optimized and accelerated execution strategy. Comprehensive market intelligence on the capital-projects space supports you in navigating volatility and having a robust fact base for partner selection and contract negotiations.
