Case Studies
Market impact assessment for an oil and gas player
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.
Addressing costly scheduling delays at a petrochemical facility
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.
Supporting the final investment decision at a green-hydrogen plant
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.
