Midstream
Midstream is the essential segue between the exploration and production (upstream) and refining oil products and marketing (downstream) and includes pipelines and other transportation (shipping), and storage.
Pipelines
Geopolitics and the need to transport oil and gas over long distances to markets with high demand continues to drive growth in the development of pipelines. These enormously complex and capital intensive 'midstream' projects require a detailed knowledge of the sector as well as an international presence.
Storage
Given the global growth in demand for energy and the volatility of the energy markets generally, storage (on–and offshore) is increasing seen as an essential tool to bring enhanced security of supply and stability to energy markets.
Shipping
Shipping and off-shore finance is an increasing important part of the energy supply chain as companies look to transport oil and gas over long distances to markets with high demand. An increasing appetite for ultra deep water oil and gas exploration is also fuelling the demand for ships such as FPSOs, drillships and other offshore support vessels
