The energy space is a complex place and there are a lot of moving parts -- engineering and technical pieces, operations, contracts & legal, stakeholders, finance, and most importantly, management. Each of these areas integrate into the whole and unless they operate in synchronicity, the asset, the project or the company doesn't work.

Often problems occur, or worse remain undetected, because the operation of the whole is not carefully analyzed or considered in context. Opportunities can be missed in the same way. That is what RDE does -- we do thorough and careful analysis to determine what is working, what is not working, and how it is supposed to work. We develop solutions and implement as our client sees fit.

Hands-on Approach to Complex Energy Problems

RDE begins each assignment with a hands-on situation appraisal -- a review of all available information, technical data, operating and financial reports, statements, contracts, and key correspondence. We then have in-depth discussions with management to understand what is behind the data.

With the initial information understood, we typically undertake our own analysis to (i) ensure our own understanding of the situation; (ii) provide a quantitative model of the assets or business; (iii) allow an independent view of both management and third-party analyses.

Analysis in hand, RDE then can identify and articulate problems and opportunities, as well as strategies and tactics to mitigate the problems and exploit the opportunities. Depending on the needs of the client, we can provide advice or execute the strategy directly as consultants or management in whatever capacity the situation dictates.
