Build an industry project office

Starting point

Russian manufacturers and developers have strong technical solutions, but there is a long route from a good development to real use by a major oil and gas customer. The use case, technical sponsor, economics, testing, certification and adoption route all need to be defined.

Business challenge

Build an oil and gas project office inside an industry cluster that can take industrial technologies systematically from initial assessment through implementation.

• sourcing manufacturers and developers
• technical and commercial assessment
• target customers and use cases
• business case
• pilot, field trial, qualification and certification route
• work with customer technical teams
• commercial support model
• industrial cooperation
• public funding mechanisms

What I did

I designed and launched the operating model for the oil and gas direction, including a company pipeline and project selection system. Each solution is assessed not only technically, but also for its commercial potential.

For each project we identify the customer problem, use case, economic impact, technical sponsor, barriers and corporate procedures. That becomes the basis for an individual development route.

Project example

One project involves a new type of downhole equipment. We developed the application economics, benchmarked it against existing technologies, calculated the potential impact and defined the adoption route. A relevant Ministry of Industry support mechanism was also identified.

The project passed a techno-economic review and moved to the next stage of evaluation within a major oil and gas customer.

Result

For the portfolio, we build routes to major customers, develop technical and commercial cases, and organise pilots, qualification, certification and industrial cooperation.
