Oil, Gas & Energy
The oil, gas and energy industry is at a critical point in its history. With an essential purpose of delivering reliable and affordable energy to both businesses and consumers whilst driving towards its net zero objective, now more than ever are energy executives focusing on operating safely, efficiently, reliably, and sustainably.
The Oil, Gas and Energy industry is forecast to grow well into the next decade, driven by increasing global energy demand. This growth is reflected in expanding exploration activities, investments in infrastructure, efforts to secure energy supplies, increased investment in renewable energy sources, carbon capture technologies, and a shift to natural gas from oil.
At dss+, we partner with our clients to address the challenges this period of deep transition brings.
- Reducing catastrophic risk exposure and eliminating fatalities by identifying and controlling critical risks in traditional oil and gas, renewable and clean energy assets
- Improving top line and bottom line performance by operating reliable and profitable assets to meet growing energy demand, whilst optimising energy, material and labour use.
- Delivering ESG commitments and diversifying from ‘oil and gas’ into ‘energy’ companies by operationalising renewable and clean energy assets.
- Building organizational culture where personnel are inspired and enabled to address complex industry challenges.
- Maximising value from mergers and acquisitions by achieving direct operational synergies, combining capabilities, identifying new opportunities and driving cultural alignment.
