True Energy Adviser (TEA) provides independent, investor-side technical oversight for heavy CAPEX energy projects. We bridge the gap between capital allocators and operators by identifying execution drift, IRR erosion, and governance gaps early — before capital loss becomes permanent. With 33+ years of global drilling and execution experience, TEA translates field-level reality into investor-grade clarity, helping allocators move from IC to FID with confidence and monitor real-time performance after FID.
Traditional consulting firms often rely on operator-provided data and structured reviews that occur after issues have already developed. TEA operates independently of the operator and focuses on early detection of assumption drift between feasibility, capital approval (IC), and field execution. We provide faster visibility into emerging IRR erosion, execution risk, and governance misalignment — giving investors leverage while they still have it, not after capital is deployed.
TEA can be engaged at two critical stages: • Pre-FID (IC to FID): To validate execution assumptions, cost realism, timeline integrity, and technical risk alignment before final capital commitment. • Post-FID: To detect early IRR drift, budget creep, performance deviation, and governance gaps in real time. Early engagement increases investor visibility and reduces the probability of capital underperformance.
TEA supports complex, capital-intensive energy projects including: • Oil & Gas drilling and development programs • Geothermal projects • Natural Hydrogen initiatives • CCS and emerging energy infrastructure • Re-entry and redevelopment programs Our focus is on projects where execution discipline directly impacts IRR, NAV, and long-term asset performance
