Downstream

Given the cross-disciplinary nature of the downstream market, our advisory business can offer consultants with experience from upstream, oil markets, shipping and product markets to ensure a holistic understanding of the subject matter. We advise downstream players, upstream producers, infrastructure providers and shipping companies on the market outlook, market structure and how they should align their strategy to capture new opportunities. 

• Demand for different oil products goes to the core of our oil market offering, and our advisory services build on that to help clients understand risks, opportunities and the strategies that would allow them to benefit from market shifts. 
• As demand shifts, so does the relative competitiveness of crude qualities and the global trade of crudes. We support buyers and sellers of crude in understanding the competitive environment, the impact of regulatory changes and the cost of transportation on their bottom line. 
• We advise shipping companies both within the clean and dirty trade, both on the short term outlook for the overall market, but also on the longer term changes. Working with management, we support strategy development in a world with heightened uncertainty around long-term demand and with increased focus on reducing emissions.
