Oxford Advisor

We offer strategic and operative consultancy know how for energy suppliers. We have been focused on the energy sector from the beginning, within this sector we have done many projects along the complete energy sector value chain. E.g. for British Gas we have

Wir haben z.B. für British Gas die Kraftwerke von zahlreichen Konkurrenten weltweit bis auf Kraftwerksebene “gebenchmarkt”, wir haben Projekte mit Shell, BP, E.ON, Nuon, BKW und vielen anderen Energieunternehmen gemacht.

Dieses Geschäftsfeld beinhaltet auch die Unterstützung von Energieunternehmen bei der Verhandlung und Konfliktlösung bei größeren Energieverträgen. Wir sind hier auch als Expertenteams immer wieder in internationale Schiedsgerichtsverfahren eingebunden.

Bei Projekten dieses Bereiches geht es um besonders vertrauliche, heikle Themen wie etwa Vertragsänderungsforderungen, meistens in enger Zusammenarbeit mit internationalen Anwaltskanzleien. Unser Input bezieht sich hier immer auf energiespezifische Themen, sozusagen eine “Expertenmeinung”, vorwiegend in einem Markt-/Kosten-/Preis-/Konkurrenzzusammenhang.

Further topics in this regard relate to patenting conflicts, problem solutions within existing projects, analysis of operative problems including strategic HR-issues.

Two short project description should offer some orientation in this area:

1.) The Multinational Natural Gas Purchaser

In this project the adequacy of gas procurement has been analysed. This necessitated complete margin & value calculation from exploration to retail applications. Various different usage scenarios of natural gas have been associated with numerical evaluations. The results enabled the client to establish strategic renegotiation options of existing contracts.
This project necessitated comprehensive knowledge of energy regulatory laws in several countries, knowledge of gas exploration & production costs in a technical and commercial respect as well as evaluation of different usage scenarios of natural gas.

2.) The International Polyethylene- and Polypropylene Producer

The project was characterised by the lopsidedness of the existing supplier contracts at project start, that have been analysed together with the client and could be optimised in several negotiation rounds. The pre-project dominance of the supplier could be demonstrated and reduced by combination of legal, commercial and technical aspects.
Standard points of the supplier have been identified as such, a related national and European benchmarking analysis brought a number of negotiation trumps for the chemical production company.
A “Level Playing Field” could only be established by detailed knowledge of the consumption profile, validation of the price arguments from the supplier side and detailed analysis of complex price formulae.
