World-shaping impacts and insights

Strategy
At Mott MacDonald, our clients turn to us for the benefit of our independent management and technical advice. We embrace challenges – each solution we give is unique. Our strategies are innovative and focused on timely delivery. Our work across a range of global markets means we’re able to offer a powerful combination of leading edge technical expertise backed by astute commercial sense and an in-depth understanding of major environmental, social and economic issues.

Techno-economics
We've been involved in national and pan-national strategic planning and techno-economic studies as well as due diligence, technical advisory, asset valuation and privatisation roles. We have an inherent understanding of the influence of the oil and gas market on the economy, and the drivers for oil and gas developments. We have high-level knowledge of global energy supply and demand, impact of oil prices plus related issues. Our expert teams have an in-depth understanding of economic, regulatory and environmental issues, while having the resources to implement study findings in the form of strategic advice, engineering design and project management. This requires high-level discussions with governments, enterprises, banks, legal experts and contractors.

Dispute resolution
Mott MacDonald has an excellent track record in providing high level skills in the field of disputes either directly to ultimate clients such as oil, gas and energy companies, contractors, insurers or law firms. These skills when brought in at the earliest opportunity often result in dispute resolution without recourse to costly formal arbitration or court cases.

Expert advisory
We have a solid track record in masterplanning, institutional reform and restructuring, regulatory advice and technology transfer and training. With environmental and sustainability concerns at the forefront of most oil and gas projects our leading in-house capabilities enable us to examine the wider socio-environmental aspects of a client’s proposed development, as well as implement optimum regimes.

Masterplanning
Mott MacDonald has global experience in developing successful masterplans. We review the client’s requirements, formulate the strategy and develop an implementation plan. We also consider the economic, political, social and technical factors to formulate a development plan. Our understanding of national practices, global and local markets, corporate strategies and funding agencies is second to none. So we're able to identify planned projects from an early stage.

Market liberalisation
Combining our experience in masterplanning with the commercial skills sensitive to our clients places Mott MacDonald as a world leader for privatisation, asset transactions and restructuring. We're able to combine regulatory and public policy issues with all the technical aspects of a project. The drive towards privatisation and deregulation means that our work now incorporates a comprehensive understanding of associated legal and regulatory issues.

Regulatory advice
We've a full understanding of the regulatory environment and the manner in which both regulators and operators function. We have special expertise in the operation of global gas markets plus deregulation and price control process. Where development plans necessitate regulatory changes, we will review the existing regulatory framework and identify the regulatory changes required to achieve the client’s desired outcome.
