Investment advisory services

We provide an integrated technical and commercial offering across the oil and gas life cycle, supporting opportunity identification, due diligence, resource and reserves auditing and valuation supporting fund-raising, asset transition, asset optimisation, redevelopment, decommissioning and ultimately energy transition.

Oil and Gas investment, development and divestment projects are often complex due to the high number of variables.  Lloyd’s Register helps optimise value and minimise risk in your oil and gas projects, wherever they may be located.  Certification and valuation by our qualified reserves auditors can provide the independent assurance you need to secure funding from lenders and investors. We also support divestment, including preparation of investment memoranda, management of data and complex models, provision of secure physical and virtual dataroom space and staff who can provide technical expertise in support of your sales process.

We've advised on many of the largest acquisitions, including the purchase of the Shell and ConocoPhilips assets by Chrysaor, with a total deal value of USD 5.67 Bln.

Our team can mobilise at short notice and all work is undertaken by a core group of Geoscientists, Reservoir, Well and Facilities Engineers and Petroleum Economists with a wealth of industry and transaction experience.

We bridge the gap which frequently exists between the technical and the financial, with a deep pool of subject matter experts to give advice on the potential for operational upsides as well as developing plans to mitigate downside risk. We deliver an interactive, iterative and interrogative approach to asset valuation in partnership with owners and their advisors, which combines commercial, financial and technical advice.  Information and advice is structured in such a way that it can be understood and used immediately by those people required to provide a valuation.
