Best Oil & Gas Finance & Transactions Consultancy - UK The challenge of any industry is to draw together the often-disparate aspects of operations, finance and financial spheres. When Oil & Gas Advisors (OGA) was founded in 2010, it was with the specific intent of solving this problem for organisations. We take a look at how this team has not only achieved their goal, but been able to thrive in Corporate Vision’s Oil and Gas Awards 2021. The last twenty-five years has seen an enormous shift for the oil and gas sector, as businesses and enterprises have sought to create a new system that is both more accessible and more flexible. The work that the team at OGA have done has been instrumental in that shift. Their mission since opening their doors for the first time has been consistent – to assist management teams to execute their corporate and funding objectives. A key reason behind this change is a transformation in how services have been opened up to more and more people. Where once a company could only access certain services if they were big enough, it is now possible to gain access no matter how big or small a company is. This has been reflected in the sheer availability of financial resources. As the oil and gas industry becomes more democratised, there is a clear and present need to ensure that companies can make the appropriate moves to secure their growth. That’s what OGA do. Their work is focused on this industry, drawing on a top-level team of highly experienced financial and industry professionals. All those who work for OGA share a passion for the sector, and have multi-jurisdictional experience at all stages of the E&P cycle, with transactional experience exceeding $65bn. This highly specialised approach means that OGA is uniquely qualified to assist its clients to navigate oft complex financing structures to ensure that they achieve optimal funding. To ensure that clients are satisfied with the work that the team do, they not only boast impressive operational and finance experience, but also have debt and equity capital markets exposure. Encompassing every aspect of what the oil and gas industry could need has always been the key to continued success for this impressive firm. The shift in the industry over the last quarter-century has also led to a change in how the markets treat the oil and gas sector. It’s clear to the team at OGA that the financial markets as a whole have become more accustomed to assessing and valuing risk in oil and gas. Where once there were limited options available to companies, now there is an immense range of different financial products available to meet the financing needs of projects at to all stages of the E&P cycle. This growth requires the use of a consultancy by business to find the best, and the most appropriate deal on the market. This could mean leveraging the debt or equity markets, or seeking peer to peer funding through farmins, farmouts or partial or full asset sales. There are a wealth of different services such as debt and equity capital markets advice, transaction support, detailed asset valuation and cash flow analysis and contract negotiation to name but a few avenues that the OGA team can assist with. It’s the team’s adaptability that has brought them such success in the last few years. Their work for others within the gas and oil industry has been incredible, playing an invaluable role in the support of a client’s strategic goals, business development needs and operational and finance requirements.
