HANDS ON
No time for the warm up or the learning curve? Things are pressing? The project is underway or should be? The board is breathing down your neck? Tell me what you need.
Business Development
If you are not uncomfortable, you have not really gone into LNG or you are one of the old players. LNG is not a sterile business. And you need to develop a project culture that is able to deal with a lot of frustration. Wanna see my scars?
Negotiation Support
Your in-house team does the negotiation? Thats fair. Your team knows your needs. But do they? If LNG is a new business for you, do you really want to risk burning your reputation in the market. Burn me – I can take it.
LNG Supply Origination
Securing LNG volumes often involves a lot of waiting time in countries with funny plumbing, inside buildings with bad air conditioning. Its countless fruitless attempts to meet decision makers and it involves dealing with a horrible lot of frustration.
Get closer than ever to your customers.
So close that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves.

Some contractual precedents that worked in the Nineties would be toxic today, at least for one of the parties. Don’t be the guinea pig for the industry. I provide contract advice at the negotiation table or in review sessions.
LNG Strategy & Education
Wait long enough and your LNG cargo literally turns into vapor. Luckily, there are time tested mechanisms designed to reliably deal with this risk. Most of them are simple. It’s the simple things that are sometimes the hardest to do.
What I am not doing
I am an advisor, a consultant, a teacher and an advocate for LNG and methane. I am not a project developer in my own right as LNG projects require monies that are beyond my capabilities.

Some things just dont go the way you plan it. Or you planned and your plans were thrown up in the air by a last minute change. Short timeline for documents, fast “on the table” support for a negotiation – I will get it done or tell you so if I can’t.
Ghosting
Your reasons for keeping things super-confidential matter very little to me. Confidentiality is my default mode – which means that the only way someone else is ever going to find out that I worked for you is if you tell them.
Devils Advocate
I will go over your business concepts, project plans, and strategic ideas, and probe them for weaknesses and inconsistencies and slip into your opponent’s shoes in order to see things from his perspective to make you un-assailable.
Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
