Risk assessment

Identifying vulnerabilities and building strategic resilience across oil & gas, energy, and chemicals

Uncovering hidden operational risks and commercial vulnerabilities requires structured thinking paired with deep domain insight. ADI Analytics helps executive leadership teams anticipate impending market disruptions and build resilience into their operations and corporate strategy. By linking proprietary analytics directly to business value, we convert complex threats into quantifiable strategic choices for capital projects, supply chains, and new ventures.

Visualize complex risks. Prioritize operational and market threats using data-driven risk heat mapping and rigorous uncertainty assessments to score volatility across competing industry technologies and business models.

Protect core assets. Develop diligent, forward-looking mitigation planning to insulate high-capital infrastructure investments and global supply chains from unexpected macroeconomic shocks and operational disruptions.

Optimize capital deployment. Implement comprehensive risk-adjusted decision frameworks and objective decision analysis to ensure high-stakes boardroom choices remain resilient and align with long-term shareholder value.

Experience

Critical minerals supply risk assessment

ADI assessed supply‑chain exposure by mapping industrial materials to underlying critical minerals using asset‑level mining and refining data. Geographic concentration, fungibility, and business consequence were applied to narrow priority risks. The analysis addressed constraints on substitution and short‑term mitigation under geopolitical uncertainty. The client Integrated energy company The situation Limited visibility into mineral supply exposure […]

U.S. midstream commercial contract assessment

ADI investigated the structural shift in midstream commercial transactions, specifically the migration from keep-whole to fee-based contractual frameworks. The project involved a deep dive into SEC filings and senior executive interviews to benchmark average remaining contract lives and minimum volume commitments (MVCs) across 18 major operators. Findings surfaced the inherent commodity price risks remaining in […]

Medium-scale LNG bunkering plant due diligence

ADI conducted a technical and commercial risk assessment of a proposed waterfront LNG facility, focusing on EPCM strategy and marine integration. The work identified critical FEL-3 gaps, including scope exclusions in storage tank quotes and misalignments between piping layouts and plot plans. Rigorous analysis of the bunkering barge cycle times highlighted operational vulnerabilities related to […]

The growing challenge of industrial R&D

For much of the 20th century, R&D was viewed as a long-term investment in scientific discovery, often insulated from day-to-day operational pressures. Success was measured in patents, breakthrough technologies, and the promise of future growth. Today, that view no longer holds. Across energy, chemicals, and broader industrial sectors, R&D has been reshaped by a combination […]

IMO’s safety guidelines pave the way for ammonia-fueled ships

Ammonia has increasingly emerged as a potential low-carbon marine fuel to support decarbonization in the maritime sector due to its carbon-free combustion profile. However, compared to methanol, ammonia has lagged behind in commercial adoption as a low-carbon marine fuel. This is primarily due to its toxicity, which requires more complex storage and handling systems, as […]
