Senior Industry Figures Launch Energy Transition Advisory Company

Leading oil and gas professionals Hamish Wilson, Bill Senior, Tony Smith, Martin Dru and Sarah Milne on Tuesday launched an energy transition advisory company, BluEnergy.

The newly launched advisory company is committed to enabling oil and gas companies to leverage their existing asset base to create low carbon energy streams, generating value whilst reducing carbon intensity.

Hamish Wilson, Co-Founder of BluEnergy, says “Our focus is to identify low carbon investment opportunities where companies already have a competitive advantage through in-country relationships and capital project capability. These can bring commercial advantage when deploying the following established low carbon technologies through early entry in emerging markets such as Solar and Wind”.

The company in a statement noted that the challenge facing oil and gas companies has been thrown into sharp relief by the recent COVID-19 crisis, with companies fighting for survival, seeing cash flow, investor returns, supply chain, and the fundamental value proposition under threat with a highly volatile earnings stream and borrowing base. 

Adding that in contrast, companies with high proportions of renewable energy in their portfolios not only suffered less during the crash, but have quickly returned to pre Covid-19 levels. 

The Founders of BluEnergy, along with many other experienced industry professionals, feel that companies that do not embrace the opportunities presented by the Energy Transition and grow broader asset portfolios, may not survive long term. 

They do, however, believe that oil and gas companies are ideally placed to lead the transition, and that it’s time to move on from simply discussing the Energy Transition to actively design and implement strategies that protect and sustain both industry and the wider world.
