The services we offer

 

 

Crisil Intelligence offers advisory services on regulatory and policy frameworks, including energy transition policies, to help clients stay ahead of evolving regulations. We provide strategic recommendations for oil and gas sector reforms and decarbonisation efforts. We have offered guidance on Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) regulations, bidding strategies and compliance requirements to ensure seamless operations and growth for our clients. We have worked with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, PNGRB, Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell, Association of CGD Entities and the Oil Industries Development Board, providing insights and recommendations to shape industry policies and regulations.

Our expertise in business planning and market strategy includes demand-supply analysis and forecasting across gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and downstream fuels. We help clients craft market-entry strategies by assessing the competitive landscape and identifying growth opportunities. Feasibility studies and financial modelling services enable businesses to evaluate the viability of new projects and make informed investment decisions.

Notably, we have worked with a Japanese company in the LNG market, supporting its entry into India, leveraging our deep industry expertise and regulatory insights to facilitate a smooth transition. We have also advised clients in the Middle East and Africa on market entry, pricing strategies and infrastructure development in the sector.

Crisil Intelligence provides end-to-end support in mergers and acquisitions, including target identification, due diligence and transaction structuring. We specialise in valuation and financial structuring for investments and divestments, helping clients maximise value. Our advisory services extend to joint venture formation and strategic partnerships, ensuring long-term success. A notable example includes our successful transaction advisory to a leading CGD company’s investment in the electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery space, highlighting our ability to support clients in new energy ventures.

We assist clients in developing investment strategies for LNG terminals, CGD networks and gas pipelines, ensuring optimal infrastructure utilisation. Our expertise in utilisation improvement strategies has been demonstrated in projects such as LNG terminal optimisation and capacity expansion strategies in India, the Middle East, and Africa. Additionally, we conduct techno-commercial assessments to support the efficient operation and expansion of gas transportation infrastructure.

Crisil Intelligence plays a pivotal role in helping clients navigate energy transition by assessing opportunities in biofuels, hydrogen, and CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation and storage). We develop strategic roadmaps for energy companies looking to integrate renewables into their portfolios and optimise their participation in carbon markets. We have also undertaken mandates with leading green funds to provide advisory services on carbon market mechanisms, supporting global sustainability goals and regulatory compliance.

With our extensive experience, data-driven insights and strategic foresight, Crisil Intelligence remains a trusted partner in shaping the future of the oil and gas industry.
