If your company is a key player in the oil and gas industry or other industries and you are looking for project financing and effective contract management, please talk to us at Gabriel Domale Consulting. We are a management consulting firm based in Nigeria.

Organizations may need insights into project finance and the services that are provided by  “Experienced Finance Leaders | Independent Advisors".

Banks and other financial institutions are increasingly losing confidence in supporting project financing, especially in the oil and gas industry. Yet the industry remains a big attraction in terms of returns for the banks and other oil industry players.

Cost-effective project delivery requires a sound financial advisory to support project management and project financing.

Project financing in the oil and gas industry in Africa has become increasingly difficult as we are now witnessing an apparent shortage of funds available to finance a huge portfolio of projects. This is partly due to decreased oil price regime, huge unrecovered loan portfolio, poor knowledge of the dynamics of projects and contracts, and lack of financial discipline.

I strongly believe that the high level of unrecoverable loans and unwillingness by banks to finance projects are due to knowledge gaps on the part of EPC contractors and the banks.

Some EPC contractors operating in Nigeria have good technical and execution capabilities, but in some cases, they seem to lack effective financial management. They also need to implement best-in-class global management practices in their finance organizations.

Gabriel Domale Consulting is helping to mitigate these challenges on behalf of our clients. We make available to clients our expertise in project finance, contract management, cost estimation, engineering, commercial, project economics, and reservoir/reserves management. Our managers are ex-managers of Shell Nigeria and each manager has a minimum of 20 years’ hands-on experience.

We create value for project financing in the oil and gas industry in three main areas: (1) Helping EPC contractors to develop structured loan proposals and financing strategies, (2) Helping banks to conduct due diligence on loan proposals, and (3) Providing support to EPC contractors to deliver contracts/projects timely and within costs – and ensuring full loan repayments.
