Managing oil, gas, electricity, renewable, and other energy businesses requires massive investments in interdependent, heavyweight infrastructure, as well as simultaneous management of disparate market forces. These businesses are dominated by risk from uncertainties such as weather, market variations, transportation, government actions, logistics, and asset reliability. Reputational risk related issues dominate board room discussions, but are rarely quantified or understood from a risk management perspective. These uncertainties and accompanying business inefficiencies can be continuously acted on by use of computational decision-making tools that enable rich opportunities to improve a firm’s profitability. CALM Energy has partnered with energy firms to develop solutions to these uncertainties and business inefficiencies.
Energy businesses routinely make strategic decisions to sell, buy, build, and use infrastructure of all kinds. Costly decisions about the maintenance and redesign of these facilities need to be made. Assets have to be modernized and modified to provide reliable and valuable services to the customer, or they risk being made obsolete by changing technologies, regulations, or market forces. In such field infrastructure businesses, uncertainty is the prime impediment to profitability, rather than the maintenance of efficient supply chains or the management of assembly lines. Energy products must be delivered 24/7 and often to a global market. Bad incidents related to weather, equipment failures, industrial accidents, and government regulations must be managed. More importantly, these bad events need to be predicted and acted on before they become bad events. At CALM Energy, we are passionate about providing solutions to these impediments to profitability. CALM Energy provides strategic development services to incorporate our CALM strategy and software solutions into a firm’s existing business.
