Given the importance of the study and the variety of facets it covers, our team comprised a diverse group of some of the finest minds in oil trade, macroeconomics, finance, governance, strategy and global energy industry. For nearly a year, they worked closely together, ensuring smooth progress and regularly arranging meetings with the client to provide update on the work and receiving feedback.

We recognise that there is no ‘one size fit all model’ that we can simply advocate. What works well in one country may not work at all in another. We therefore kept an open mind throughout and while we relied on our international experience and studied practices in other countries, our novel yet easily applicable recommendations were tailored to the specific needs of the country. After all, every country is unique.
