Our Approach

Built on deep, dual-track expertise.

This blend of technical and financial capability is the Company's core differentiator. On the technical side, Haricot draws on hands-on expertise in seismic acquisition and interpretation, basin evaluation, reservoir characterization, drilling program design, well integrity management, and exploration risk assessment. On the financial and regulatory side, the Company brings project finance and capital raising capability, commercial structuring of upstream contracts, financial modeling and valuation, regulatory reporting and compliance strategy, and enterprise risk management. Every engagement is staffed to draw on both sides of that bench at once — an asset is never assessed only through a technical lens or only through a financial one.

Track 01 — Technical

Subsurface to surface facilities

From the first seismic line to first oil, our technical bench carries an asset through every stage of physical risk and readiness.

  • Seismic acquisition, processing, and structural interpretation
  • Basin evaluation and play-level exploration screening
  • Reservoir characterization and subsurface risk modeling
  • Drilling program design, well engineering, and well integrity management
  • Exploration risk assessment ahead of capital commitment
  • Operational readiness, from exploration through development
Track 02 — Financial

Capital, compliance, and governance

Alongside the technical work, our financial bench structures, funds, and defends every asset decision to institutional standard.

  • Project finance, capital raising, and investor engagement
  • Commercial structuring of upstream contracts and farm-in agreements
  • Financial modeling, fiscal design, and asset valuation
  • Regulatory reporting and compliance strategy, including NUPRC submissions
  • Enterprise risk management and Big Four-grade audit readiness
  • Due diligence built for investor and regulator scrutiny alike
Core Capabilities

Where engineering rigor meets financial discipline.

Eight capability lines, one integrated bench. Each is staffed by specialists who work across the technical and financial divide rather than handing an asset back and forth between silos.

01

Investment analysis & valuation

Upstream investment analysis, asset valuation, and financial due diligence built for investor and regulator scrutiny alike — from single-asset appraisals to portfolio-level screening.

02

Project finance & capital structuring

Capital raising and structuring for marginal field development, farm-ins, and acquisitions, paired with investor engagement that speaks both languages — engineering and finance.

03

Geoscience & subsurface risk

Seismic acquisition and interpretation, basin evaluation, and reservoir characterization to de-risk field development and drilling decisions before capital is committed.

04

Drilling & well engineering

Drilling program design, well engineering, and well integrity management carrying an asset from spud to first oil and through its producing life.

05

Commercial structuring

Structuring of upstream contracts, farm-in and joint operating agreements, and transaction terms that hold up under both commercial and regulatory review.

06

Regulatory & bid support

Regulatory compliance, reporting, and bid documentation support, including NUPRC submissions prepared to the standard institutional reviewers expect.

07

Financial modeling & fiscal design

Petroleum economics, fiscal modeling, and scenario analysis that turn subsurface and commercial assumptions into a defensible investment case.

08

Enterprise risk & audit readiness

Enterprise risk management, financial controls, and audit readiness shaped by Big Four rigor — governance built in from the start, not bolted on later.

Field & Engineering Services

A full-cycle service schedule, from field to facility.

From marginal field development through facility operations, our teams cover the full technical scope an operator needs — to bring an asset online, keep it running safely, and keep it compliant for the life of the field.

01

Marginal Field Development

End-to-end development of marginal and stranded fields, from technical and commercial appraisal through field development planning and first production, sized to make sub-scale assets economic.

02

Drilling & Well Services

Well engineering, drilling program design, rig-site operational support, and well integrity management across the drilling and completion lifecycle.

03

EPC & Project Management

Engineering, procurement, and construction delivered under disciplined project controls — cost, schedule, and quality tracked against a single integrated plan.

04

Procurement & Supply

Sourcing and supply of oilfield equipment across a qualified vendor network, with technical specification support so procurement decisions hold up on site.

05

Pipeline Construction & Maintenance

Construction, integrity management, and scheduled maintenance of pipeline infrastructure, from route engineering through commissioning and ongoing inspection.

06

Facility Operations & Maintenance

Operations support and preventive maintenance across production facilities, built to keep uptime high and unplanned downtime rare.

07

Environmental & Spill Response

Environmental management, monitoring, and spill response services for onshore and offshore assets, designed around real regulatory response timelines.

08

HSE Consulting & Training

Health, safety, and environmental advisory and workforce training programs that build a safety culture the workforce actually carries onto the site.

09

Engineering Design & Asset Integrity

Engineering design services and asset integrity management across the field lifecycle, from concept design through end-of-life assessment.

10

Regulatory & Local Content Advisory

Compliance and local content advisory aligned with Nigerian and international requirements, tracked against the specific obligations of each license.

11

Oilfield Maintenance

Scheduled and corrective maintenance across upstream and midstream assets, sequenced to minimize interruption to production.

12

Engineering Services

Multidisciplinary engineering support across the project lifecycle — civil, mechanical, process, and structural — coordinated under one delivery team.

13

EPC & EPCIC Services

Engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning delivery for offshore and onshore facilities, from design basis through handover.

14

Consulting Services

Advisory across economics, valuation, compliance, and transactions — the same rigor we bring to the field, applied to the deal room. Detailed below.

Consulting Services

Advisory built for the bid room and the boardroom.

The same rigor we bring to the field, applied to the transactions, filings, and decisions that determine whether an asset gets built. Our consulting bench sits alongside the technical team on every engagement, so a valuation or a bid package is never separated from the subsurface and operational realities behind it.

How a consulting engagement runs

A single process map covers every line above — whether the engagement starts with a bid deadline, a valuation request, or a due diligence mandate.

1
Engage & Scope

Define objectives, asset scope, timeline, and the regulatory context the engagement sits inside.

2
Diagnose & Assess

Gather technical and financial data — subsurface, commercial, contractual, and compliance review in parallel.

3
Model & Value

Build petroleum economics, fiscal models, and asset valuations on assumptions the technical team has stress-tested.

4
Structure & Advise

Recommend structuring, financing, and regulatory positioning, with trade-offs made explicit for decision-makers.

5
Document & Submit

Prepare bid packages, FDPs, and NUPRC submissions to institutional documentation standard.

6
Deliver & Support

Stay engaged through execution, technical audit, and post-transaction support as the asset moves forward.

Strategic Advantage

What sets the team apart.

Most firms are strong in the field or strong in the deal room. Few are built, from the ground up, to be equally credible in both — and fewer still can prove it with a leadership bench this deep.

Complementary expertise, one bench

Deep, complementary expertise across finance, engineering, and geoscience — staffed together on every engagement rather than consulted separately and stitched together after the fact.

160+ years of combined experience

Across the leadership team, more than 160 combined years of industry experience — enough depth to have seen most versions of the problem an operator is facing before.

Cross-border operational fluency

Operational understanding spanning Nigeria and the United States, so regulatory nuance, contracting norms, and investor expectations are never a translation exercise.

Established capital relationships

Established partnerships with venture capital, investment firms, and international oil and gas companies — relationships built over years, not assembled for a single deal.

End-to-end operational readiness

Operational readiness spanning exploration through development, meaning the same team that models an asset can also stand behind the plan to build it.

Governance-first discipline

A governance-first approach shaped by Big Four financial rigor and regulatory discipline — audit-ready thinking applied from the first engagement, not retrofitted under pressure.

Leadership Bench

160+ combined years, built across three markets.

Our leadership bench draws on more than 160 combined years across upstream operations, subsurface science, and corporate finance — built in Nigeria, the United States, and international markets, and shaped by Big Four rigor. That range is what lets us move fluidly between a rig site and a regulator's desk, between a reservoir model and an investment committee.

Beyond Oil & Gas

Mining & Natural Resources

The same dual-track discipline that underpins our oil and gas work extends naturally into mining and the wider natural resources sector — sectors that share the same underlying challenge: technically complex assets that only get built with disciplined financial and regulatory backing.

Aerial view of natural resource processing and storage infrastructure

Haricot Energies extends its upstream oil and gas capability into mining and natural resources, applying the same integrated technical-financial model to mineral and resource assets across Nigeria and international markets. Resource geology, extraction economics, and regulatory frameworks differ in their detail from petroleum — but the underlying discipline is the same one our bench was built on.

Whether the asset is a producing mine, an exploration concession, or a resource-backed financing structure, our approach starts with the same question we ask on every oil and gas engagement: what does the subsurface actually support, and what does the balance sheet actually need it to deliver?

  • Geological & resource evaluation
  • Mine planning & feasibility support
  • Resource asset valuation
  • Environmental & regulatory compliance
  • ESG & sustainability advisory
  • Natural resource project finance
  • Local content & community compliance
  • Technical & operational audits
