Oil & Gas

Our consultants were engaged in consortium with Zoramu Consulting Group, Invest in Africa (UK) and Equity Bank to co-design the framework for, and co-implement programmes for the national Oil and Gas Industry Enhancement Centre (IEC) on behalf of international oil major Total Energies. This was to assist Total Energies in its commitment to Government of Uganda to skill hundreds of Ugandan companies and individuals to enable them effectively participate in the multi-billion dollar trans-national Oil and Gas pipeline development project, one of the largest FDI investment transactions in the country’s history.

Energy Consulting

Our solution included coverage over capital rationing evaluations, energy sector pricing theory, cost structure and breakeven analysis from first principles.

The forum is funded by, among others, British Aid and the Swedish Development Agency SIDA and In January 2020, following a competitive tendering process, the IRMG retained MAT ABACUS Business School consultants to provide support to their member organisations as part of a process to deal with these problems.
