Our unique Hub Analysis Tool allows companies rapidly to assess likely export options and issues, relating to their discoveries and high-graded prospects as well as new business opportunities (farm-ins, license rounds, asset or acreage deals). Infrastructure owners will understand better the likely or potential future throughput, providing key insights for planning purposes. The tool incorporates an economic estimator. Inputs include all standard variables, such as oil and gas prices, discount rate, inflation etc. This is used to calculate commercial indicators for all opportunities competing for available ullage.

- Hub revenue streams
- Scenarios to reflect changes in product prices, different discount rates, varying tie-back distances etc
The benefits to companies include:
