Industrial Energy Project Review – From Concept to Execution Readiness
This sample case study is presented
to illustrate how Project, Industry & Engineering Review Hub conducts
project reviews and delivers structured, experience-based insights to
support decision-making.
All information provided in this
case study is generalized and non-confidential, intended solely for
demonstration purposes.
Project
Overview
Project Type: Industrial Energy Project (Gas-Based Power & Utilities)
Project Stage: Feasibility / Pre-FEED
Sector: Energy & Industrial Utilities
Objective: Evaluate technical feasibility, execution readiness, and
commercial viability
The project aimed to develop a gas-based
power and utilities facility to support industrial operations, improve
energy reliability, and optimize operational costs.
Client
Objectives
The key objectives of the project
review were to:
- Assess the technical soundness of the proposed
concept
- Evaluate technology selection and system
configuration
- Review CAPEX and OPEX assumptions
- Identify execution, operational, and risk factors
- Support go / no-go and development strategy
decisions
Scope
of Project Review
The project review covered the
following areas:
🔹 Technical & Engineering Review
- Process concept and system configuration
- Technology selection (gas engines vs gas turbines)
- Utilities integration (fuel gas, cooling, electrical,
control)
- Equipment sizing assumptions and redundancy philosophy
🔹 Feasibility & Design Maturity
- Review of feasibility study assumptions
- Assessment of design completeness and data gaps
- Constructability and operational considerations
🔹 Cost & Schedule Review
- CAPEX estimation methodology and assumptions
- OPEX drivers and sensitivity
- Preliminary project schedule and critical path
🔹 Risk Identification
- Technical and execution risks
- Fuel gas availability and quality risks
- Operation and maintenance considerations
- Safety and regulatory risks
Key
Findings
Based on the review, the following
key findings were identified:
- The selected technology was technically feasible,
but optimization opportunities existed in equipment sizing and redundancy.
- Certain CAPEX assumptions were found to be optimistic
and required adjustment to reflect market conditions.
- Utilities integration had not been fully addressed,
presenting potential execution risks.
- OPEX assumptions underestimated long-term maintenance
and operational requirements.
- The preliminary project schedule did not adequately
account for procurement lead times.
Recommendations
Our recommendations focused on
improving project robustness and decision confidence:
- Refine technology selection criteria with a life-cycle
cost perspective
- Update CAPEX and OPEX estimates using conservative and
market-aligned assumptions
- Improve utilities and interface definition during FEED
- Introduce risk mitigation measures for fuel gas quality
and availability
- Strengthen execution planning prior to EPC tendering
These recommendations were
structured to reduce project risk and improve investment confidence.
Outcome
& Value Delivered
Following the review:
- The project development strategy was refined
- Engineering assumptions were clarified
- Cost and schedule risks were reduced
- Decision-makers gained a clearer understanding of
project readiness
The project review enabled
stakeholders to proceed with the next development phase with greater
technical and commercial confidence.
Lessons
Learned
Key lessons highlighted in this case
study include:
- Early-stage project reviews significantly reduce
downstream risks
- Engineering decisions must align with commercial and
operational realities
- Design maturity is critical before committing to
execution
