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:

  1. The selected technology was technically feasible, but optimization opportunities existed in equipment sizing and redundancy.
  2. Certain CAPEX assumptions were found to be optimistic and required adjustment to reflect market conditions.
  3. Utilities integration had not been fully addressed, presenting potential execution risks.
  4. OPEX assumptions underestimated long-term maintenance and operational requirements.
  5. 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
