Boosting industrial development through the hydrocarbons value chain
In Project Management we plan, manage and execute projects under the best practices at a global level.
We accompany the entire project lifecycle, from visualization and conceptualization to final execution, supported by a team of highly qualified specialists in each required area.
1. Project Life Cycle (Implementation Phases)
Phase I: Visualization (Identification and Feasibility)
Defining the preliminary scope and aligning it with business goals.
Technical, economic and environmental pre-feasibility studies.
Identification of initial constraints (legal, environmental and operational).
Phase II: Conceptualization (Selection of Alternatives)
Conceptual Engineering Development.
Evaluation and selection of the most efficient technological or operational alternative.
Class V/IV cost estimation and business case development.
Phase III: Definition and Planning (Detailed Design)
Basic and Detailed Engineering Development.
Structuring the project using the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure).
Establishing the Baseline: Master schedule, resource allocation and final budget (Class II).
Phase IV: Execution and Control (Construction and Commissioning)
Procurement and purchasing management of critical equipment.
Construction, installation and monitoring of physical progress on site.
Commissioning, loop testing and safe start-up of equipment.
Phase V: Closure (Transfer and Lessons Learned)
Formal handover of assets to the operations team or end customer.
Administrative, financial and contractual closure of suppliers.
Documentation of the final project dossier and record of lessons learned.
2. Pillars of Management Control and Assurance
To maintain the project's health in real time, comprehensive management relies on a quantitative control system:
Control Area
Key Tools
Main Objective
Time and Progress
Costs and Performance
Precedence networks, Critical Path Method (CPM), and planning software.
S-curves for progress, Earned Value Analysis (EVA), and cash flow control.
Quality and Documentation
Traceability matrices, technical approval flows, and change control.
Monitor slack and anticipate delays in key deliverables.
Measure the efficiency of actual spending against the physical progress made.
Avoid scope corruption and ensure the validity of plans and specifications.
3. Synergy of the Specialist Team (Multidisciplinary Management)
The success of this approach lies in the early integration of key stakeholders:
Coordination of Specialties:
Alignment of specialist engineers (process, mechanical, civil, instrumentation and control) to ensure that the design is fully constructible and safe.
Interface Management:
Control of relationships and communications between designers, equipment manufacturers, construction contractors and project oversight.
Risk Management:
Proactive identification of events that may impact execution (procurement delays, weather conditions, technical unforeseen events) and formulation of immediate mitigation plans.
We are a driving force in the country's energy sector.
