Improve your margin by lowering your power costs.
For Canadian oil and gas companies, power costs consistently rank in the top three operating expenses, often contributing 15-30% of total operating costs.
Oil & gas companies have detailed metrics for nearly every other aspect of the business -but how deep is your analysis of your purchased power? Who analyses your power bills? How do you analyse your power bill? How do you know if you are using purchased power efficiently?
With increasing regulatory, political, and market uncertainty affecting the oil & gas and power industries in Canada right now, protecting cash flows is paramount.
Controlling, tracking and reducing a major cost like power is a clear, actionable way to fortify your balance sheet. Even single-digit percentage improvements can deliver tens of thousands or even millions in annual savings.
