Representative Bespoke Projects

‍

Conducted for a renewable diesel producer to determine the extent to which benchmark prices might be influenced by one supplier.

‍

‍For an RNG producer, conducted a forecast of RNG consumption and how it would be impacted by regulations under RFS and LCFS.

‍

Long‐term price forecasts for U.S. alternative fuels and RINs based on detailed analysis of alternative fuel fundamentals, expected shifts in federal policy, LCFS regulation, and conventional fuels markets.

‍

For a major automaker conducted an analysis of the mix of U.S. energy inputs to power generation to determine the relative GHG emissions of electric vehicles sold across the country.

‍

For a U.S. refiner, prepared a country‐by‐country evaluation of market opportunities for gasoline exports to Latin America. Focusing on specific regional refinery upgrades through 2020, the study covered specification issues, biofuel blending, domestic production, demand, and retail market concentration.

‍

‍For an aluminum smelter, ESAI undertook an analysis of the impact of changing crude quality on the production of petroleum coke at North American refineries. Analyzed expected changes in refinery crude slates and impact on production and quality of the petroleum coke produced at individual refineries.

‍

Provided analysis of the future of global and regional gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene markets for a large Asian refining company. The study combined analysis of fuel specifications around the world with the ability of refiners to produce the requisite volume and quality of the relevant fuels.

‍

For Energy and Industry Department of the World Bank. A preliminary look at trade in petroleum products between industrialized and developing countries to determine if environmental regulations are influencing trade, resulting in pollution from industrialized to developing countries.

‍

‍As a contribution to the investor’s due diligence, ESAI Energy developed a 40-year forecast of production costs for 16 different types of crude oil around the world to determine the viability of an Oil Sands project.

‍

Analyzed value, pricing, and likely customers for new crude oil stream. Independent Market Advisor for the field operator and investors. Determined the value of crude oil at representative regional and individual refineries for a period of 10 years after first oil.

‍

Analyzed the global market for heavy crude to determine the likely market share and pricing for a major oil producer's own crude oil. Using individual crude oil assays and representative regional refinery configurations.

‍

‍For a number of customers, ESAI Energy prepared an analysis of the likelihood of U.S. field condensate being commingled with Canadian crude and then exported in violation of U.S. law.

‍

For a major oil company, modeled and forecasted Chinese gasoline production by the quality and estimated changes in the use of blending components in response to new fuel quality requirements; tracked and forecasted production of alkylate, MTBE, and isomerate.
