Multiclient Studies

PWI prepares special multiclient studies that focus on specific issues of current importance to its clients. One example, NGL Markets in Louisiana, focused on the substantial impact of the emerging production of NGL-rich natural gas from the deepwater fields of the Gulf of Mexico. Another example, Business Development Opportunities in the Midstream Industry, focused on the gas processing industry's cost effective opportunities to increase NGL recovery.

In the international arena, PWI provides insight into long term LNG market developments and their impact on global LPG markets via Global Perspectives for LNG and LPG Markets. In this multiclient study, PWI provides a comprehensive view of LNG market growth and focuses on how variations in natural gas quality will impact growth in LPG production on a worldwide basis.

Natural Gas Liuids (NGL's) Midstream Expertise

PWI's expertise encompasses the complete range of midstream activities. This includes the processing, storing, transportation and marketing of NGL's.

While the condition and operation of a company's assets are important, a midstream company's activities should not be viewed within a static environment. The factors that influence a company's value can change over time. These dynamic factors include the action of competitors, changing gas quality, supply availability and future price relationships.

The design of processing equipment, pipeline configuration, existing contracts and regulatory considerations can all influence the ongoing value of a company and its assets. Petral Worldwide has the demonstrated capability of identifying and quantitatively evaluating these factors.

PWI constantly monitors the NGL midstream business, and is always reviewing factors that can influence it. Clients that routinely utilize PWI's services include major oil companies, investment bankers, hedge funds, equipment leasing companies, NGL traders, and active midstream organizations that want to better position themselves in a dynamic industry.
