OUR SERVICES

From upstream gas production to downstream delivery, ERM delivers the insight and execution operators need to succeed across the gas value chain.

 

 

We partner to de‑risk and deliver capital projects with predictable, on time execution.

Developers

From FERC and NEPA in the US to DCO consenting in the UK and EU EIA processes, and international financing standards, we navigate the regulatory and financing pathways that gate project sanction. By aligning permitting strategies with lender expectations and EPC delivery requirements from the outset, we help de-risk projects to move faster to FID, construction, and operations with greater execution certainty and resiliency.

Lenders

By assessing permitting, environmental, and governance risks early and aligning project strategies with lender requirements, we reduce uncertainty and strengthen credit decisions. Our measurement-grade governance aligned to EP4 and IFC standards, combined with robust GHG accounting and lifecycle insights, enables transparent covenants, credible monitoring, and financing readiness from development through operations.

EPCs

By integrating permitting requirements, risk management, and environmental considerations into design and execution, we help minimize delays and avoid rework during design and construction. Our understanding of developer priorities and lender expectations ensures smoother delivery and more predictable outcomes from notice to proceed through commissioning, ultimately reducing costs and accelerating projects.

Operators

By carrying forward developers, lenders, and EPC success factors including, permitting commitments, risk controls, and design intent, we help protect long-term asset value and maintain cost efficient compliance. Our lifecycle experience supports transition from development into stable operations, enabling operators to optimize performance, reduce operational risk, and sustain value from day one.
