Practical tools

Compare costs. Check readiness.

Browser-based worksheets for crude costs, LNG-to-Power projects, finance documents and project evidence. Inputs are not sent to a server.

Tool 01 · Crude oil

Crude oil landed-cost calculator

Compare candidate cargo costs in the same currency and on the same delivery basis. Refining yields, taxes and quality adjustments require a separate model.

Estimated landed cost$76.70per barrel

Total cargo value: $76,700,000
Adjustments to benchmark: $1.70/bbl

The result is an arithmetic sum of your inputs. Separately record whether it includes the contractual pricing period, exchange rates, yields, demurrage, taxes and regulatory costs.

Tool 02 · LNG-to-Power

Readiness check across 7 workstreams

0 = unverified; 1 = assumptions only; 2 = draft or under discussion; 3 = approved evidence and an assigned owner.

Readiness score0%

Many core assumptions remain. Establish the evidence and responsible parties before proposing an FID date.

Demand & dispatchLoad scenarios and plant utilization are documented.LNG procurementVolume, price and flexibility terms reflect the dispatch scenarios.TerminalBerthing, storage and regasification capacity and the permitting process are confirmed.PipelineRoute, pressure, completion date, ownership and operating responsibilities are defined.CCGTPerformance criteria, gas quality and EPC/O&M responsibilities are aligned.GridResponsibilities for connection, reinforcement, dispatch and curtailment are documented.Contracts & financeSchedules and risk definitions align across the PPA, fuel and EPC agreements.

Tool 03 · Finance

Finance data-room checklist

Mark an item complete only when you have the current approved documents, an assigned owner and traceable sources for model inputs.

Tool 04 · Project development

Project evidence check: 8 areas

Distinguish a concept from a project ready to proceed. 0 = unverified; 1 = assumptions or indirect evidence; 2 = draft or conditional evidence; 3 = current original records and an identified owner.

Evidence readiness0%

8 areas rely on assumptions. Confirm authority and obtain original records before proposing a schedule or projected returns.

Authority & contractingOriginal records confirm the authority of the proposer, seller, client and signatory, and the contracting route.Product, feedstock & routeProduct or feedstock specifications, ownership and availability match the physical supply route.Site & facility rightsRights to use the site, terminal or facility and responsibility for operations and inventory control are confirmed.Demand & sales contractsDemand volume, quality, duration and pricing evidence are distinguished from the buyer’s credit standing.Permits, environmental & socialRequired permits, procedural dependencies, responsible parties and environmental/social risk controls are documented.Technical scope & CAPEX/OPEXTechnical scope and key cost inputs have sources, reference dates and sensitivities, with responsible parties assigned.Payment security & financePayment methods, cash-flow timing, collateral, insurance and financing conditions are aligned.Governance & data roomClaims and evidence, decision records, open items and authority to proceed or stop are tracked.
