Our Research Approach

We combine multiple research methodologies to deliver reliable and actionable power, utility and oil and gas intelligence:

Primary Research

Insights gathered through interviews and interactions with utilities, EPC contractors, equipment manufacturers, oilfield service companies, industrial buyers, industry experts and other relevant stakeholders.

Secondary Research

Analysis of energy and industry databases, company reports, trade data including bills of lading, tender and project data, regulator and government publications, and other credible information sources.

Analyst Insights

Our analysts interpret market data, capacity plans, tariff and policy changes, energy transition moves, competitive movements and emerging trends to provide meaningful insights beyond raw market numbers.

How the three come together

1
Gather

Primary and secondary inputs are collected in parallel, so interviews can test what the data suggests and the other way round.

2
Triangulate

Where sources disagree, analysts work out why. A figure that can't be reconciled across sources doesn't go into a report.

3
Forecast

Projections run on 6WForecastIQ, which weighs lead indicators alongside time-series and econometric models.

Customize a report around your decision

A published report answers the questions most buyers share. Your board meeting usually has one or two that only apply to you. The analysts who built the original model do the extra work, so added countries, segments or companies line up with the numbers you already have. Typical requests include adding a tender pipeline analysis to an equipment report, or splitting the forecast by rating and end user.
