About Us

Senior operators advising across the energy value chain.

Acretio is an Project Development partner and M&A advisor for asset-intensive industrial and energy infrastructure. We combine commercial depth with practical engineering to guide transactions and energy transition projects from initial concept to secure execution. From M&A due diligence to owner's engineering, we deliver the technical clarity needed to maximize asset value.

Our work spans crude, refined products, gases, ammonia, hydrogen, and low carbon supply chains, with recent engagements across the US Gulf Coast, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle-East.

What We Do

Five practice areas, one accountable partner.

From research to due diligence on existing assets to FEL1 concept work and continued owner's engineering through FEL2 and FEL3, we stay with the project, the asset, and the operator.

Asset-Intensive M&A and Independent Valuation

Technical & Commercial Due Diligence

We live at the interface of technology, operations and finance.

We provide investment banks, private equity, buyers and sellers of infrastructure with expert advisory services covering the strategic, commercial, operational, regulatory, and technical aspects of a transaction. We can recruit or work alongside strategic consultants and engineering firms.

We also provide independent valuations.

Early-Stage Project Development

Early-stage project development
(FEL 0 through FEL 2)

With our combined track records in all aspects of the energy value chain, our commercial and technical team, has delivered several conceptual terminal designs (FEL1) in a short timeframe with quote-based CAPEX, reliable OPEX and realistic timelines. Focussed efforts, early choices and extensive network of important industry contacts are mobilized by us on your behalf.

Continued Project Development, Owner's Engineer

Our clients typically retain our team when progressing through the FEL2 and FEL3 stages. We extend and supplement their engineering and operations teams, coordinating and overseeing the progression of the conceptual design into more defined engineering and design deliverables. This results in consistency of concept, budget and timing as well as pure provision of human capacity.

Market View

Traditional Solutions… to Energy Transition

Any investment decision needs to be accompanied with a view of the supply and demand balances of each commodity the asset plans to produce, receive or handle. Our team will sort through the myriad of opinions and views and will provide decision makers with relevant and current views.
