About

Senior expertise. Regional depth.

Energy Frame was founded in 2021 by senior figures from the North African oil and gas industry, including former leadership inside the National Oil Company of Libya. We work as a partner to operators, governments, and investors who need experienced hands on the ground.

Our work spans the full lifecycle of an oil and gas project — from the first geological evaluation through field development and production. We are technical specialists by training and operators by experience. The same senior principals who scope your project also work it.

We bring the technical depth of decades inside the National Oil Company of Libya and partner operators, combined with the network and judgment of senior business leadership.

What we do

Three practices across the project lifecycle.

Most engagements use more than one practice — a field evaluation often becomes a development plan, which often becomes a market entry conversation. Senior principals lead every project from first call to final report.

01

Geological & Technical

We evaluate the rock so you know what's in the ground before committing capital. Geology, geophysics, reservoir behavior, economics, environment.

  • Geological & geophysical evaluation
  • Reservoir studies & petroleum engineering
  • Geochemical analysis
  • Petroleum economics
  • Environmental impact assessment
  • Field development planning
02

Management Consulting

We help operators move into or expand across North Africa. Joint ventures, regulatory pathways, local partners, and the realities on the ground.

  • Market entry advisory
  • Joint venture & partnership structuring
  • Regulatory & government affairs
  • Operational due diligence
  • Project management oversight
  • Local supplier & contractor networks
03

Training & Events

Technical workshops and industry conferences. Useful when your team needs new skills, or when you need to be in the same room as the regional buyers.

  • Technical training in geology & engineering
  • Industry conferences & networking events
  • Custom corporate training programs
  • NOC & ministry workshops
Where we work

Five markets. One regional team.

Our principals have built careers in these countries. We know the regulators, the operators, and the service partners on the ground — relationships that take years to develop and can't be rented from a global firm.
