Investment Projects

1. Project Conceptualization

It is the development of a new project from its conception, identifying and quantifying the market (supply, demand, and price).

2. Market Analysis

The quantification of the present and projected market allows us to determine the size of the infrastructure required to meet this market.

3. Engineering Design

The sizing of the infrastructure is defined from the conceptual or basic engineering design, with the use of design software that allows sizing the different components of the infrastructure, with the simulation of the process flows to the required design conditions, pressure, temperature, flow rate, etc.

4. CAPEX

Unit cost structure for each activity in the construction process, resulting in a CAPEX for each system component. This CAPEX, depending on the study development level, can have a degree of accuracy according to the AACE (The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering) Class 4 or 3 standards.

5. OPEX

OPEX (operational expenditure) is the money a company or organization spends on an ongoing, day-to-day basis to run its business. OPEX includes selling, general, and administrative expense, which are costs incurred through the main business activities, or overhead.

6. Economic Financial Analysis

With the CAPEX and OPEX defined and the projected sales volume, the economic-financial analysis of the project is developed, which includes the discounted cash flow, considering the minimum cost of capital required by the investor and the level of minimum expected profitability of the project.

7. Risk Analysis

Risk Assessment:

  • Markets (supply, demand, and prices)
  • Regulatory Risks
  • Environmental and Social Risks
  • Financial Risks
  • Quality Risks
  • Logistics Risks
  • Construction Risks, among others.
