About Us

A consulting powerhouse with global exposure

PETRONOVA CONSULTING LLP was formed around a simple idea: bring the most experienced operating and project leaders from the refining, petrochemical, gas and process industries together as an independent advisory resource for owners and operators.

Who we are

Our Leadership Advisory Board of twelve distinguished leaders and PETRONOVA's own Global Resource Pool of 30+ senior consultants together represent a combined millennium of hands-on leadership experience across refining, petrochemicals, gas processing, LNG, fertilizers and process industries. Many have held senior operating, technical and leadership roles with some of the world's largest energy companies and have worked directly alongside major technology licensors and engineering contractors.

This breadth of first-hand experience — spanning a wide international footprint — is what lets PETRONOVA offer advice that is practical, technically grounded and free of the conflicts of interest that can come with licensor- or EPC-affiliated consulting.

Core Team & Hierarchy

How an engagement is led and staffed

Every engagement is governed and staffed through a clear six-level chain, from the Leadership Advisory Board to delivery consultants. See the full structure on the Leadership page.

How we work

Strategy for project engagement & delivery

A. Understand first

Every engagement begins with a structured scoping conversation (often a Diagnostic SCAN) to understand the real problem before proposing a solution.

B. Senior-led teams

Lead Principal and Principal Consultants stay directly involved throughout, supported by Senior Consultants and Consultants for detailed analysis.

C. Independent & technology-agnostic

Recommendations are driven by what is right for the client's assets, not by any licensor, vendor or contractor relationship.

D. Rigorous, data-led analysis

We use established simulation, planning, scheduling and reliability tools and processes — see Expertise & Tools.

E. Clear, actionable outputs

Deliverables are framed around implementable actions, quantified benefits and realistic timelines, not theoretical studies.

F. Long-term partnership

Many engagements are designed as the first step in an ongoing relationship — from a short SCAN to sustained advisory support.
