We base our estimates on methodologies and knowledge developed and acquired over decades, drawing upon our heritage and the wide range of studies and projects we have delivered. 

Our proven and tested methodologies for oil and gas projects, both onshore and offshore, serve as basis for our work in emerging solutions such as carbon capture, hydrogen, offshore wind, and aquaculture. 

At Entr, we follow projects from origination to pre-FEED, providing high-level order of magnitude estimates, top-down factor based and bottom-up quantity-based estimates (typically AACE Class 5 to Class 3).
