Traditional Energy

Even as the world shifts toward renewables, traditional energy sources remain central to ensuring reliable supply and price stability, owing to their established infrastructure and storage capacity.

Natural Gas Supply

European nations have faced significant challenges in their natural gas supply in recent years, including volatile prices and supply disruptions. Newrecon helps clients in Europe – governments, utilities, and major industrial consumers – to diversify and secure their natural gas supply.

We advise on structuring long-term supply agreements with reliable producers, identifying alternative pipeline routes, and leveraging emerging sources, such as the Eastern Mediterranean or Caspian gas. Our consultants stay informed about market trends and infrastructure developments. For instance, Europe's LNG import capacity is expanding rapidly to offset the reduced Russian pipeline gas. We capitalize on such trends to benefit our clients. Newrecon ensures that European clients achieve their energy security and competitive pricing in their natural gas portfolios.

LNG Supply

Europe has shifted a significant share of gas sourcing from pipelines to LNG, with U.S. cargoes playing a significant role. Asian demand continues to influence global balances, while OPEC+ policy and unplanned outages drive price volatility. Refining capacity additions in the Middle East and Asia, along with periodic maintenance in Europe, result in uneven margins across regions. Freight, insurance, sanctions compliance, and financing constraints add further complexity to trading flows.

How we help

• Long-term and spot supply strategies for LNG

• Contracting (SPAs, MSAs, lifting programs), tenders, and counterpart due diligence

• Regas and storage access, capacity booking, and portfolio optimization

• Price risk management (indexation choices, optionality, and hedging coordination)

• Sanctions/export-control compliance and bankability reviews

• Transaction support for infrastructure (terminals, pipelines, storage, refineries)

Our edge

We combine energy market execution with policy and regulatory insight, helping clients align commercial moves with the political and legal environment in each jurisdiction.

Crude Oil Supply from Africa and the Persian Gulf – Extraction & Transport

Newrecon Inc. facilitates strategic partnerships and deals to supply crude oil from production centers in Africa and the Persian Gulf to refineries and markets worldwide. In the wake of global realignments, many importers (including European refiners) are seeking to replace oil from unstable or sanctioned sources with alternatives from Africa and the Middle East.

We leverage our network across major oil-producing countries, including Nigeria, Angola, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, and more, to connect buyers and sellers for mutual benefit. Our consulting services include sourcing crude grades that meet refiners' specifications, assisting with contract negotiations (including term contracts, spot deals, or government-to-government agreements), and ensuring that logistical arrangements (shipping and insurance) are in place. European refiners and traders have diversified their sources away from unstable or sanctioned regions, increasing purchases from West Africa and the Persian Gulf.

By bridging continents, we help ensure a steady flow of oil from wellhead to refinery, at terms that make sense for all parties.

Oil Refining Projects

We provide consulting for oil refining projects and refinery modernization in various countries. Building or upgrading a refinery is a complex endeavor involving huge capital outlay, technology choices, and regulatory approvals. Newrecon guides national governments and investors through feasibility studies, partnership development, and execution planning. Our experts have a global perspective: we understand that the refining industry is shifting, with new capacities coming online, especially in Asia and the Middle East, while some older facilities in Europe and North America face downsizing.

Many developing economies, particularly in Africa, are investing in refining to reduce dependence on imported fuels – e.g., Angola has multiple new refineries under construction aiming to start by 2027, Ghana and the Republic of Congo are adding approximately 100,000 barrels/day by 2026 with Chinese partnership, and Uganda's first refinery is slated for 2027 with UAE investment.

Newrecon taps into this momentum by helping clients craft projects that are viable amid global competition. Our services include selecting appropriate refining technology licensors, identifying potential foreign investors or off-takers, advising on securing feedstock supply contracts, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. We also help manage stakeholder relations – for example, if a project is of strategic interest to both the local government and foreign partners, we align the objectives and facilitate communication.

Our goal is to see new refineries built on time and on budget, and to optimize existing refineries for greater profitability and cleaner output. By doing so, we contribute to energy self-sufficiency and economic growth in the host countries.

Energy-Generating Equipment Supply

Under our energy consulting umbrella, Newrecon assists clients with the procurement and supply of energy-generating equipment. This includes equipment for power generation (such as gas turbines, steam turbines, and generators), renewable energy systems (solar panels and wind turbines), and associated infrastructure (transformers and control systems). The demand for modern energy equipment is surging as countries expand their power grids and transition to cleaner energy sources – global investment in electricity infrastructure and generation is on track to reach record levels in the coming years.

We help governments and project developers navigate this market to arrange financing or export credit where needed, and oversee the supply chain from factory to installation site.

We have relationships with leading OEMs in North America, Europe, and Asia, which allows us to present our clients with multiple options. For instance, if a country is looking to add a 500 MW gas-fired power plant, we can solicit proposals from suppliers such as GE, Siemens, or Mitsubishi and evaluate them based on their technical and economic merits.

We also advise on life-cycle support – ensuring that maintenance, spare parts, and training are included in the procurement, so the equipment remains reliable in the long term. By ensuring our clients acquire state-of-the-art, efficient, and reliable energy equipment, Newrecon supports them in meeting growing electricity demand and emissions targets. This could mean securing distributed generation units for a remote area, providing solar farm components under a tight timeline, or upgrading an aging power station with new turbines to boost output and efficiency.
