Foundation Energy Advisors
Specializes in bespoke management and petroleum engineering solutions across the traditional energy and energy transition sectors. The firm provides Certified and Competent Person Reports for Oil & Gas Reserves and Resources, Asset Optimization, Expert Witness services, and Commercial support. Dwayne Stewart, a licensed petroleum engineer with over 30 years of experience, bridges the gap between operational and consulting perspectives to deliver practical, results-oriented solutions. Many clients also engage Dwayne at the Opportunity Identification and Exploration stages (aka, FEL 0 and FEL 1 stages) to help define business opportunities, brainstorm high-level solutions, and conduct preliminary risk or feasibility assessments. In fact, one client recently coined the term “dwayne-storming” to describe services rendered on a 10 mmtpa (million metric ton per annum) CCS project.
