Best Energy Research/Consulting Firms?

Interested in researching some of the top sell-side firms that specialize in energy sell-side research and management / strategy consulting (along the lines of Wood Mac). Would appreciate if those knowledgeable could share some names.

Much appreciated.

Sorry for being so vague ... "Alternative Energy Consulting" is what OCR calls it, not sure if that helps. Also, I'd have to talk to somebody in my Career Services department at my college; they don't specify what companies come to OCR ... But, they do have a "Meet the Industry" type thing, and all of the energy companies you can think of come to that, Exxon, Conoco, BP, ect

 

Sounds like you go to Tech. Looking at the curriculum, it looks like there is almost zero finance & accounting required. If you're interested in banking/consulting, I would definitely go for a plain finance degree, and take some energy related courses for your electives. Those type of energy commerce majors almost always end up being landmen, so keep that in mind as you make your decision.

 

Need to be a little bit more specific what type of consulting you are interested in... McKinsey, BCG, Bain all have oil and gas groups.

There are also strictly Energy focused shops like Wood Mackenzie. And as previously mentioned, there are a ton of technical consulting shops that have nothing to do with the Finance/Business side of the industry and solely do the technical part (geophysics, petrophysics, reservoir engineering, etc.)

 

Schlumberger is probably the best known energy focused shop.

Truth be told, if you're in the Houston office of any major firm, you'll have a hard time doing anything but energy work.

 

Yeah probably not a great post upon review. I assume a good bit of the clients consultants work with, regardless of what kind of consulting they do, are energy focused companies.
