With over 25 years’ experience, Pierre Lhermitte has a triple background: technical, business and political.<\/p>\n

Pierre joined the TOTAL Group as Marine and Logistics Manager. His years spent as logistics manager in Angola and Yemen have given him an in-depth understanding of the workings of complex structures operating in a particular environment, characterized by a constant race against the clock and major industrial and financial risks.<\/p>\n

Having witnessed numerous examples of operational waste in the upstream oil sector, Pierre has been interested in the mechanism of cost escalation for almost 15 years, and now offers an exclusive analysis of the root causes of the phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Observing that operational cost overruns are particularly detrimental to African producing countries, Pierre has developed a specific approach to maximizing the added value of oil and gas projects, in which local content is no longer an end in itself, but a lever among others. He now proposes to complement this continental approach with country-specific strategies, promoted through advice to the public and private sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
