Palmer International Partnership LLP was named Energy Consultancy of the Year (performance improvement) in the Petroleum Economist Awards 2015.

Managing partner Nick Palmer was presented with the award by Petroleum Economist Editor William Powell  at a gala dinner, held at the Banking Hall in the City of London.

The awards celebrate the people, companies and projects which epitomise the best in the energy industry. In the Energy Consultancy of the Year category, the focus is on “delivering excellent strategic or operational advice, to deliver measurable improvement in performance”.

Palmer International Partnership’s expertise in helping hydrocarbons companies to get the best performance from their facilities clearly impressed the judging panel of Abdalla El Badri, Secretary General of Opec; Torstein Indrebø, Honorary Secretary General of the IGU; and Malcolm Graham Wood, Founding Partner of HydroCarbon Capital and acclaimed industry commentator. In particular, the company’s achievement in saving one refinery $30 million a year by introducing a new hot water belt for collecting heat from various process units to pre-heat deaerator feed water.

“We are obviously proud to win such a prestigious award,” said Nick. It is fantastic for our company to be recognised in this way and serves to underline our achievement and commitment to improving energy efficiency and performance in the hydrocarbons market.”
