Engagement model

It starts with a conversation about one market question that matters to your business. We talk through what is happening, what is still uncertain and what it could mean commercially. Then we work out together what would help most: deeper analysis, regular advice or training for your team.

One conversation

Four ways to carry on

On-demand analysis

A specific market or commercial question, answered with numbers. Refinery economics, crude selection, trade flows, price exposure, a scenario: we bring the data that bears on the decision in front of you.

Best for urgent questions, a deep dive on one issue, sizing a commercial impact.
Regular market briefings

Scheduled briefings and market reviews, and a call when something big happens. Each one covers what has changed, why it matters and what to watch next.

Best for leadership teams, and trading and commercial groups that want a standing view.
XA Insights membership

A subscription to our research, our own analysis and XA i-Dots, so you keep a continuous view of the market. You can commission more analysis whenever you need it.

Best for analysts and decision-makers who want independent research all year.
Competency sessions

Practical sessions built around your team: oil market fundamentals, refining economics, crude and product trade flows, how prices form, scenario analysis. We work from real cases.

Best for technical, commercial and leadership teams that want sharper skills and more confidence in their calls.

You don’t have to choose one. Most engagements start small, with a single conversation or one piece of analysis, and grow as your priorities and the market change.

XA Advisory. Where market insight becomes conversation, conviction and action.

Client
Prices jumped on the headlines this morning. Is supply really at risk?
XA analyst
Some of it is. But most of the barrels in question were already priced in. What matters now is how long the disruption lasts.
Client
And if it lasts?
XA analyst
Then the question becomes which barrels are short, crude or products. That’s where we’d focus.
Client
That changes how we plan. Can we go through the scenarios this week?
