What Role Does Oil and Gas Go To Market Strategy Consulting Play in Market Success?

The global oil & gas industry is being reshaped like never before. With the sector valued at USD 7.5 trillion and more than 40 countries revising energy, carbon, and exploration policies in the last two years, the rules of expansion are shifting rapidly. 

For energy companies, entering a new market is about navigating policy, carbon mandates, logistics, pricing volatility, and stakeholder ecosystems with precision. 

This is where Nexdigm’s Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy Consulting helps organizations expand with clarity, speed, and compliance. 

Challenges in Oil and Gas Expansion Without a GTM Strategy

• Regulatory and Policy Misalignment: More than 70 countries now enforce local-content rules, while fiscal regimes for E&P vary by up to 40% across regions. 
• Operational Inefficiencies and Infrastructure Gaps: Weak pipeline networks, port bottlenecks, and storage shortages can increase logistics costs by 12–25%, delaying project commissioning. 
• Commercial Misalignment and Pricing Volatility: With crude price fluctuations often exceeding USD 25–35/barrel annually, inaccurate pricing models can erode profitability even before full-scale rollout. 
• Inadequate Partner and Stakeholder Engagement: Nearly 30% of failed energy JV projects globally stem from misaligned or under-evaluated local partners. 

A structured GTM strategy prevents these pitfalls, turning expansion into a predictable, risk-mitigated journey.

Nexdigm Case 

A mid-sized oilfield services provider aiming to enter a GCC market faced licensing ambiguity, partnership gaps, and rising costs. Nexdigm conducted a rapid GTM feasibility study, mapped regulations, and shortlisted 12 partners. This enabled the client to secure a strong JV partner, reduce logistics costs by 14%, and obtain market-entry approvals 4 months faster, ensuring a smooth and compliant launch.
