ABOUT THE ORGANISERS
“We work with our clients to bring them market intelligence and consultancy solutions that are bespoke, innovative, and driven by data and technology.”
Archer Knight provides market intelligence and consultancy services on the offshore energy industry.
The company was founded based on a belief that operators, service providers and supply-chain companies needed a more granular level of detail than was available elsewhere.
Now, with a combination of insight, support and analysis, Archer Knight helps its global client base deliver on their ‘last mile’. Businesses can more effectively allocate their time and resources to market entry and pursuit planning and secure the most profitable business opportunities.
Founded in Aberdeen in 2016, the company has quickly expanded into a global operation with a growing presence in Asia Pacific and the US and across the EMEA region.
A new model for market intelligence
The aim is creating a new model for delivering market intelligence, by collaborating with clients, embracing data analytics and adapting to disruptive change.
Subscribers to Archer Knight’s Alliance Market Intelligence (AMi) service gain access to Flowline®. Flowline® is a dedicated software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that gives clients a real-time view of the market with granular detail on offshore wind and oil & gas projects; vessel movements, drilling rigs, market movements and more.
Consultancy expertise
Archer Knight provides high-quality discipline support to companies across the offshore energy spectrum.
This involves acting as a ‘trusted partner’ for clients, assisting in tactical operations and strategic decision making around three key areas: diving safety and services, bespoke projects, and people.
Consultancy services include diving technical authority, business development, commercial & contractual, HSEQ & risk management, strategy and project resourcing. Archer Knight offers support for operators, contractors, and supply-chain companies and others across the sector, as well as companies in the financial, educational, and public sectors.
