financial management

Financial management in the energy sector enables structured planning, cost control and capital optimization across the asset lifecycle. It includes project economics, financial performance measurement, operational cost analysis and strategic resource allocation in highly volatile environments.
Across the energy value chain, upstream, midstream, refining and terminals, financial management defines investment feasibility, portfolio sustainability and resilience to price fluctuations.
Its relevance increases in LATAM, the U.S. and Europe as the energy transition, new investment models and the demand for efficiency require organizations to reinforce financial discipline, integrate risk-based decisions and align economic performance with reliability and sustainability objectives.

This section links financial management with industrial operations, offering technical insight into cost analysis, investment planning, economic risk, and value assessment, and include:

  • Economic evaluation of energy projects
  • Cost-benefit analysis and financial return models (ROI, NPV, IRR)
  • Budgeting and operational cost control
  • CAPEX and OPEX optimization for industrial assets
  • Financial risk assessment in energy infrastructure
  • Project financing models (debt, equity, PPP)
  • Strategic financial planning for terminals, refineries and plants
  • Digital tools for financial management (ERP, BI, analytics)


Financial management enables sustainable decision-making in energy projects and operations. It ensures efficient capital use, cost control, risk evaluation, and economic feasibility analysis. A rigorous financial approach supports profitability in volatile environments and sustains investments in infrastructure, maintenance, and innovation.
