About International Maritime Associates and World Energy Reports:

International Maritime Associates (IMA) was formed in 1973 to provide market analysis, strategic planning, business development and project implementation support to clients in the offshore and marine sectors. IMA’s 170+ clients in 40+ countries have included offshore field operators, EPC contractors, equipment manufacturers, fabricators, engineering and technology firms, financing institutions, others.

World Energy Reports (WER) was formed in 2013 as an IMA spinoff to develop online databases and produce multi-client research reports in the offshore energy sector. Over the past seven years WER has built databases in three major offshore sectors -- floating production, offshore wind energy and floating liquefaction and regasification. WER has also published multi-client reports in each of these three sectors – with many of the key sector players among our clients.

Spearheading our consulting services and business intelligence gathering is Jim McCaul, managing director and founder of both IMA and WER. Jim has provided market analysis, strategic planning assistance and project implementation support to many of the world’s major field operators and offshore contractors.

Supporting our business intelligence gathering is a network of liaison personnel globally postioned in all major offshore markets – and an IT staff in our New York office with extensive experience in developing and managing sophisticated online databases.

WHY SHOULD I PURCHASE A MARKET INTELLIGENCE PACKAGE?

• Floating production is a large, complex market with many moving pieces. Deepwater discoveries are made on a continuing basis as operators search for oil in new locations. Development options evolve as more is known about the reservoir and field complexity. Technology for accessing deepwater reservoirs continues to improve. The supply chain competitive landscape changes as players enter and exit the sector.
  
  
• Our business intelligence package provides the information needed to keep abreast of these developments. We immediately provide data on new discoveries that have potential to require a floating production system. Then we track the discovery as it moves through the exploration, appraisal, field planning and contracting stages – which can extend over 5+ years. When the production floater contract is placed we provide data on contract terms.
  
  
• The database is designed for use by field operators, EPC contractors, fabricators, equipment suppliers, leasing companies, investors and other companies active in the deepwater sector. The information enables the user to prioritize market strategy in the deepwater market and optimize position on the competitive landscape.
