Where deep experience meets executive judgment
An executive advisory collective — from people who have made the decisions themselves
HIRA Partners is a senior advisory collective. Our four partners bring direct experience of leading across the full oil and gas value chain — from exploration to production, from regulator to boardroom, from transaction to transformation. We work closely with our clients from the perspective of having been in the same seat.
Each client engages one HIRA partner and accesses the combined experience of all four. Before the client sees the answer, the collective has challenged, refined and quality-assured it. That is the structural advantage we offer.
We work individually or in pairs on engagements — but every hard problem benefits from the full room. Clients receive partner-level attention on every assignment. No junior layer. No overhead.
Senior advisory across the oil and gas value chain — from exploration to late-life strategy. We support executive decision-making on portfolio strategy, infrastructure, and regulatory navigation, combining deep operational experience with executive-level judgment.
Operational depth — regulatory insight.
Senior advisory for boards, executive teams and individual leaders navigating complex change and critical decisions. We advise on strategic direction, organisational challenges, and Norway market entry. Honest counsel from advisors who have held the same responsibilities.
Practical, not theoretical.
The energy transition is reshaping strategy, regulation, and commercial frameworks simultaneously. We advise on low carbon positioning, CC(U)S evaluation, and policy navigation — combining regulatory depth with commercial judgment.
Credible advice for a landscape still being written.
Transactions and negotiations demand judgment that only comes from experience. We advise on asset transactions, commercial contracts and dispute handling, and capital markets — combining operational depth with commercial precision from first consideration through to signing.
Both sides of the table.
A broad range of services and a depth of experience rarely found in one place. Engaging one partner means access to the collective experience of all — across operations, regulation, strategy, transactions, and the energy transition, serving both Norwegian and international companies at home and abroad.
For international companies operating in Norway, or any company navigating NCS licensing, CO₂ storage permitting, government stakeholder management, or Norwegian energy policy, HIRA offers the network, credibility, and insider insight that no generalist advisory firm can match.
Our partners have held the roles our clients hold. They have closed the deals, led the organisations, and been in the regulatory meetings. That is a different kind of counsel — grounded in accountability, not observation.
HIRA's energy transition capability sits exactly where clients need it — strategic, commercial, operational, and regulatory simultaneously. Live engagements, a sold CCS company, and policy-shaping experience at the highest level.
Our engagements are built on dialogue, not only deliverables. We work directly with the CEO and leadership team, iterating toward the best answer together. The relationship deepens over time, and clients call us before the problem is fully formed, not after they have written a request for proposal.
Every engagement is led and delivered by a HIRA partner. There is no junior layer behind the pitch. The experience and judgment you are buying is what shows up in the room.
Before you see our thinking, the partnership has already challenged it. Four sets of experience — regulatory, operational, commercial, transactional — applied to your problem. One partner engages; all four contribute.

We are excited to work with NMC Energy – a dynamic and fast growing decommissioning specialist.
Based in Aberdeen, NMC Energy integrates engineering, project management and execution in one agile team, challenging the norm to simplify scope and cut cost for operators.
HIRA Partners is NMC’s strategic advisor as they explore entry into the Norwegian decommissioning market – a new challenger with a proven track record. Watch this space!
Our reason for joining NICCI (www.nicci.no) is simply that as a senior advisory collective founded by former energy executives, we are well placed to help international companies navigate the Norwegian market – from entry strategy and regulatory frameworks to stakeholder management and the business culture that shapes long-term success. Norway is a relationship-driven market, and that benefits from experienced guidance.
We are equally relevant and available to Norwegian companies looking for a trusted advisor with deep roots in the energy sector and beyond.
We look forward to connecting with companies, industry organisations and institutions active in energy, maritime, technology, infrastructure and professional services.
