The View from Gastech 2025

By Alan Duncan, SVP Contract Management

As Gastech 2025 comes to a close here in Milan, one theme kept surfacing for me: the challenge of delivering projects efficiently.

The major operators and EPCs are still pushing huge programmes forward, but it’s the mid-tier project owners who really stood out in discussions. These companies have exciting upstream opportunities and are looking to progress with leaner internal teams.

Their focus is on how to buy in capability smartly: contract management, project controls, commercial oversight, and quantity surveying support that can flex as projects progress.

This is exactly where OGCS Global adds value.

We’ve seen time and again that disciplined contract strategies and proactive commercial management aren’t just “back office” functions – this is what keep projects on track, mitigates disputes, and safeguards margins.

For clients who need scalable expertise without building large permanent teams, the message from Milan is clear. Find a partner you trust who can scale with you through the project lifecycle.

If your projects lacks the internal bench strength to manage complex contract and commercial risks end-to-end, call OGCS Global.

GASTECH 2026

Looking ahead to Bangkok in 2026, the conversation will undoubtedly sharpen around Asia’s growing energy demand and the pace of investment. For our clients, the question will be how to seize these opportunities while keeping delivery lean, risk-aware, and commercially resilient.

The view from Milan is clear: the future belongs to those who pair technical excellence with disciplined project and contract management.

We’ll see you in Bangkok next year.
