HOUSTON, TEXAS
Strategy and operations consulting in Houston.
Houston is the center of the U.S. oil and gas industry, from producers and oilfield services to refining and petrochemicals along the Ship Channel, and is home to the Texas Medical Center's dense cluster of hospitals and research.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Houston.
Energy companies, engineering and construction firms, and the refineries and chemical plants along the Houston Ship Channel and in Baytown and Pasadena form the industrial core. The Port of Houston handles large volumes of petrochemical exports and container imports, and the Texas Medical Center anchors healthcare and life sciences. Companies are investing in LNG export and carbon capture projects, while oil price swings continue to set the pace of hiring in oilfield services.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Houston management teams.
Mid-market suppliers, fabricators and service companies here ride the oil and gas cycle, so cash planning and cost flexibility matter as much as growth. Many are trying to reduce dependence on upstream customers by selling into LNG, petrochemicals, power or infrastructure work. Hurricane exposure raises insurance costs and forces continuity planning, and private equity roll-ups are common in industrial and energy services.
