Oor Firm
Enclime operates as an independent technical advisor to organisations
making high-stakes decisions about energy and infrastructure assets.
Who We Are
Enclime is an independent advisory firm specialising in the geological and subsurface factors that influence energy systems, infrastructure resilience, and long-term capital investment.
We advise operators, investors, and infrastructure owners on basin evolution, petroleum systems, and reservoir behaviour—translating complex subsurface evidence into clear insight for exploration strategy, asset development, and infrastructure planning.
Our work sits at the intersection of geoscience, engineering, and investment decision-making, helping organisations understand the physical constraints that govern the performance and value of subsurface-dependent assets.
Our Heritage: From Imperial College London to Global Energy Systems
Enclime is led by Dr Roland Barbullushi (PhD, FGS), whose work combines the technical discipline of the Royal School of Mines with more than two decades of international experience in the energy industry.
Before founding Enclime, Roland worked on exploration and production projects across multiple basins worldwide with organisations including Shell and E.ON. His experience spans frontier and mature basins across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, from offshore West Africa to the Caspian region.
This background informs Enclime’s approach: rigorous geological analysis combined with a clear understanding of how subsurface systems influence operational outcomes and investment decisions.
Technical Intelligence for Capital Allocation
Enclime advises organisations where the performance of assets—and the success of investments—depends on a clear understanding of subsurface conditions.
Our advisory work focuses on three areas:
- Energy Assets. Advising operators and investors on basin evolution, petroleum systems, and reservoir behaviour to support exploration strategy, asset evaluation, and development planning.
- Energy Transition Systems. Applying subsurface expertise to emerging energy systems such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal energy, and underground energy storage.
- Critical Infrastructure and Asset Resilience. Advising infrastructure owners and public institutions on geological and environmental conditions that influence the safety, reliability, and long-term resilience of major infrastructure systems.
Our
Mission
Energy systems and infrastructure depend on geological foundations that are often poorly understood.
Enclime’s mission is to provide the technical intelligence required to understand those foundations, helping organisations identify the subsurface constraints that govern long-term asset performance and capital outcomes.
The Enclime Difference
Our approach is consistent across every engagement:
- Interrogate the geological evidence
- Identify the dominant constraints
- Translate subsurface uncertainty into decision-ready insight
The objective is simple: ensure that critical investment decisions are grounded in a clear understanding of subsurface reality.
Dr Roland Barbullushi, PhD, FGS
Principal Technical Advisor & Founder
Dr Roland Barbullushi is a geoscientist and strategic advisor with more than 30 years of international experience in subsurface energy systems and geological risk assessment.
He holds a PhD in Earth Sciences and Engineering from Imperial College London and is a Fellow of the Geological Society of London.
Throughout his career he has worked on exploration and development projects across multiple basins worldwide, advising on basin evolution, petroleum systems, and reservoir behaviour in both frontier and mature producing regions.
At Enclime, Roland brings this global geological perspective to the strategic evaluation of energy assets, subsurface resources, and infrastructure systems where geological conditions play a decisive role in long-term investment outcomes.
