Technical depth. Governance discipline. One point of view.
Nessted Energy Consulting LLC is a Texas-based advisory firm helping energy companies and governments bridge subsurface science, strategic governance, and sustainable leadership.
Dr. Funmi Roberts Ebiwonjumi
Founder & Principal Consultant
Dr. Funmi brings over three decades of global upstream leadership to every engagement — a career built across Shell Nigeria, Shell Houston, and PDO Oman, spanning exploration, reservoir development, and portfolio strategy in nine basins across four continents.
What sets that experience apart is not just its length, but its range: deep technical fluency in subsurface science, paired with the governance instincts of someone who has sat on the leadership side of major capital decisions. Nessted Energy Consulting exists to bring both halves of that experience — technical and governance — into the same room, for clients who have historically had to choose one or the other.
Schedule a consultationMission
To bring subsurface science, strategic governance, and values-based leadership into a single point of view for the organizations shaping the future of energy.
Vision
To be the advisory firm energy companies and governments turn to when a decision is too consequential to get from a generalist.
How we think about the work
Three principles run through every engagement, whether the deliverable is a basin assessment or a board governance program.
Subsurface strategy, capital decisions, and governance are treated as one conversation, not three separate workstreams handed to three separate firms.
Every engagement is structured to leave your team more capable than it started — not more reliant on an outside consultant to interpret the next report.
Thirty years across nine basins means fewer assumptions borrowed from someone else's playbook, and more judgment earned from direct experience.
Professional affiliations & standards
Technical work is informed by, and where applicable conducted with reference to, established industry frameworks.

Where the name comes from
Energy strategy is layered by nature — geological strata beneath commercial assumptions, beneath policy, beneath leadership decisions. "Nessted" reflects that: no layer is understood in isolation, and no recommendation is credible unless it accounts for the ones above and below it. That's the discipline we bring to every basin, every board, and every transition roadmap.
