Deloitte_Practicum_Project

This project prioritized fracking sites for an offshore gas company, which has limited funding. The prioritization goal is based upon 3 criterias - economic, geospatial, and media sentiment. Each of the criterias includes several sub criterias as well. In this analysis the biggest challenge was analyzing qualitative data, and in order to do so, we utilized the Analytical Hierarchy Process, which helped us find the best results that meet our goal. After applying the methods to analyze multiple drilling sites in Colorado, 18 fracking sites are successfully selected and prioritized. The methodology can be applied to other states and countries to prioritize fracking sites. It is important to note that the framework used for this project is modifiable based on clients’ needs; the prioritization criterias explained above were chosen specific to our client’s needs.
