About Manaar

Manaar brings clarity to complex energy decisions

Energy powers economies, shapes geopolitics and sits at the centre of one of the world's most important investment sectors. Yet despite its scale, energy investment remains difficult to navigate. Markets are increasingly complex, risks are interconnected, and critical decisions are often made using fragmented information.

That's the challenge Manaar was built to solve.

Founded in 2010, Manaar has spent more than 15 years helping investors, operators and institutions make better energy investment decisions. We combine commercial, technical, geopolitical and operational expertise with practical execution capability to turn complex energy challenges into informed investment and operational outcomes.

Platforms - Enlite

Energy investment demands depth, not just breadth. Enlite was built to deliver it.

Enlite is Manaar's proprietary analytics framework for energy investment analysis. It combines structured data, market intelligence and scenario modelling to strengthen investment decisions across the energy value chain.

Its purpose is straightforward: reduce uncertainty and improve decision quality.

01Energy Investment Analysis

Enlite - built for the complexity of energy investment

The framework integrates primary data from national energy agencies, regulators and policymakers across MENA with Manaar's sector expertise and analytical methodologies. This creates a clearer understanding of:

  • What is happening
  • Why it is happening
  • What is likely to happen next
  • What actions should be considered

02Clear Investment Decisions

We model decisions, not just markets.

Through Enlite, we build decision models that diagnose, model scenarios and translate complex energy dynamics into clear investment decisions before capital is deployed. Examples include:

  • OPEC production policy scenarios and market impacts
  • Iraqi upstream investment dynamics
  • Gas, solar and hydrogen investment trends across key global markets
  • Saudi oil and gas capital expenditure outlooks
  • Iran-related supply risk assessments
