Background

About Cory Forgrave

I am an energy economist and financial analyst with expertise in royalty valuation, financial modeling, and market analysis across U.S. energy markets and tribal energy development. Over my career, I’ve supported federal, tribal, and private-sector stakeholders by translating complex energy and financial data into clear, actionable insights. At the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue, I modernized market intelligence tools by integrating Power BI and ESRI StoryMaps, enabling more transparent and accessible analysis of regional energy royalties. Previously, with Leidos and Lockheed Martin, I developed economic cash-flow models, performed risk analysis for renewable and conventional energy projects, and provided technical assistance to tribal nations seeking to advance infrastructure and energy development. My work consistently focuses on building clarity around economic impacts, improving decision-making, and supporting equitable access to energy resources. I aim to continue applying data-driven analysis and cross-sector collaboration to advance sustainable development and strengthen energy systems.
