Many market commentators are forecasting increased corporate merger and acquisition activity in the Australian oil and gas sector. This activity presents industry participants with significant opportunities to increase shareholder value.An effectively designed acquisition approach (business process) assists in establishing strategic objectives to maximise value and returns to a company. Steps in a structured process include assessing the acquirer’s strengths and weaknesses, defining the strategy, identifying the range of possible targets and evaluating the preferred target prior to negotiating and completing the acquisition.Observed market evidence supports the theoretical notion that market participants determine the value of E&P companies with primary reference to the NAV (DCF) methodology. The benefits of this valuation methodology are that it attempts to rigorously capture the effect of large changes in production over time and the irregular nature of E&P companies’ capital expenditure programs.Effective due diligence supports the decision-making process by identifying the risk factors that can make or break a deal and assists to clarify the transaction whilst effective structuring of the acquisition will minimise value-loss through tax leakages etc.

Integrasi Teknologi Informasi (TI) lintas unit-unit usaha yang independen adalah suatu usaha yang sarat tantangan, terutama karena standar-standar yang berbeda untuk infrastruktur dan aplikasi TI di masing-masing unit. Untuk memastikan keberhasilannya dibutuhkan mekanisme-mekanisme tata kelola TI untuk meminimasi risiko-risikonya. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan suatu pendekatan berbasis COBIT (Control Objective for Information and Related Technology) untuk mengidentifikasi mekanisme tata kelola TI yang dibutuhkan oleh PT X, sebuah perusahaan di sektor minyak dan gas bumi, dalam mengintegrasikan TI lintas empat anak perusahaannya yang sebelumnya berdiri sendiri. Berdasarkan mekanisme tata kelola yang dibutuhkan dan kondisi tata kelola TI yang sudah berjalan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa proses integrasi TI PT X memiliki peluang yang cukup tinggi untuk berhasil. Integration of Information Technology (IT) across independent business units is a business full of challenges, primarily because of different standards for IT infrastructure and IT applications in each unit. To ensure the success of IT integration, it needs IT governance mechanisms to minimize the risks. This research used an approach based on COBIT (Control Objective for Information and Related Technology) to identify the mechanisms of IT governance required by PT X, a company in the oil and gas sector, in integrating IT across four subsidiaries that previously stood alone. Based on the necessary governance mechanisms and the conditions of the IT governance that already run, it can be concluded that the process of IT integration at PT X has a fairly high chance to succeed.

The article shows that the implementation of oil and gas companies will be implemented in many sectors of the global economy, including the main development sector-manufacturing industry. In Kazakhstan, “positive” experience has been accumulated in connection with the implementation of the oil and gas sector, because it is one of the main aspect of the global industries in our republic. The purpose of this article is to identify trends in the innovative development of the manufacturing industry, as well as to systematize the basic elements of the development industry and economic growth of the country. The correlation analysis will show how the innovation activity of the companies influencing on the GRP of the country. The potential of the company contains any and all available resources: financial, labor, material, immaterial and others, as well as the ability of managers to manage these resources in order to create products and services and to maximize earnings. For the purpose of getting the full company value the company’s potential should be taken into account while applying the income method for valuation oil and gas companies, in calculating the discounted cash flows. The potential management can influence the value of a company and, consequently, the company management.

A methodological approach for conducting a technological foresight at the corporate level has been proposed. A corporate foresight based on general methodological approaches used in world practice should take into account a number of additional factors imposed by the specifics of the industry and organization in order to obtain a list of priority technologies and technological directions relevant to the company’s activities. Methodological approach is based on the concept “Markets-Trends-Technologies”. Global markets research allows us to determine key problems and trends of society evolution in economic, social, political and other arears. The transition to the corporate level is carried out by identifying trends in the company’s industry. The methodology have described in detail the methods of attracting experts to assess the power of mutual influence of trends and technologies. The results of the assessment can be used for subsequent technological mapping in scientific and technical forecasting and strategic planning.

Modern corporate practices have been slow to come to grips with the risks of large capital expenditure projects, particularly the processes of due diligence on investment submissions and high level monitoring of project implementation.Unlike the mining sector where major project cost blowouts have received intense public scrutiny, collection of data on this issue is difficult in the oil and gas sector and there remains a reluctance of companies to share horror stories. The increasing trend towards company acquisitions rather than exploration, the rates of return on capital investments reported by oil and gas companies and the data available on this issue within the mining industry point towards a potential problem for the oil and gas industry and one that, with appropriate corporate practice could be more readily identified.This paper puts forward the case for more effective corporate practices in relation to large capital projects in optimising return on capital and discusses the role of project owner senior management and the key factors impacting on capital expenditure blowouts.Effective project due diligence, monitoring of project implementation and integration management are put forward as the three key focuses for Boards and management in ensuring that cost blowouts are avoided.

The welfare of the people of West Papua who are depicted by macroeconomic conditions are still very far from the desired expectations. West Papua's HDI since the establishment of the Province has always been ranked at the bottom 2-3 of 32-34 provinces. The number of poor people although decreasing every year is still above the national average. On the other hand the development funds that have been used to build the economy in West Papua are quite large. From this description it needs to be questioned whether financial management has changed the economic performance of West Papua Province? The conclusion are 1) West Papua is more dominated by the oil and gas sector, mining which during this period experienced a decline in output, 2) the number of exports in the oil and gas sector and mining sector affecting employment in all sectors 3) Increased allocation of capital expenditure over the past 5 years is inconsistent and less giving encouragement to the creation of output in productive sectors, 4) Allocation of expenditure to the agricultural strategic sector is only 3 to 4.6 percent of expenditure allocation which results in stagnant middle and lower income, 5) Effectiveness of expenditure allocation less synchronous because spending allocations are dominated by government administration spending.
