The Impact

Maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) materials typically represent 15–20% of the operating costs for a mature oil and gas asset. Of this, a substantial proportion is comprised of high-value repairable equipment such as motors, compressors and pumps. This equipment is often at bottlenecks in the production process and so the impact of materials cost on profitability is magnified by the production ramifications of an outage. Effective management of this equipment is key to the sustainable, profitable operation of any oil and gas asset, and is key to improving the competitiveness of the Australian industry. Oil and gas companies are adopting a variety of models to handle the repair process, with varying degrees of success. Challenges include: poor materials availability and lack of traceability; complex infield materials management processes resulting in costly wastages; difficulty in managing consistency, suitability and specifications of repairs; high cost for those undertaking the repairs; and, correct allocation of responsibility and risk in the materials management process. Developed in collaboration with Australian oil and gas operators, with input from case studies outside the oil and gas industry, this extended abstract discusses the roles and opportunities for the circular economy in helping companies to meet their sustainability and profitability targets. Using several real-life examples, it makes recommendations for vendors, service providers and operators that can have material impact on the profitability of the industry.

This study examines the impact of crisis management on employee’s performance in the Yemeni oil and gas industry. Crisis management was measured by two dimensions; crisis preparedness and crisis prevention. Whereas employee’s performance was measured by three diminutions; task performance, adaptive performance, and contextual performance. The study uses a quantitative approach. Questionnaires were used to collect data from 6 oil and gas companies. The sample comprises of 351 participants, out of which 268 (74.23%) responded. The reliability of the instruments was examined and the results of the Cronbach’s Alpha was .906, indicating an excellent reliability. The results of regression analysis reveal that crisis management as the whole independent variable has a significant impact on employee’s performance as dependent variable. Furthermore, the results of regression analysis reveal that there is a significant relationship between crisis management and employee’s performance in terms of crisis preparedness, crisis prevention, and employee’s performance. Essentially, crisis appraisals should include testing as an integral aspect of planning for any eventuality. Ultimately, organizations should install communication units or structures and ensure employees are trained well. This study has made some recommendations for oil and gas companies.

The relevance of the chosen topic is connected to the fact that in the conditions of value-based management, market capitalization acts as a key indicator of the company efficiency. At the present time, when the Russian oil and gas industry has become the object of international sectoral sanctions, the identification of the impact of these sanctions on the domestic oil and gas companies’ value is of great practical importance. The article considers the cost of oil and gas companies and the impact of sectoral sanctions and negative dynamics of oil prices. The study was conducted using econometric modeling tools. For analysis 4 of the oil company with the largest market share, namely PJSC “Rosneft Oil Company”, PJSC “LUKOIL”, JSC “Gazprom Neft” and PJSC “Tatneft”, which in the aggregate represent 62% of the entire Russian oil industry, were selected. The features of valuation of Russian oil and gas companies are covered. The sanctions in the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation are considered, the consequences of their introduction and the fall of the world oil price are analysed. The analysis to determine the impact of the cost of oil and gas companies from international sanctions and oil prices. It was found that in the oil industry market capitalization depends directly on the price of oil, and in the gas industry this impact is absent. It was discovered that due to the low level of oil prices, the sanctions did not have a significant influence on the cost of oil and gas companies.

Fuel and energy industry rules one of the well-positioned markets in the world economy which supplies planet’s most needed and limited resources with evergrowing demands. Being a marketable supplier and leading movement of large flows of capital requires being surely treated as a leading investor, employer, and taxpayer. Taxation of fuel and energy industry, especially oil and gas industry has been an irreplaceable source of revenue for oil and gas exporting economies. New taxation rules, methods, and types have been regularly introduced to keep an optimal balance between government and company to keep both fiscal and corporate stability. However, taxation always does not stimulate corporate stability and in most cases hinders expansion. Changes in taxation directly effect in profitability and perspectives of the company. This paper examined the impact of taxation on the profitability of oil and gas companies in Uzbekistan. Model-based analysis proved that tax factors negatively influenced the profitability of selected oil and gas companies.

Subject. The article addresses the EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF ratios of the twenty five largest public oil and gas corporations from 2008 to 2018. Objectives. The purpose is to identify key trends in the value of EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF ratios of biggest public oil and gas corporations, determine factors resulted in the changes over the studied period, and establish the applicability of these multipliers for assessing the business value within the industry. Methods. I apply methods of comparative and financial-economic analysis, and generalization of consolidated financial statements data. Results. The study revealed that EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF multiples are acceptable for valuing oil and gas companies. The EV level depends on profitability, proved reserves, and a country factor. It is required to adjust EBITDA for information on impairment, revaluation and write-off for assets that are reported separately from depreciation, depletion and amortization costs, as well as for income or expenses arising after the sale of fixed assets and as a result of effective court decisions or settlement agreements. It is advisable to adjust DACF for income, expenses and changes in assets and liabilities, which are caused by events that are unusual for oil and gas companies. Conclusions. The application of EV/EBITDA and EV/DACF multiples requires a detailed analysis and, if necessary, adjustments of their constituent components. However, they are quite relevant in the context of declining profitability and growing debt burden in the stock exchange sector of the global oil and gas industry.

The Impact

Since the beginning of the 19th century, we have assisted major proliferation of the oil and gas industry. This phenomenon of exponential growth is due to the fact that oil companies hold the world’s oil monopoly on the extraction, processing and commercialization. Therefore, as being one of the most influential sectors in the world, is crucial to strictly regulate how oil and gas contracts concerns the potential environmental and social impacts arising from the conduct of petroleum operations and how such behavior affects the human rights. As a matter of fact, the social issues field is an emerging area, and despite such importance, oil contracts do not often deal with them in great detail, corresponding to an actual emptiness of the human rights provisions. In terms of responsibly, oil companies, have an inalienable obligation to ensure that their actions do not violate human rights or contribute for their violation. This study aims to trace a detailed analysis of the impact of the oil and gas agreements in human rights. In order to fully comprehend the deep effects of this industry, we will examine, in detail, numerous of published oil and gas agreements, as well as, decode which are the real standards and practices accepted by this industry. We will use a deductive and speculative reasoning. We will try to demonstrate how incipient and short protection is given to human rights and what responsible conducts must urgently be developed.
