Tremendous Impact

<p>In Nigeria today, we face a serious economic challenge which is as a result of our swindling primary source of revenue (oil), there is fear amongst our economists which is can Nigeria bounce back to what she once was? Can there be an alternative source to serve as a buffer to what we already have. This study aims to bring to prime focus, an industry which has begun blooming in the background. Despite the publicity and popularity enjoyed by today’s telecom giants in the country, there is very little knowledge pertaining to the tremendous impact that it has had directly or indirectly on our economy over the years. Since the liberalization of the telecom industry that brought about the involvement of private investors into the sector, the opportunities and revenues generated has brought about a tremendous effect on the economy. The telecom sector is only second after the oil and gas industry in the amount of finance it contributes to the federal account. This paper discusses some of the value chains, opportunities, revenue that the telecom industry has brought to Nigeria. It uses data obtained from relevant authorities.</p>

Environmental and sustainability issues have assumed significance, leading to social and legal pressures on the companies across the world to take steps to reduce and prevent adverse impact of their activities on the environment and to disclose this information to the concerned stakeholders. The present study aims at investigating the perceptions of executives from 26 listed Indian oil and gas companies on Corporate Environment Disclosures (CEDs)in the annual reports using a structured questionnaire.The questionnaire was constructed on the basis of eleven environmental indicators provided in international oil and gas industry guidelines for voluntary sustainability reporting framework. An attempt was made to determine whether the extent and type of environmental disclosures have correlation with executives’ position in the organization, their knowledge about the annual reports, their stock holdings in the company and the value stream to which the companies belonged. It was found thatthe responding executives were well aware of the environmental issues associated with activities across the value chain in the oil and gas industry. They agreed that these issues are material and must be disclosed in the annual reports, but had different perceptions on the importance of four environmental issues given in the questionnaire for disclosure in the reports. A significant statistical relationship was found between perceived corporate environmental disclosure index (PCEDI) and respondents’ positions in the company and their knowledge on the annual reports. It is suggested that a greater role to knowledgeable senior executives at key positions should be assigned to deal with sustainability disclosure affairs.

This chapter introduces the key constituent activities of the oil and gas industry and aims to outline the core benefits that the recent oil and gas discoveries in Kenya herald to the country's expectant population. It describes and analyzes the global oil and gas industry with a focus on its strategic, financial, and business aspects. It also identifies the opportunities for participation in the industry value chain through which the oil and gas revenues can be of benefit to the Kenyan people. However, the study's focus is on the creation of social value at the community or country level rather than on private shareholder value. Moreover, the chapter only examines upstream activities—that is, exploration and production—even though the implications might also apply to midstream and downstream activities.

The Impact

Oil and Gas industry in Yemen is considered as the biggest and variable sector. Therefore, the performance efficiency is very important to be attained during all the activities and phases that include searching, drilling, upstream, midstream, and downstream. As a crucial factor, stakeholders’ engagement theories have been emphasized the central role of stakeholders’ engagement to strategic planning efforts in contemporary organizations. This study therefore examined the impact of stakeholders’ engagement on the performance efficiency (time, cost, and quality) at the Yemeni oil and gas industry. The quantitative method was employed and online questionnaire was used as a primary source for collecting data. The sample size was 312, selected from three oil and gas companies; namely; Yemen Liquid Natural Gas Company, Safer Exploration and Production Oil Company and OMV Company. This study targeted managers and non-managers. The results show that stakeholders’ engagement has a significant relationship with the performance efficiency. In addition, stakeholders’ engagement has a significant impact on the performance efficiency. The results suggest the consideration of early stakeholders’ engagement in the planning, development, implementation, controlling and evaluation the performance. Managers should enhance every step regarding the participation of the stakeholders in the decision-making process. In addition, more effective practices will support achieving performance efficiency.

Mercury is a contaminant found in a variety of hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbon streams in the oil and gas industry. Quantification of mercury is an integral part to protect processing units especially those with aluminium components and to safeguard personnel from unwanted exposure to mercury. Although mercury is one of the many impurities in oil and gas, its impact is diverse, and this drives the need to adequately quantify the amount of mercury in the process stream as a first line of defence and to make informed decisions on mitigation. The various types of standard methods available for mercury analysis are listed and classified in this literature based on sample phase for hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon samples. Different types of mercury analysis such as total mercury, mercury grouping and mercury speciation are also briefly explored to determine which is best for intent of use. Measurement techniques involving different detectors and their respective detection limits are listed with specific attention provided to atomic absorption and atomic fluorescence. The diverse adoption of various mercury analysis across the hydrocarbon value chain will need to be fit for purpose and meet the analytical requirements of the test conducted.
