Feature The oil and gas industry is seeing dynamic changes in its workforce, and in Ernst & Young's report on Strategic Business Risks for Oil and Gas in 2008, workforce issues were identified as the number one risk. Changes in the workforce include an aging global population with many experienced employees having recently retired or planning to in the near-term, a geographic shift in where employees are needed, and fewer new engineers seeking jobs in the industry.

HR Perspective - As the more skilled engineering and other professionals in the oil and gas industry approach retirement, the call is going out to develop strategies to keep them engaged in flexible work arrangements and to re-recruit individuals who left the industry in previous years. The plan is to invite them back as an expert resource to assist in the recruitment, training, and mentoring of young professionals, upon whose recruitment and retention the successful future of the industry depends.

MINDING THE GAPS—IDENTIFYING AND FILLING HOLES IN OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY PROTECTIVE SECURITY

Offshore Oil

The Federal Government, mindful of the pivotal importance of reliable supplies of oil and gas for the economic stability of the nation, has recently passed the Maritime Transport Security Amendment Act 2005. This introduces a security plan for Australia’s offshore oil and gas facilities aimed at combating the likelihood of physical attack by terrorists or other organisations.Here we discuss that security plan, and identify potential gaps of especial significance for the petroleum industry. Our focus is on the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities represented by presently available technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) plus commercial and allied-government satellites. In this discussion we dispel various myths (for example, the fiction of continuously-available real-time imagery).Next we consider the near-term future (next five-to-ten years) and analyse the improved ISR capabilities that will result from the burgeoning technologies being introduced during that period. These include the next generation of UAVs (including high-altitude long-endurance platforms) and also continuous (but limited resolution) imagery of the whole globe obtained from geostationary orbit. Again we identify potential security gaps that are pertinent from the perspective of the petroleum industry.On the basis of our capability gap identification we make recommendations with regard to evolving security concerns that the petroleum industry may wish to consider for submission to the Federal Government: given what ISR science, technology and engineering can deliver, what could be done on a whole-of-nation basis to optimise the defence of our offshore facilities?Finally, we outline the modelling and simulation capabilities that are available specifically to aid such organisations as the Department of Defence and Coastwatch in efforts to anticipate and thus efficiently and effectively ameliorate the potential for such attacks. These may well be of interest to the industry in that they underpin the analysis mentioned above, and inform what could and perhaps should be done to lessen the risk posed to the nation’s petroleum industry.

The Government

Federal tax revenues from the main sectors of the Russian economy after the 1998 crisis are examined in the article. Authors present the structure of revenues from these sectors by main taxes for 1999-2003 and prospects for 2004. Emphasis is given to an increasing dependence of budget on revenues from oil and gas industries. The share of proceeds from these sectors has reached 1/3 of total federal revenues. To explain this fact world oil prices dynamics and changes in tax legislation in Russia are considered. Empirical results show strong dependence of budget revenues on oil prices. The analysis of changes in tax legislation in oil and gas industry shows that the government has managed to redistribute resource rent in favor of the state.

Ruling Elites

The article deals with the issues of political and economic power as well as their constellation on the market. The theory of public choice and the theory of public contract are confronted with an approach centered on the power triad. If structured in the power triad, interactions among states representatives, businesses with structural advantages and businesses without structural advantages allow capturing administrative rents. The political power of the ruling elites coexists with economic power of certain members of the business community. The situation in the oil and gas industry, the retail trade and the road construction and operation industry in Russia illustrates key moments in the proposed analysis.

Geopolitical Risks

The article is devoted to the consideration of geopolitical challenges for the analysis of geoenvironmental risks (GERs) in the hydrocarbon development of the Arctic territory. Geopolitical risks (GPRs), like GERs, can be transformed into opposite external environment factors of oil and gas industry facilities in the form of additional opportunities or threats, which the authors identify in detail for each type of risk. This is necessary for further development of methodological base of expert methods for GER management in the context of the implementational proposed two-stage model of the GER analysis taking to account GPR for the improvement of effectiveness making decisions to ensure optimal operation of the facility oil and gas industry and minimize the impact on the environment in the geopolitical conditions of the Arctic.The authors declare no conflict of interest
