Oil And Gas Sector

The oil and gas sector of the economy in many states remains the main source of foreign exchange and tax revenues to the budget. Moreover, its share, for example, in Russia, accounts for about 12 % of all industrial production. However, this sector, as the practice of world oil prices shows, is experiencing not only a rise, but also a decline. Consequently, the problem of forming a balanced portfolio of oil and gas assets is an object of close attention on the part of national oil and gas companies. The issues of choosing the optimal combination of oil and gas assets in the portfolio are no less urgent, especially among the tasks that all oil and gas companies face, both in Russia and abroad. An investment portfolio or a portfolio of oil and gas assets, which includes new projects for the commissioning of fields, as well as measures to enhance oil recovery, and exploration are objects of real investment. The high volatility of the oil and gas industry is influenced by various factors, including: macroeconomic, innovation risks and a number of others. These circumstances stimulate the sector to increase the resilience of its project portfolios in order to respond flexibly to changes. In an increasingly challenging and uncertain environment, oil and gas companies around the world face constant pressures as difficult strategic decisions and building long-term plans lead to a sustainable portfolio. In order to achieve their goals and maximize profitability, companies should apply certain algorithms in their practice. The article substantiates the role and importance of project portfolio management in achieving the goals of the state and companies in the oil and gas sector. The main goal of the article is to build an algorithm that is aimed both at determining the stability of the portfolio and the ability to flexibly respond to changes in the environment. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the determination of an algorithm for assessing the sustainability of a portfolio of projects of oil and gas companies. Application of this algorithm will allow oil and gas companies to take into account the influence of external factors. The research methodology is based on such methods as analysis of internal regulations and reporting of companies for project portfolio management, risk analysis, project ranking; grouping and classification method.

Abstract Nigerian oil and gas industry have over the years witnessed incessant conflicts between the stakeholders, particularly the host communities in Niger Delta region and the oil and gas companies in partnership with the Federal Government. Conflict which is here defined as manifestation of disagreement between individual and groups arising from differing and mutually incompatible interests has both positive and negative effects depending on how it was managed. Managing conflicts is all about limiting the negative aspects. The study examined conflicts management in Nigeria oil and gas industry and how best the positive elements of conflicts can be maximally exploited for the mutual benefit of both oil and gas company and the host communities in Niger Delta. The study adopted the multidisciplinary approach, literature review, case study and relied on secondary sources using analytical method of data analysis. The study findings revealed that the major factors that precipitate conflicts between the oil and gas industry and host communities in Niger Delta include economic, social, political, and ecological factors. There are available strategies that can be used in conflict management. These include avoiding, accommodating, or smoothing, competing, or forcing, compromising, and collaborating. Any of these strategies can be used to manage conflict depending on the situation, the environment factor, and the nature of the conflict. The problem is that the oil and gas companies in partnership with the Nigerian government often adopted the wrong approach in dealing with the conflict with host communities, using avoiding or forcing strategies. The study recommends collaboration strategy which ensues long term-term solution to mutual benefits.

The past few years have seen a dramatic rise in shareholder activism in Europe and the US and it is a trend becoming more common in Australia. Companies operating in the oil and gas sector have been subject to particular attention and there are a growing number of examples of this in Australia. The targets of shareholder activism range in size and performance, but are often companies with perceived board weakness, those that are considered to adhere to outdated corporate governance, those whose strategic direction is in question or those that have an under-performing share price, though other factors can also be relevant. Using these issues or concerns as a pretext, activists are increasingly focused on using tactics that allow them to exert control or exercise influence to realise returns or agitate for change in companies that: have significant assets (such as oil and gas reserves) relative to their market value; have high costs, large capital expenditures and long revenue generation lead time (such as exploration projects); or, operate in low growth or fluctuating markets (such as with the price of oil and gas). Unsurprisingly, the oil and gas sector is being increasingly seen by certain funds and investors as fertile ground for shareholder activism. The Australian legal landscape also presents shareholders with a platform from which to exert influence. For instance: shareholders are able to requisition general meetings (and resolutions to be put to those meetings) if they hold sufficient shares and put the entire board up for re-election following the introduction of the two strikes rule; and, directors are required to adhere to statutory and common law duties in responding to shareholders. Shareholder activist campaigns are often played out in public and can be highly disruptive to companies’ operations. Accordingly, directors and senior management of oil and gas companies should be aware of shareholder activism in Australia and, in the broader interests of all shareholders and their company, consider how they should respond or be ready to respond. This may be done through various processes, including testing the company’s perceived weaknesses and addressing them and having a plan to address activism should it arise.

O Global Report Initiative (GRI) é uma organização internacional, sem fins lucrativos, que disponibiliza dados de emissões e diretrizes para elaboração de relatórios de impacto na sustentabilidade em diversos segmentos industriais, como o setor de óleo e de gás. Entretanto, limita-se à disponibilização dos dados, não procedendo outras análises, no sentido de produzir informações mais elaboradas, como por exemplo, o estabelecimento de benchmarks. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho propõe um framework, visando a organizar as informações na elaboração de rankings das companhias integradas de óleo e gás, verificando-se as relações existentes entre informações de produção e emissões de gases, utilizando uma correlação produto-momento. Como resultado específico, obtiveram-se rankings relativos à produção e indicadores de emissões das companhias integradas de óleo e gás. Infere-se do estudo que as empresas deste segmento energético mais produtivas também são as que mais provocam emissões, e também que, empresas de origem europeia apresentam tendência a produzirem menos emissões que empresas originárias de outras partes do mundo. Com a análise das informações decorrentes do ranking obtido da aplicação do framework proposto, há a possibilidade de as empresas integradas do segmento de óleo e gás planejarem de forma mais assertiva suas atividades, no que tange a um posicionamento sustentável por parte delas.Palavras-chave: Emissões gasosas; Companhias integradas de óleo e gás; Ranqueamento. Global Report Initiative.Framework development for ranking elaboration and analysis of integrated oil and gas companies sustainability reports with GRI approachAbstractThe Global Report Initiative (GRI) is an international organization, non-profitable, that provides emission data and elaboration guidelines of sustainability reports for various industrial segments, such as the oil and gas sector. However, its limited to data presentation without any further analyzes being carried out aiming the production of more elaborated information as benchmark establishment. Therefore, in the present work, a own framework was proposed to organize the information in the elaboration of rankings of the integrated companies of oil and gas, verifying the existing relations between the production information and emissions of gases using a product-moment correlation. As a result, production and emission indicator rankings of integrated oil and gas companies were obtained. It is inferred from the study that the most productive companies in this energy segment are also the ones that cause the most emissions, and that companies of European origin tend to produce less emissions than companies from other countries. With the information analysis derived from the ranking obtained from the application of the proposed framework, it is possible for integrated oil and gas companies to more assertively plan their activities, aiming at their sustainable positioning.Keywords: Gaseous emissions.

Subject. The article focuses on ratios of the market capitalization and corporate value to revenue of the twenty five leading public companies in the oil and gas sector within 2008 through 2018. Objectives. The study is to trace key trends in ratios of corporations in the oil and gas. I also determine what caused such a transformation for the analyzable period and whether the multipliers are applicable to appraise the corporate value in the oil and gas sector. Methods. The study is based on methods of comparative and financial-economic analysis, summarizing financial reporting data. Results. Revenue-based ratios are found to be applicable to appraise the value of oil and gas companies. Although having the similar composition of net revenue, companies with better profitability have higher multipliers. Integrated corporations were found to have lower multipliers than independent companies. The study shows that the import-based petrochemical production tends to have the lower value than that using domestic resources. The multiplier goes down if the company's revenue includes proceeds from the resale. As the debt burden grows, the multiplier decreases. Therefore, considering the significant difference in the debt burden, the multiplier should better include the corporate value instead of the market capitalization, since the corporate value comprises the net debt. I also discovered the country-related factor, which should be taken into consideration when using the multiplier. Conclusions and Relevance. The use of revenue-based multipliers requires the thorough analysis of the financial and business operations of companies. However, it is quite acceptable when the overall profitability decreases and the debt burden increases in the public segments of the global oil and gas industry. The findings can be used to appraise the value of oil and gas assets as part of the comparative approach and decide on actions for raising the market capitalization of public oil and gas corporations.

Today’s energy and resources companies must address many challenges to their traditional business models including the rapid emergence of available and economic renewable energy sources, ever tightening greenhouse gas emission policies and increased stakeholder expectations around transparency. While there is uncertainty regarding the impact of these developments, enormous opportunity exists for companies to forge pathways to a decarbonised future while at the same time creating new markets, products and services and increasing revenues. Several leading Australian resources companies have recently embarked on programs to transition to a lower carbon and more diversified energy portfolio. These initiatives focus on integrating alternative forms of energy across value chains, making energy consumers central to their business models and increasing energy security for their companies and the country. This paper discusses the drivers underlying these challenges, draws on case studies of how oil and gas companies are managing their journey, considers the impact such programs on the companies’ financial and operational performance and outline some implications and possible approaches.
