Oil and Gas Management

Post has two assignments

1:Oil and Gas Management

Order Description

Background:

“Big Oil” – the major international and national oil companies – is facing possibly its biggest challenge and threat to its survival yet. Demand has slowed due to global economic stagnation. The explosion of shale oil and gas production in the USA led to an unprecedented decision by OPEC in November 2014 to maintain production levels to regain lost market share. In turn that has led to crude prices falling by over 50% to trade in the low $40 per barrel range in December 2015. In its December 2015 meeting, OPEC maintained current production levels, which will result in a predicted 700,000 bpd oversupply for 2016; higher crude prices are not just round the corner. If all that was not enough, the UN Convention on Climate Change in Paris appears to be brokering some serious global commitment and resolve by most governments to limit global warming and climate change by transition to low-carbon economies and sound the death-knell for fossil fuel use, and thus fossil fuel companies.

Assignment Task:

Research how “Big Oil” is facing up to these challenges, and whether any strategic thinking and change is demonstrated in their public pronouncements and forward-thinking.

Outline the views of the industry, and not just concentrate on one particular oil company. Discuss 3 main areas that are becoming increasingly challenging for oil companies:

1) The cash crunch of sub-$50/bbl oil on projects and dividends.
2) Whether to abandon production-maximizing policies.
3) Planning by oil companies to plan for a low-carbon global world.
