7. Heightened oversight of oil and gas industry
► Greater compliance and regulatory burden
► Cross border complexity in operations
► Varying reserves/financial reporting standards
► Corporate governance structure
► The expectations of minority shareholders
► Need for greater transparency (especially if capital
raising)
► Opposition from special interest groups

9. A changing industry
For decades the leading industry players have focused on
► Global market coverage
► Vertical integration
► Economies of scale
► Operational supply chain efficiency
This model is currently undergoing change and an alternative model based upon
the following themes is emerging:
► Focus on core markets
► Divesting of ‘non core’ assets and businesses
► Relationship and contractor management
► Capital efficiency
The changing of this model presents opportunities/risks for NOCs as they
consider whether to enter new markets and new businesses

10. There are both opportunities and risks
Key opportunities
► Access to new markets and
resources
► Acquisition of skills/technology
► Strengthening and internationalising
of the brand and organisation
► Synergies with existing businesses
► cost and efficiency savings
► supply chain benefits
► Buying at the right time in the
economic cycle

Key risks
► Management skills
► Does current management have the skills
to manage the acquired asset(s)
effectively?
► Current liabilities and potential
future liabilities
► Are these fully understood and factored
into the purchase agreement and ongoing
business plan
► Political risks and reputational risks
► Moving into overseas markets has a
different risk profile. Is this risk profile
fully understood and can it be managed
effectively?
► Buying at the wrong time in the
economic cycle

JVs help to spread the risk
Source: IHS Herold
13. Future projects may look different
► Increased use of JVs to pool capital and mitigate risks in large
projects
► Governments are becoming increasingly active in encouraging and
brokering alliances in the oil & gas sector
► New partnerships emerging between reserves-rich NOCs and those
of import-dependent nations
► NOCs buying into existing joint ventures to gain access to
markets/generate new revenue streams
► Increased number of JV partners in individual projects due to their
cost and complexity
► There will be fewer listed upstream and oilfield services companies at
the end of the year than the start of the year
