  • To Read a PDF-Chapter About Robert and Ludvig
    172 robert & lu dvig obert’s intention in 1876 was to found his own firm, Robert Nobel & Co., and for that he needed Ludvig’s technical advice and continued financial support. In 1875 he travelled to St. Petersburg to discuss the further development of the businessR with his brother, to whom he had earlier sent detailed calculations of the costs of constructing oil reservoirs, water pipes and more besides for a total sum of 50,000 roubles. Robert was not counting on any profit for 1875 but already the following year the firm should be “a considerable business”, in the course of a few years becoming “one of the most splendid in the country.” It was the third time that Robert had travelled to the capital to brief Ludvig and to discuss the future with him. One reason why he decided to make the arduous journey was the slow postal service. During the summer half of the year it took two weeks for a letter to arrive, during the winter, six. As the letters moreover often crossed each other, exchange of views as well as decision-making was rendered more difficult. Since during the summer months “only 6 ideas can be exchanged and during the remaining 6 winter months only 3, making a total of 9 for the year” Robert was some- times forced to act without asking Ludvig for advice, which he regretted. Nine ideas a year was naturally starvation rations for individuals with the Nobel brothers’ propeller-driven intellect. That Robert, during this visit, finally succeeded in convincing Ludvig of the potential of his project emerges from a letter which Ludvig wrote to Alfred after Robert’s departure and in which he urged Alfred to join in the oil business: Robert has returned to Baku after his trip to the East coast and has found excellent naphtha at a depth of 10 fathoms on the island of Chelek.

  • The Emergence of the French Oil Industry Between the Two Wars
    The Emergence of the French Oil Industry between the Two Wars Mohamed Sassi The late emergence of a French oil industry, precisely between the two wars, at first appears to be an economic miracle. It was born from a determination to set up an independent energy policy. France is a country deprived of natural resources and, on the eve of the First World War, its vital need for energy pushed it to give more importance to oil, which explains private initiatives such as the case of Desmarais Frères. In 1914, the French supply of oil was totally dependant on the Majors, particularly on the American company Standard Oil. Although from 1917 Shell was privileged, the problem of the oil industry was not yet resolved. In 1919, the French objective was to recover a part of the interests of the Turkish Petroleum Company (T.P.C.) in the Near East. France recovered the share of the Deutsche Bank and thus created the Compagnie Française des Pétroles (C.F.P.). Born in 1924, the company was to be associated with any preexisting French oil company in order to assure an indisputable majority of national capital. The second important step was the setting-up of the law of 1928 that took care of special export authorizations of the crude and refined oils. The final step was the creation of the refining company (C.F.R.). The state supported the development of the C.F.P. by some institutional arrangements and succeeded in integrating it upstream, by adding the capital of the largest distribution companies and by encouraging the development of their distribution activity.

  • Slussac WP Garnet SOCAR
    The State as a (Oil) Company? The Political Economy of Azerbaijan∗ Samuel Lussac, Sciences Po Bordeaux GARNET Working Paper No. 74/10 February 2010 Abstract In 1993, Azerbaijan was a country at war, suffering heavy human and economic losses. It was then the very example of a failing country in the post-soviet in the aftermath of the collapse of the USSR. More than 15 years after, it is one of the main energy partners of the European Union and is a leading actor in the Eurasian oil sector. How did such a change happen? How can Azerbaijan have become so important in the South Caucasian region in such a short notice? This paper will focus on the Azerbaijani oil transportation network. It will investigate how the Azerbaijani oil company SOCAR and the Azerbaijani presidency are progressively taking over this network, perceived as the main tool of the foreign policy of Azerbaijan. Dealing with the inner dynamics of the network, this paper will highlight the role of clanic and crony capitalist structures in the makings of a foreign policy and in the diversification of an emerging oil company. Keywords: Azerbaijan, Network, Oil, South Caucasus, SOCAR.

  • Alfred Nobel and His Prizes: from Dynamite to DNA
    Open Access Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal NOBEL PRIZE RETROSPECTIVE AFTER 115 YEARS Alfred Nobel and His Prizes: From Dynamite to DNA Marshall A. Lichtman, M.D.* Department of Medicine and the James P. Wilmot Cancer Institute, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY, USA ABSTRACT Alfred Nobel was one of the most successful chemists, inventors, entrepreneurs, and businessmen of the late nineteenth century. In a decision later in life, he rewrote his will to leave virtually all his fortune to establish prizes for persons of any nationality who made the most compelling achievement for the benefit of mankind in the fields of chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace among nations. The prizes were first awarded in 1901, five years after his death. In considering his choice of prizes, it may be pertinent that he used the principles of chemistry and physics in his inventions and he had a lifelong devotion to science, he suffered and died from severe coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis, and he was a bibliophile, an author, and mingled with the literati of Paris. His interest in harmony among nations may have derived from the effects of the applications of his inventions in warfare (“merchant of death”) and his friendship with a leader in the movement to bring peace to nations of Europe. After some controversy, including Nobel’s citizenship, the mechanisms to choose the laureates and make four of the awards were developed by a foundation established in Stockholm; the choice of the laureate for promoting harmony among nations was assigned to the Norwegian Storting, another controversy.

  • Nobel Prize Roots in Russia
    Nobel Prize roots in Russia Tatiana Antipova [ 0000-0002- 0872-4965] Institute of Certified Specialists, Perm, Russia https://doi.org/10.33847/2712-8148.1.1_4 Abstract. The scientist who does not dream of receiving the Nobel Prize is unthinkable. The main reason for this research is that fact that just about 2,5% of Nobel Prize winners are Russians. This paper analyzed archive and literature documents about the activity of Alfred Nobel in Russia. In 1879 three Nobel Brothers (including Alfred) founded the "Nobel Brothers Association", abbreviated as Branobel, in Russia. Success touched Alfred Nobel’s fut in Russian business and part of his profit was secured in Russian Central Bank as we know from Alfred Nobel’s will. As a result of current research author tried to evaluate contribution of A. Nobel’s Russian business in Nobel Foundation and Russian life. Consequently, it was revealed that A. Nobel’s executor Sohlman R. stated that in the assets of the Nobel Prize the originally share of funds received from Branobel activities was about 12%. Keywords: Nobel Prize, Branobel, Petroleum Company, imperial Russia, oil production, oil storage, oil trade, Alfred Nobel, Nobel’s will. 1. Introduction Nobel Prize is the most prestigious prize among scientists worldwide. Between 1901 and 2019, the Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences were awarded 597 times to 950 people and organizations [1]. Thereof, twenty-four Russians won Nobel Prizes: two in Physiology or Medicine, twelve in Physics, one in Chemistry, two in Economic Sciences, five in Literature, and two Peace Prizes [2]. So just about 2,5% of Nobel Prize winners are Russians.
