No year in recent history has held greater expectations than 2021. We all hope to put the pandemic behind us and get back to normal. The year began with a new President in the White House and multiple vaccines already starting to be distributed. As the quarter progressed, we made significant strides towards vaccinating the most vulnerable. While we are moving closer to a return to normalcy as the availability of vaccines continues to grow, new COVID-19 variants threaten to slow progress. The economy continued to show signs of recovering as employers added more jobs in the first quarter and the unemployment rate declined to 6.0%. In February, consumer sentiment rose to its highest level since March 2020, when the COVID-19 shutdowns were just beginning. Over the past year, household savings have grown significantly and should begin to flow through the Energy was the best economy as it reopens. performing sector in the S&P 500 as oil prices The passage of a $1.9 trillion stimulus package and a rebounded. commitment of continued support from the Federal Reserve helped drive the stock market higher in the first quarter.

  • Enterprise Risk Management in the Oil and Gas Industry: an Analysis of Selected Fortune 500 Oil and Gas Companies’ Reaction in 2009 and 2010 Violet C
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Clute Institute: Journals American Journal of Business Education – First Quarter 2016 Volume 9, Number 1 Enterprise Risk Management In The Oil And Gas Industry: An Analysis Of Selected Fortune 500 Oil And Gas Companies’ Reaction In 2009 And 2010 Violet C. Rogers, Stephen F. Austin State University, USA Jack R. Ethridge, Stephen F. Austin State University, USA ABSTRACT1 In 2009, four of the top ten Fortune 500 companies were classified within the oil and gas industry. Organizations of this size typically have an advanced Enterprise Risk Management system in place to mitigate risk and to achieve their corporations’ objectives. The companies and the article utilize the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) as a guide to organize their risk management and reporting. The authors used the framework to analyze reporting years 2009 and 2010 for Fortune 500 oil and gas companies. After gathering and examining information from 2009 and 2010 annual reports, 10-K filings, and proxy statements, the article examines how the selected companies are implementing requirements identified in the previously mentioned publications. Each section examines the companies’ Enterprise Risk Management system, risk appetite, and any other notable information regarding risk management. One observation was the existence or non-existence of a Chief Risk Officer or other Senior Level Manager in charge of risk management. Other observations included identified risks, such as changes in economic, regulatory, and political environments in the different countries where the corporations do business.

  • GE's $7.4 Billion Loss, Write-Off on Baker Hughes: Another Bad Bet On
    Kathy Hipple, Financial Analyst 1 Tom Sanzillo, Director of Finance Tim Buckley, Director of Energy Finance Studies, Australasia October 2019 GE’s $7.4 Billion Loss, Write-off on Baker Hughes: Another Bad Bet on Fossil Fuels Q3 Loss, Write-Off Likely to Be $9+ Billion; More Red Ink to Flow, as O&G Has $25 Billion of Goodwill on Balance Sheet Executive Summary General Electric, once a blue-chip stalwart in global markets, now struggles with declining revenues and earnings. One important thread that runs through the tattered cloth of GE’s decline is its misreading of changing dynamics in the energy sector. Throughout the ongoing energy transition, as GE has continued to bet heavily on fossil fuels, many of those bets have turned sour for the company and its shareholders. GE’s Oil & Gas (O&G) division’s 2017 merger with oil services company Baker Hughes was a particularly costly bet, one that epitomizes how GE has been blind-sided by the rapidly evolving energy transition. Over the past year, GE has formally announced it has taken, or will take, losses or write-offs of approximately $9.6 billion (bn)1 in connection with two partial sales of its stake in one of the world’s largest oil services companies, Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE). These losses include the company’s $2.2 bn Q4 2018 pre-tax loss on the first sale of BHGE shares in November 2018, and an estimated pre-tax loss 1 All figures are US$ unless noted.

Methane emissions have 80 times the climate-change effect of The irony is that methane has value.

The oil and gas sector is coal – or used in chemicals manufacture. By some estimates, this responsible for a quarter of this output and is under increasing could recoup as much as $30bn for the industry, but the oil and gas pressure from shareholders, consumers and regulators to improve sector points out that the upgrades required to capture and take environmental practices. In addition to that, costs of oil and gas financial advantage of methane that would otherwise be released processing are increasing, in the form of regulatory penalties, would often cost more than the value of the gas collected. emissions taxes, and so on, while the industry must also cope with the ‘easy reserves’ having been reached already.

  • World's 10 Largest Oilfield Services Companies
    12/14/2016 World's 10 largest oilfield services companies World's 10 largest oilfield services companies Arabian Oil & Gas Staff , June 22nd, 2009 Other stories: Oil industry giants: ADNOC | Oil industry giants: Saudi Aramco | Top 10 MENA Region mega projects | Top 10 billion dollar oil deals of the summer | 2009's winners and losers in the oil industry | 10 events in oil's history that shook the world | Top 10 Gulf mega projects | Top 10 largest publicly traded oil companies | Top 10 National Oil Companies by production | World's 10 largest oilfield services companies | World's 10 largest oil and gas contractors It could be argued that the most difficult job in the oil and gas industry is oilfield services. Most oilfields tend to be located in geographically remote areas, and that's before you even start drilling. The logistics required to extract, process and transfer crude oil or gas would make most companies think twice about even entering the business in the first place. So it was with this in mind that we at ArabianOilandGas.com decided to pay our respects and give you our list of the top 10 world's largest oilfield services companies. The criteria we have used has been based solely on a company's revenues for 2008. However, there are a couple of anomalies that we should point out. First of all we decided that we would exclude all NOCs and IOCs. Second you will notice Fluor finished sixth on the list, but boasts higher revenues than any other company aside from Schlumberger.
