  • National Oil Companies: Business Models, Challenges, and Emerging Trends
    Corporate Ownership & Control / Volume 11, Issue 1, 2013, Continued - 8 NATIONAL OIL COMPANIES: BUSINESS MODELS, CHALLENGES, AND EMERGING TRENDS Saud M. Al-Fattah* Abstract This paper provides an assessment and a review of the national oil companies' (NOCs) business models, challenges and opportunities, their strategies and emerging trends. The role of the national oil company (NOC) continues to evolve as the global energy landscape changes to reflect variations in demand, discovery of new ultra-deep water oil deposits, and national and geopolitical developments. NOCs, traditionally viewed as the custodians of their country's natural resources, have generally owned and managed the complete national oil and gas supply chain from upstream to downstream activities. In recent years, NOCs have emerged not only as joint venture partners globally with the major oil companies, but increasingly as competitors to the International Oil Companies (IOCs). Many NOCs are now more active in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), thereby increasing the number of NOCs seeking international upstream and downstream acquisition and asset targets. Keywords: National Oil Companies, Petroleum, Business and Operating Models * Saudi Aramco, and King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) E-mail: [email protected] Introduction historically have mainly operated in their home countries, although the evolving trend is that they are National oil companies (NOCs) are defined as those going international. Examples of NOCs include Saudi oil companies that have significant shares owned by Aramco (the largest integrated oil and gas company in their parent government, and whose missions are to the world), Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), work toward the interest of their country.

  • Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands and British Columbia Shale Gas
    Canadian Energy Research Institute Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands and British Columbia Shale Gas Jon Rozhon March 2012 Relevant • Independent • Objective Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands and British Columbia Shale Gas 1 Foreign Investment in the Oil Sands There has been a steady flow of foreign investment into the oil sands industry over the past decade in terms of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. Out of a total CDN$61.5 billion in M&A’s, approximately half – or CDN$30.3 billion – involved foreign companies taking an ownership stake. These funds were invested in in situ projects, integrated projects, and land leases. As indicated in Figure 1, US and Chinese companies made the most concerted efforts to increase their profile in the oil sands, investing 2/3 of all foreign capital. The US and China both invested in a total of seven different projects. The French company, Total SA, has also spread its capital around several projects (four in total) while Royal Dutch Shell (UK), Statoil (Norway), and PTT (Thailand) each opted to take large positions in one project each.

For some this was simply a question of the most efficient means to acquire competitive gas supplies through existing infrastructure, while others built new regasification terminals for supply diversification and security. In 2019, European LNG imports increased by more than 40% compared with the previous year and the main question for exporters had changed from whether the EU would be willing and able to compete with (principally) Asian countries for global supply, to whether they would be able to find a home for their cargoes in an over-supplied market. As the EU is the only major gas market with third party access to LNG terminals, this means that exporters can always place a cargo for which no other market can be accessed unless the owner of the terminal or the buyer agrees.
