By the Article 91A it is provided than an ex officio director shall have the right to negative any resolution which may be proposed at a board or committee meeting, but that the other directors, or a majority of them, shall have the right to appeal there from to His Majesty's Government, which, for the purpose of the Article, is defined as meaning the Treasury and Admiralty. His Majesty's Government, which, for the purpose of the Article, is defined as meaning the Treasury and the Admiralty. His Majesty's Government are of opinion that it would not be prudent, or, indeed, practicable, to qualify the generality of the right of veto. On the other hand, it is felt that the ordinary directors (meaning by that expression the directors other than the ex officio directors), and incidentally the members of the company, should have some safeguard in the matter. It is thought that the right which is to be given by the new Article to the ordinary directors of appealing to the two Departments will afford the requisite safeguard. The ordinary directors will, by appealing to the Departments, be in a position to ensure in regard to any particular question that the right of veto is not exercised until the question has been considered and adjudicated upon by the Departments. I am to add that His Majesty's Government do not propose to make use of the right of veto except in regard to matters of general policy, such as- (1) The supervision of the activities of the company as they may affect questions of foreign, naval or military policy; (2) Any proposed sale of the company's undertaking or proposed change of the company's status; (3) The control of the new exploitation, sites of wells, etc.; (4) Sales of crude or fuel oil to foreigners, or such exceptional sales to other persons on long contracts as might endanger the due fulfilment of current Admiralty contracts; 194 Appendix II 195 and that their interference (if any) in the ordinary administration of the company as a commercial concern will be strictly limited to the minimum necessary to secure these objects. Further, in the case of any such interference, due regard will be paid to the financial interest of the company in which, under the proposed arrangements the Government have themselves so large a stake. While His Majesty's Government are not prepared to enter into any binding agree­ ment in regard to the exercise of the veto, you are at liberty to treat the above as an assurance as to the general lines upon which they will act in the matter, not only in regard to the Anglo-Persian Company, Limited, but also in regard to the subsidiary companies. 2. By the word added to Article 96 it is provided that the ex officio directors shall be members of every committee of the board. His Majesty's Government do not, however, contemplate that both the ex officio directors should always be present at committee meetings. Occasions may arise when it may be desirable that both the ex officio directors should be present, but as a general rule the presence of only one of them would be necessary. Indeed, at some meetings it may not be necessary that either of them should be present. 3. You are at liberty to make such use of this letter as you may think fit at the pro­ posed meetings of the shareholders. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, (signed) John Bradbury Messrs. The Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Limited Winchester House, Old Broad Street, London E.C. (As reprinted in Hansard, House of Commons 1928-29,26 March 1929, Vol. 226, col. 2263-4.) THE BRIDGES LETTER 12 April 1951 Gentlemen, I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of H.M. Treasury's concern to recent developments on Persia and their possible effect on the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. H.M. Government have in mind not only their own large financial inter­ est in the Company, but the vast importance of the Company's operations to the economy of the United Kingdom, and indeed to the Sterling area as a whole. 196 Appendix II The relationship between H.M. Government and the Company forms the subject of the letter sent by Sir John Bradbury to the Company on the 20th May, 1914, following the signature of the Financial Agreement between H.M. Government and the Company of the same date. H.M. Government do not feel that it is neces­ sary to amend the terms of Sir John Bradbury's letter. While recognizing the close co-operation that has existed between H.M. Government and the Company, they feel sure that the Company will appreciate that it is more than ever necessary, par­ ticularly in the present critical circumstances, for H.M. Government to be kept in close touch with the development of the Company's general policy and above all that there should be mutual consultation in good time, and at the appropriate levels, about any developments likely to affect substantially the Company's posi­ tion in Persia or in other territories where it has a concessionary interest. I am, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, (signed) Edward Bridges (As reprinted in Hansard, House of Commons, 16 February 1977, Vol.

  • Russian Oil and Gas Challenges
    Order Code RL33212 Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Updated June 20, 2007 Robert Pirog Specialist in Energy Economics and Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Russian Oil and Gas Challenges Summary Russia is a major player in world energy markets. It has more proven natural gas reserves than any other country, is among the top ten in proven oil reserves, is the largest exporter of natural gas, the second largest oil exporter, and the third largest energy consumer. Energy exports have been a major driver of Russia’s economic growth over the last five years, as Russian oil production has risen strongly and world oil prices have been very high. This type of growth has made the Russian economy dependent on oil and natural gas exports and vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices. The Russian government has moved to take control of the country’s energy supplies. It broke up the previously large energy company Yukos and acquired its main oil production subsidiary. The Duma voted to give Gazprom, the state- controlled natural gas monopoly the exclusive right to export natural gas; Russia moved to limit participation by foreign companies in oil and gas production and Gazprom gained majority control of the Sakhalin energy projects. Russia has agreed with Germany to supply Germany and, eventually, the UK by building a natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine and Poland. In late 2006 and early 2007, Russia cut off and/or threatened to cut off gas or oil supplies going to and/or through Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Belarus in the context of price and/or transit negotiations — actions that damaged its reputation as a reliable energy supplier.

  • Offshore Wind Operations & Maintenance a £9 Billion Per
    OFFSHORE WIND OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE A £9 BILLION PER YEAR OPPORTUNITY BY 2O3O FOR THE UK TO SEIZE OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE SUMMARY New data compiled by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult reveals the UK offshore wind operations & maintenance (O&M) market will grow faster in relative terms than any other offshore wind sub sector market over the next decade. By 2O3O, it will be the UK’s second largest sub sector market after turbine supply: a projected £1.3 billion per year opportunity. The Rest of the World (excluding UK) offshore wind O&M market opportunity is even greater. We project it will be valued at £7.6 billion per year by 2030. To discuss commercial dynamics in offshore wind O&M, we conducted an interview with energy industry leader Sir Ian Wood, which is summarised below. His comments highlight that offshore wind O&M is an area that plays to the UK’s existing strengths in offshore oil and gas services and associated technologies. O&M already has the highest level of UK content of any part of the offshore wind supply chain. In short, there is a sizable opportunity for the UK to create internationally significant service businesses in offshore wind O&M, learning from experience from the North Sea oil and gas industry. We already have the vital elements to capture this opportunity but investment in infrastructure to create the environment for collaborative development and demonstration of the enabling technologies and services is required. DEFINING OFFSHORE WIND O&M A clear definition of offshore wind O&M comes from a report published by GL Garrad Hassan: Offshore wind O&M is the activity that follows commissioning to ensure the safe and economic running of the project.

  • Prospective Decommissioning Activity and Infrastructure Availability in the UKCS
    NORTH SEA STUDY OCCASIONAL PAPER No. 122 Prospective Decommissioning Activity and Infrastructure Availability in the UKCS Professor Alexander G. Kemp and Linda Stephen October, 2011 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS ISSN 0143-022X NORTH SEA ECONOMICS Research in North Sea Economics has been conducted in the Economics Department since 1973. The present and likely future effects of oil and gas developments on the Scottish economy formed the subject of a long term study undertaken for the Scottish Office. The final report of this study, The Economic Impact of North Sea Oil on Scotland, was published by HMSO in 1978. In more recent years further work has been done on the impact of oil on local economies and on the barriers to entry and characteristics of the supply companies in the offshore oil industry. The second and longer lasting theme of research has been an analysis of licensing and fiscal regimes applied to petroleum exploitation. Work in this field was initially financed by a major firm of accountants, by British Petroleum, and subsequently by the Shell Grants Committee. Much of this work has involved analysis of fiscal systems in other oil producing countries including Australia, Canada, the United States, Indonesia, Egypt, Nigeria and Malaysia. Because of the continuing interest in the UK fiscal system many papers have been produced on the effects of this regime. From 1985 to 1987 the Economic and Social Science Research Council financed research on the relationship between oil companies and Governments in the UK, Norway, Denmark and The Netherlands. A main part of this work involved the construction of Monte Carlo simulation models which have been employed to measure the extents to which fiscal systems share in exploration and development risks.

  • The Politics of Oil, Gas Contract Negotiations in Sub-Saharan Africa
    The politics of oil, gas contract negotiations in Sub-Saharan Africa This article is part of DIIS Report 2014:25 “Policies and finance for economic development and trade” Read more at www.diis.dk THE POLITICS OF OIL, GAS CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA By: Rasmus Hundsbæk Pedersen, DIIS, 2014 SUMMARY Much attention has been paid to the management of revenues from petroleum resources in Sub-Saharan Africa. An entire body of literature on the resource curse has developed which points to corruption during the negotiation of contracts, as well as the mismanagement of revenues on the continent. The analyses provide the basis for policy advice for countries as well as donors; transparency and anti- corruption initiatives aimed at lifting the curse flourish. Though this paper is sympathetic to these initiatives, it argues that the analysis may underestimate the inherently political nature of the negotiation of contracts. Based on a review of the existing literature on contract negotiations in Africa, combined with a case study of Tanzania, the paper argues that the resource curse need not hit all countries on the African continent. By focusing on changes in the relative bargaining strength of actors involved in negotiating processes, it points to the choices and trade-offs that invariably affect the terms and conditions of exploration and production activities. Whereas international oil companies are often depicted as being in the driving seat, the last decade’s high oil prices may have shifted power in governments’ favor. Though their influence has declined, donors may still want to influence oil and gas politics under these circumstances.
