Algeria Upstream OG Report.Pub
ALGERIA UPSTREAM OIL & GAS REPORT Completed by: M. Smith, Sr. Commercial Officer, K. Achab, Sr. Commercial Specialist, and B. Olinger, Research Assistant Introduction Regulatory Environment Current Market Trends Technical Barriers to Trade and More Competitive Landscape Upcoming Events Best Prospects for U.S. Exporters Industry Resources Introduction Oil and gas have long been the backbone of the Algerian economy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, favorable geology, and new opportunities for both conventional and unconventional discovery/production. Unfortunately, the collapse in oil prices beginning in 2014 and the transition to spot market pricing for natural gas over the last three years revealed the weaknesses of this economic model. Because Algeria has not meaningfully diversified its economy since 2014, oil and gas production is even more essential than ever before to the government’s revenue base and political stability. Today’s conjoined global health and economic crises, coupled with persistent declining production levels, have therefore placed Algeria’s oil and gas industry, and the country, at a critical juncture where it requires ample foreign investment and effective technology transfer. One path to the future includes undertaking new oil and gas projects in partnership with international companies (large and small) to revitalize production. The other path, marked by inertia and institutional resistance to change, leads to oil and gas production levels in ten years that will be half of today's production levels. After two decades of autocracy, Algeria’s recent passage of a New Hydrocarbons Law seems to indicate that the country may choose the path of partnership by profoundly changing its tax and investment laws in the hydrocarbons sector to re-attract international oil companies. -

The Politics of Oil Nationalizations
University of California Los Angeles The Politics of Oil Nationalizations A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Paasha Mahdavi 2015 c Copyright by Paasha Mahdavi 2015 Abstract of the Dissertation The Politics of Oil Nationalizations by Paasha Mahdavi Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Michael L. Ross, Chair This dissertation is about the institutional choices governments make to man- age their petroleum wealth. It is about the determinants of these choices, but more importantly, their consequences for effective governance and how they ex- plain variations in political outcomes in oil-producing countries. I begin by de- scribing several different institutional pathways { involving national oil companies (NOCs) and their varying characteristics { that governments can take in extract- ing petroleum and regulating its production. My goal, then, is to show how these seemingly technical institutional choices can have profound impacts on gover- nance, ranging from effects on state revenue collection to incentives for corruption to ultimately the survival of the regime itself. To this aim, I collected original longitudinal data on the formation of NOCs in 62 countries since 1900; data from U.S. Department of Justice transcripts on the prosecution of corrupt practices in the energy sectors of 80 countries in the 2006-12 period; and existing cross-national data on government revenue capture from the sale of oil and natural resources. I analyze the determinants of NOC formation in the first empirical chapter, where I use Bayesian analysis informed with interview-based data from oil consultants to test and confirm leading theories of state revenue-maximization as the primary determinant of expropriation. -

The European Healthcare Startup Accelerator Launches in Paris
Press release « Future4care », the European healthcare startup accelerator launches in Paris Paris (France), June 10th, 2021 – Sanofi, Capgemini, Generali and Orange today announced the creation of a joint venture to launch “Future4care”, Europe’s only health-focused startup accelerator program. The objective is to stimulate the development of e-health solutions and their go-to-market, for the benefit of both patients and health professionals. Healthcare providers together with researchers and academics, who drive the success of digital health projects, will be fully integrated into this initiative including hospitals, healthcare institutions, higher education institutions, universities, and patient associations. The startup selection process is based on two routes: either applications in response to a specific call for projects or a spontaneous application. The first call for projects will be launched in September 2021 around two themes: virtual care using digital tools and personalised care (from diagnosis to treatment). Future4care is a unique open-innovation ecosystem in Europe. It is both a startup accelerator and an Institute providing content on digital health and delivering reference certifications. The Institute is a genuine knowledge centre offering conference programs, conducting constant monitoring of new technologies and their use and connecting members of its community with external experts. Moreover, from December 2021, Future4care's startups and partners will have access to a space of nearly 6,400 square metre space, located in the heart of Paris. This highly attractive building, which combines work, meeting, reception and networking areas, will bring together a global industry open to national and international partnerships. By housing each startup’s employees, the Future4care BioPark aims to become the European hub that encapsulates progress in digital health.
