  • 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.

  • Cairn Energy Update
    Cairn Energy Update Producer, developer, explorer Oil & gas 24 July 2017 We refresh our view on Cairn Energy, focusing on key areas of interest for investors already familiar with the company. We examine a number of Price 174.7p valuation approaches for SNE in Senegal, the potential for reserve Market cap £1019m upgrades and exploration value. We believe SNE is an outsized asset and £0.8/US$ assume Cairn seeks to farm-down.

Through that we Indonesia and the mandatory disclosures laws of the EU found that at least seven of these companies operate in have led to more data on extractive activities in Indonesia Indonesia, i.e. Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum (BP), becoming available.
