Strategic options for national oil and gas companies
17–20 June 2008
National oil and gas companies (NOCs) are playing an increasing role in global supply. However, they are confronted with evolving and more competitive oil, gas and product markets that are better connected by expanded and more diversified infrastructure. In order to compete effectively in modern energy markets many NOCs recognise the need to re-position themselves and re-focus their strategies.
There are several different generic types of NOC, which can be characterised in various ways, for example, the magnitude of their resource holdings; access to technology; experience as an operator in their home country; access to capital; level of upstream and downstream integration; experience as a participant in international ventures; risk profiles; geographic and geopolitical preferences, etc. Viable strategies vary depending on the type of NOC and constraints placed upon them by their host governments.
In order to optimise their performance NOCs need to constantly review, evaluate and benchmark performance of their prevailing strategies. This should be done in the context of their domestic and international asset portfolios over short, medium and long term planning horizons and relative to peer group NOCs. Significant changes in strategy often result in corporate upheavals and re-organisations that require clear vision, leadership and change management approaches to implement them successfully.
This course addresses NOC strategies from a range of perspectives and includes detailed case studies of specific organisations. Through a series of presentations, case studies and exercises delegates are provided with information with which to analyse, profile and evaluate the key issues, opportunities and threats now confronting NOCs. This information should help them to identify and select viable alternative strategies for re-positioning NOC strategies for future growth and success.
