Oil And Gas Company Analysis

[New cover update] As one of the most complex industries in the world, this book provides readers with an in-depth coverage of companies that operate in all sectors of the oil & gas industry, that is Upstream, Midstream and Downstream. This book sets out to evaluate companies through upstream, midstream and downstream financial and operational metrics (covered in the first 4 chapters of the book), and to provide an overview of more than 30 companies in different categories, such as National Oil Companies, International Oil Companies, Independent E&P and Pure Play Refining Companies. Key benefits from reading this book: - Understand the different sectors in the oil & gas industry, their business cycles, unique opportunities and challenges. - Understand how financial and operational metrics for companies inside and outside the oil & gas industry are calculated and understand their importance. - Get to know different oil & gas companies in the industry, from both an international and U.S. perspective. - Gain awareness of what different businesses oil & gas companies are involved in and where they operate. The book is organized into 10 chapters: - Chapter 1 provides an overview of oil & gas as commodities as well as the industry, current supply and demand of energy scenarios and provides a detailed explanation of several financial metrics. - Chapters 2, 3 & 4 introduce the Upstream, Midstream & Downstream sectors of the industry and explain relevant sector metrics. - Chapters 5 & 6 discuss 12 National Oil Companies or NOC's, their current operations and applicable metrics. - Chapter 7 reviews 4 integrated oil & gas companies, their areas of operations and provides an analysis of current financial and operating results using the metrics introduced in this book. - Chapter 8 reviews 6 independent exploration & production companies, their areas of operations and provides an analysis of current financial and operating results using the metrics introduced in this book. - Chapter 9 reviews 3 independent downstream companies, their areas of operations and provides an analysis of current financial and operating results using the metrics introduced in this book. - Chapter 10 reviews 4 midstream companies, their areas of operations and provides an analysis of current financial and operating results using the metrics introduced in this book.

Operating Expenses, Cash Flow, Finding and Development Costs, Return on Capital Employed are but a few of the hundreds of measurements and metrics used to analyze performance in the oil and gas industry. From individual wells to entire portfolios, performance analysis is used to make decisions throughout an organization. Unfortunately, performance analysis is generally conducted in the higher echelons of an oil and gas company, and thus its value in creating actionable information at the field level is generally lost. This book seeks to bridge this gap by introducing the basic concepts of oil and gas performance analysis. Features and Benefits A common sense methodology that will keep any performance analysis focused, on point and capable of providing useful and actionable information An introduction to the myriad of data sources used in performance analysis including lease operating statements (LOS reports), reserve reports and financial statements An introduction to the most relevant performance metrics used in oil and gas performance analysis including production and cost metrics, reserves, cash flow, and other financial metrics How to analyze, interpret, and evaluate the performance of individual fields, portfolios and overall company performance Audience Field level personnel Management Engineers Energy lending and finance professionals Anyone who seeks to understand how, or relies upon, performance analysis

"Understand the different businesses within the petroleum refining & marketing industry, their business cycles, unique opportunities and challenges. An easy-to-follow guide on how downstream oil & gas works"--Cover.

Offering a clear explanation of financial statements with a practical approach to the analysis of an oil company, this introduction contains tables, figures, and worksheets, and examples of analysis of virtually every aspect of an oil company are provided in detail. Financial quick-look techniques, rules of thumb, commentary, and a glossary are included.

Engineers seek solutions to problems, and the economic viability of each potential solution is normally considered along with the technical merits. This is typically true for the petroleum sector, which includes the global processes of exploration, production, refining, and transportation. Decisions on an investment in any oil or gas field development are made on the basis of its value, which is judged by a combination of a number of economic indicators. Economic Analysis of Oil and Gas Engineering Operations focuses on economic treatment of petroleum engineering operations and serves as a helpful resource for making practical and profitable decisions in oil and gas field development. Reflects major changes over the past decade or so in the oil and gas industry Provides thorough coverage of the use of economic analysis techniques in decision-making in petroleum-related projects Features real-world cases and applications of economic analysis of various engineering problems encountered in petroleum operations Includes principles applicable to other engineering disciplines This work will be of value to practicing engineers and industry professionals, managers, and executives working in the petroleum industry who have the responsibility of planning and decision-making, as well as advanced students in petroleum and chemical engineering studying engineering economics, petroleum economics and policy, project evaluation, and plant design.

Gas and Oil Reliability Engineering: Modeling and Analysis, Second Edition, provides the latest tactics and processes that can be used in oil and gas markets to improve reliability knowledge and reduce costs to stay competitive, especially while oil prices are low. Updated with relevant analysis and case studies covering equipment for both onshore and offshore operations, this reference provides the engineer and manager with more information on lifetime data analysis (LDA), safety integrity levels (SILs), and asset management. New chapters on safety, more coverage on the latest software, and techniques such as ReBi (Reliability-Based Inspection), ReGBI (Reliability Growth-Based Inspection), RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance), and LDA (Lifetime Data Analysis), and asset integrity management, make the book a critical resource that will arm engineers and managers with the basic reliability principles and standard concepts that are necessary to explain their use for reliability assurance for the oil and gas industry. Provides the latest tactics and processes that can be used in oil and gas markets to improve reliability knowledge and reduce costs Presents practical knowledge with over 20 new internationally-based case studies covering BOPs, offshore platforms, pipelines, valves, and subsea equipment from various locations, such as Australia, the Middle East, and Asia Contains expanded explanations of reliability skills with a new chapter on asset integrity management, relevant software, and techniques training, such as THERP, ASEP, RBI, FMEA, and RAMS

A prominent linchpin in world politics and in security policies world over, oil and gas have tremendous value in both, the political and economical sectors of global relations, business establishments and policy. Regardless of whether one is a novice to a given field, or a well accomplished veteran in the field, there is a need for the continued engagement with the basics that underlie the core subjects. With that in mind, the Fundamentals of Oil and Gas is a perfect primer for the first-timer in the field, while also a copious text to help a seasoned veteran stay abreast with the nuances of the world of Oil and Gas.
