1.0 INTRODUCTION The extensive roles of energy in economic growth are well known. Kaiser, Mark .J (2007) posits that there is a solid relationship between national economy and energy development, as energy supply, demand and pricing have enormous influence on economic growth. With the fast pace of economic development over the past decades, many developing nations experienced a sharp annual growth in petroleum demand. However, those with large or potentially large petroleum deposits, very sufficient and financial resources for supply investments, especially for the development of oil and gas production and exploration.
Gas and oil development plans are branded by huge capital investments. Exploration and production operations incorporate numerous activities, reaching from undertaking geological surveys, finding hydrocarbon resources, and commercially exploiting them. Projects in this area are of a high risk nature in physical trading, and political sense as it is hard to know in advance the presence, degree and value of hydrocarbon resources, as well as production costs and the price oil of oil in the global world market Kaiser, Mark .J (2007)
Due to complications in gaining access to risk capital and lack of expertise wanted for resource exploration and production, most developing nations with oil and gas reserves grant development right to foreign companies, which have adequate expertise, technology and capital to fund the project including the capabilities to manage
Evidently, the connection between fuel and the world has resulted in an intimate relationship between global economy and the prices of oil. In this regard, the world is increasingly growing dependent on petroleum and, as such, it follows that matters concerning fuel prices are bound to affect the global economy. Be it a slump or a rise, oil prices factor significantly in every country regardless of if the given country is an importer or an exporter; however, the impacts are different in magnitude for each nation. In fact, the behaviour of fuel prices at any given moment world widely is crucial in determining the performance of the global economy with both low and high prices affecting the economy exclusively.
A rise in oil prices impacts Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) negatively. Not all countries in the world are as developed as the United States, Britain, and Japan. Many countries only recently have begun modernizing. A huge factor in the rate of modernization is the price

Global economy is driven by energy markets. Energy does not only play a significant role in consumer products but also an important input in nearly all the industries. (Efimova O. and
This chapter focuses on what other scholars have written about risks associated with oil and gas exploration, drilling and extraction in various parts of the World. The chapter is structured in accordance with the objectives of the study, that is, to assess the
This paper explorers a few of the possibilities of the reasons behind the increase and/or decrease in the price of oil, and the effects these prices have on the economy. It introduces some key players in the oil business itself and helps to break down the logic of how oil is the singular contributor of revenue to many economies worldwide. This research examines, through many resources, the different roles that the U.S. and foreign governments play in determining the price of oil, whether from an import or export standpoint. Also, many articles show how the stock market
This sharp increase in the world oil prices and the volatile exchange rates are generally regarded as the factors of discouraging economic growth. Particularly, the very recent highs, recorded in the world oil market bring apprehension about possible slump in the economic growth in both developed and developing countries.
Oil is one of the many natural resources on high demand. To safeguard the oil, countries’ producing it has to take caution in the exploration and the sale of their oil. This explains why some oil producing countries in such as Nigeria has found themselves in the scramble with big states like the U.S and the China, which are competing to get a share of the oil. The rush for the oil has attracted new political and economic forces, giving the petroleum industry a stiff-neck competition. Every state is interested in this rare and natural resource. The oil producing countries also is highly dependent on the oil and cannot, therefore, gamble with the idea of putting their economy booster at risk. Oil-producing countries like Nigeria are left with no option but to take great caution when dealing with new scramble for Africa. Nigeria produces large amounts of oil, enabling it to export 10-12 per cent of the oil to the U.S. Without proper evaluation and calculation of their dealings, they stand to lose miserably on their main source of income. The Middle East has over the past 15 years experienced a crisis as a result of interests in their oil by the U.S.
The natural gas and oil industry is driven by the competitive, cost, and government drivers. The gas and oil industry can only prosper when there are enough resources (both natural and man-made) to match the demand. There must also be infrastructures in place that can transport and store the natural gas. This is the role that CB&I will play in the venture into Mozambique. The cost of gas and oil largely reflects availability. Measuring sourcing efficiencies entails the potential percentage
In the late 1970s (during the energy crisis) and early 1980s, the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth was in focus. Studies on oil prices have identified two main categories: those on developed oil importing countries, which comprise most of the literature, and developing oil exporting countries, which are scarce due to a lack of data in these countries. More specifically, I have categorized the literature into three categories: First, I analyse studies on developed countries, which are oil importers. Second, I explore the research on developing countries, which are oil exporters. In oil exporting countries, oil revenue is the key funding source of government expenditures, and therefore fiscal and monetary policies depend on oil prices (Rosser & Sheehan, 1995). And third, I analyse the research on Iran as one of the largest oil exporting countries and also one of the biggest oil reserve holders.
The exploration and production arrangement for hydrocarbons is a foundation of our vitality security, since India has a substantial and developing interest for vitality and significant hydrocarbon holds that stay to be explored, appraised and developed. Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) went into between the state and oil and gas organizations with the end goal of exploration and production of hydrocarbons constitute the important method for attaining to our general strategy target of more prominent independence in this part. The paper has aimed at arriving at a mechanism that would lead to greater synergy between the Government and oil companies, thereby enhancing domestic production, simplifying monitoring procedures, and incentivizing investments in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, including from the private sector.
Another factor is the current infrastructure, and the cost of extending such infrastructure to the field. Upstream oil, especially in Nigeria, generally deals with large acreages leased by the multinationals for a considerable period of time. Associated infrastructure, like pipelines and terminals, are designed to make total production cost effective for the whole acreage. Some fields may be excluded if the cost of extending infrastructure is unrecoverable. Other potential factors are the viscosity of the crude, the current market conditions and the current fiscal regime, among others.
Hamilton (1983) stated that the correlation between oil price evolution and economic output was not of a historical coincidence for the 1948-72 period. An increasing oil price was followed 3-4 quarters later by slower output growth with a recovery beginning after 6-7 quarters. These results also apply to the period 1973-1980. The negative effect is more distinct in inflationary times. It wouldn’t have been possible to anticipate these reductions in real GNP growth on the basis of the previous situation of output, prices, or money supply. In general, Hamilton’s results have been confirmed by several subsequent studies. In 1986, Gisser and Goodwin indicated for the analyzed period from 1961 to 1982 that the oil price hadn’t lost its potential to predict GNP growth.
In spite of the significant capital investments in the industry, meeting the increasing global demand requires implementation of the emerging technologies in the oil and gas industry. In other words, efficiency of the exploration and development of new resources needs to be dramatically improved in the next two decades [4]. High risks associated with adoption of innovative technologies has slowed down the rate of research and development in oil industry [5]. A review of the role of research and development in various sectors of technology reveals that upstream oil industry needs a higher
The focus of any business is to provide needs of customer by providing military and supplies, and in this procedure generate value for customers and solve their trouble. Production and operations management talks about applying big business association and management concepts in formation of supplies and military (1).
