Good book for oil and gas industry

CR lessons for oil and gas companies

Oil and gas executives are hard-nosed folks.

They have to be, given the industry they work in. It's a tough business.

So hearing how they can learn from failure in the industry when it comes to corporate responsibility ought to be something they can handle.

A new book offers some lessons. It's called "Beyond Corporate Social Responsibility: oil multinationals and social challenges".

There's a review of it, here.

Here's an extract from that review:

"Three town halls built in a village to placate three rival local chiefs; donated mosquito nets immediately sold for export; Asian-made condoms too small for the African men to whom they are distributed; a road built by an oil company that runs parallel to another built by a development agency. Everyone who works in corporate responsibility will know of plenty of examples of this kind of failure."

The book is expensive. But oil and gas firms can likely afford it. Some good lessons here.

(By the way, I'm not saying above that there have not been some successes for oil and gas firms relating to corporate responsibility. There have been many. It's just that you learn more from failure than success, usually, that's why I mention the book here)

Oil and gas from Brunei ( Rich Country )

BRUNEI Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd celebrated the 80th anniversary of its establishment with a momentous working visit yesterday morning from the benevolent ruler.

Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Dewa Dato Seri Setia Lim Jock Seng Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade II as Chairman of BSP/BLNG/BST/BSM in his welcoming remarks said BSP, from its humble beginnings in 1929, has become one of Asia’s biggest energy companies with production of more than 370,000 barrels of oil and gas equivalent every single day.

The minister also highlighted new production that has also come on-stream from the Mampak field in May and Bugan soon and with BSP just starting activities in deep water, the exploration work will continue to extend the oil and gas reserves.
BSP’s most important achievement is being the economic engine of the nation and its success is sustained by deep mutual respect and trust between His Majesty’s Government and Shell, he said.

“Together, they have provided the guidance, resources, stability and total commitment for BSP through some very testing times. The road ahead will bring new and even greater challenges: harder-to-access resources, environmental pressures and more intense competition in global energy markets. I am very pleased to say that the people of BSP fully understand the scale of these challenges and are pursuing new programmes to secure the business in the future,” the minister said.

Representing the Royal Dutch Shell, Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser, in his speech, underscored the strong partnership with His Majesty’s government, which led to the sustained success of BSP over 80 years.

He noted that BSP was one of the very first joint venture partnerships in the Shell Group and has always served as a model on how they should be operated.

“It is easy for an international oil joint venture company to say the right things about maximising local expertise, applying technology, maintaining safety and supporting the community. However, actually delivering on all of those commitments year-on-year is incredibly challenging, and is anything but easy.

“Yet, BSP has an exemplary record and indeed sets the pace in these areas. Without fuss or fanfare, the exceptional team at BSP diligently removed all the barriers and made things happen,” he underscored.

The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell also has the opportunity to observe many BSP’s commercial and operational achievements first-hand and proud to see the see cutting-edge Shell technologies being applied so successfully.

He further highlighted the remarkable achievement of Bugan, which he dubbed as a huge, world-class engineering project being delivered a year ahead of schedule within the budget and safely — without any single injury during the execution of the project. Bugan has now been completed to the highest standards.

He is also impressed with BSP work to improve the efficiency across the business by eliminating waste and reducing costs and such great successes are the culmination of many years of sustained commitment and significant financial investment in Brunei. A highly-skilled workforce and local contractor base have been established in what has become a thriving local oil and gas industry.

The years ahead will see BSP take on its biggest challenges yet as it moves into deeper water, and even more complex reservoirs in shallow water and onshore, he noted. At the same time, world energy and commercial markets are likely to become more volatile.

However he pledged to commit 100 per cent of its global expertise and capabilities to support BSP through these changes and the people here can count on complete support from the global Shell network – whether it be scientific expertise, operational and business know-how, commercial leverage or support on health, safety and the environment.

As other oil companies decided that it was not worth pursuing opportunities in Brunei in the 1920s, Shell has remained loyal to Brunei and went on to help develop the country’s wealth of resources, he said.

Managing Director of BSP Dr Grahaeme Henderson, in his speech, recounted BSP’s historical journey 80 years ago with the first commercial oil discovery in Brunei. BSP has built a long-term track record as a “company of firsts”, leading the global industry in many areas.

“Our engineers have consistently invented new drilling techniques to access Brunei’s complex underground reservoirs. This includes ‘fish-hook’ wells to reach subsea reservoirs from the land, and “snake wells” that weave several kilometres underground to access small pockets of oil and gas. BSP has also pioneered Shell’s “smart technologies” which allows us, in real time, to monitor and control from this head office where we sit today, our offshore operations that are located many kilometres away.”

He underscored that together, they have built a dynamic, world-class operation that spans more than 200 land and offshore structures linked by over 2000 kilometres of pipeline, recovering oil and gas from 4,700 reservoirs and producing through 750 wells.

In 80 years, BSP has produced an impressive six billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent and continues to be an important supplier to world markets, the BSP Managing Director said in highlighting the achievements.

Its continued investment in leading-edge technologies will enable BSP to sustain the successful long-term development of oil and gas resources in Brunei, he added.

To mark the significant milestone, BSP launched a community campaign called ‘Brunei Tell-A-Friend’ to help improve safety on the roads.

Through the campaign in a bid to make Brunei’s road the safest in the world, it first asks everyone in Brunei to comply with the rules and also to tell their family and friends to do the same.

“Someone knows that person is not wearing the seatbelt, or the person is speeding, or using a mobile phone when driving. Working together, we can help improve driving habits and make a major difference to everyone in Brunei; he stressed.

“Although we in BSP have developed the thinking behind Tell-A-Friend and undertaken a very successful trial amongst our staff, the campaign will not be owned by BSP. Instead, it will pull together organisations from both the private and public sector, to work together, as one team, to jointly adopt the campaign,” he said.

Latest from Malaysia goverment - Petronas

noreply@blogger.com (zamrijut) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:15:00 +0000

PETALING JAYA: Omar Mustapha Ong (pic) of Ethos & Co has received his letter from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to join Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) as independent, non-executive director.

It is learnt that he will be attending his first board meeting possibly today.This ends months of speculation and controversial reports over his appointment which has drawn flak from the current board members of Petronas and even former prime minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad.

In the midst of all the contentious reports, Omar’s previous unpaid (which he subsequently paid) Petronas scholarship and non-completion of the number of years of service required, was highlighted.

Omar Mustapha Ong

A news report yesterday said there was some misunderstanding over the matter as Omar had offered to pay in full but his offer had been somehow “overlooked or ignored’’ by Petronas.

Then, there was an issue with his age. At 38, Omar is the co-founder of his seven-year-old management and strategic consulting firm, which many have likened to the Malaysian version of McKinsey & Co.

Omar, an Oxford graduate and Eisenhower fellow, becomes the second independent, non-executive director at Petronas after Abdul Kadir Md Kassim, an advocate and solicitor.Previously, Tun Zaki Azmi – who is the current Chief Justice – was an independent, non-executive director before his appointment as president of the Court of Appeals in December 2007.

The Petronas board has been operating quite independently for some time; however, corporate governance experts reckon the time for change could be near.

The board currently comprises Tan Sri Hassan Marican as acting chairman and CEO; three senior government representatives who are non-independent and non-executive directors; and three vice-presidents who are executive directors.

The new trend in corporate governance is for the appointment of more independent directors while only the CEO and possibly the chief financial officer may be executive directors.

Generally, it would be a third of each category of directors with the number of executive directors in the minority. Boards are also aiming for greater diversity in terms of background, experience and expertise, while looking for ways to refresh and reinvent themselves.

Another trend involves the separation of the post of chairman and CEO, which in the last five years since the demise of the late Tan Sri Azizan Zainul Abidin, has been held by one person.

When Hassan, as vice-president of finance, was appointed to the board, he was 36 and, therefore, younger than Omar. Blogs have lambasted Omar’s appointment, questioning if this was the beginning of the politicisation of the board which once had Zaki, former Umno legal adviser, as director.

The fact that Omar was a former aide to Najib when he was deputy prime minister, has added zing to the conjectures. The fact of the matter is, observers say, Omar appears to have the trust and respect of Najib who has the final say in Petronas board appointments.

Cooperation between 2 country

noreply@blogger.com (zamrijut) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 07:26:00 +0000

The Prime Minister ( Malaysia ) said the details of the oil and gas venture would be worked out later, adding that the services of national oil corporation Petronas had been proposed to Brunei to consider.

He said another key decision was the agreement between both countries to settle the land and maritime boundary demarcation.

'In principle, the land and maritime boundary issue has been agreed upon, with topography surveying and demarcation work on the ground being worked out.

'There is still a large section of land to be demarcated and it may take time. The agreement (on the land and maritime boundary demarcation) will be final,' he told reporters before concluding his three-day official visit to the oil-rich sultanate.

In March, Malaysia and Brunei had agreed in principle to an umbrella agreement to resolve outstanding overlapping claims on the land and maritime boundary concerning Limbang, a division in Sarawak sandwiched by the two borders of Brunei.

Both countries will also jointly invest in building more bridges along the 1,800km-long Pan-Borneo Highway stretching from the southern tip of Sarawak through Brunei to the eastern territories of Sabah.

Also being mulled are more ferry services in the Sarawak-Brunei-Sabah zone, and the use of smaller aircraft to reach remote destinations.

Malaysia is also eyeing major construction projects in the housing and industrial sectors mushrooming in the sultanate. Brunei and Malaysia are also exploring joint projects in third countries.

Brunei will also invest in new power generation projects coming up in Sarawak and in the halal food hub and oil palm projects in Sabah and Sarawak.

The Sultan, in his speech during a banquet hosted for Najib on Wednesday night, described Malaysia as a very important partner for Brunei in its quest to develop its socio-economy.

The largest company in oil and gas at Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (zamrijut) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 07:01:00 +0000

Addis Ababa (The Reporter) — The Malaysian oil and gas giant, Petronas, is to start drilling the first exploration well in the Ogaden basin.

Petronas will soon start drilling two wells in its concession area in the Genele block. The company has hired a Dubai based company, Weather Ford, which will conduct seismic survey and drill the exploration wells. Recently, Weather Ford started mobilizing its drilling crew, drilling rigs and machines for conducting seismic surveys in the region.

Reliable sources told The Reporter that Weather Ford has agreed to drill exploration wells in the Genale block, block 11 and 15. Sources said Weather Ford is mobilizing its crew and drilling rigs. Weather Ford is engaged in oil and gas exploration work in the Middle East. Petronas conducted various surveys in the Ogaden. However, it did not drill wells.

In 2004 Zhongyuan Petroleum Exploration Bureau (ZPEB), a Chinese company, was contracted by Petronas to do seismic survey and drill exploration wells in the Gambella block owned by Petronas. Petronas acquired the Gambella block, covering about 16,000 sq. km of land, in June 2003. ZPEB collected seismic data on 1500 km. Accordingly, in 2005 ZPEB drilled the first wild cat well in Jikaw locality, only 175 km from the Ethio-Sudan border. The company drilled the second well in Jakaranda locality in 2006. Both wells were dry. Petronas spent 32 million dollars for the drillings and testing. ZPEB withdrew from Gambella after it finalized its work in 2006.

However, the same year, Petronas hired ZPEB to conduct seismic survey in the Ogaden basin. In July 2005, Petronas acquired three blocks in the Ogaden basin – Genale block (24,420 Sq km, Kallafo 30,612 sq.km and Welwel-Warder 36,796 sq.km). In 2006, ZPEB started collecting seismic data in the three blocks.

In October 2006 South West Energy hired ZPEB to do seismic survey in the Ogaden basin. In December 2005, South West Energy, a company owned by an Ethiopian businessman, acquired a Degehabur block covering 21,187 sq. km of land. In January 2007, ZPEB commenced collecting seismic data in the Degehabur block. On 24 Apil 2007 the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) attacked the Abole exploration site in the Degehabur zone of the Somali Regional State. Seventy-four civilians, including nine Chinese, were killed in the attack. Seven Chinese workers were abducted by ONLF fighters. However, they were released after two weeks. Following the attack in May 2007, ZPEB evacuated all its employees working in Ethiopia. Although the Ethiopian government tried hard to convince officials of ZPEB and SINOPEC to resume operations the companies declined to send their technicians back to Ogaden. ZPEB had terminated all the projects in Ethiopia.

It is to be recalled that Petronas agreed to develop the Callub and Hillala gas fields and paid the Ethiopian government 80 million dollars. The agreement was signed in 2007. However, the company has not started work on the project. Sources told The Reporter that it was related to security issues. Petronas had a plan to build a gas treatment plant. The company planned to construct a gas pipeline that stareches from the gas fields all the way to Djibouti. The total investment cost is estimated at 1.9 billion dollars.

A senior company official said the natural gas reserve in Calub and Hilala was estimated at 118 billion cu.m. adding that it was a small reserve compared to other reserves. It requires a lot of money to develop the natural gas. So the company is saying that it must discover additional reserves and build a gas treatment plant,” the official said.

In a related news, Pexco, a company based in Malaysia, started seismic survey in its concession in the Ogaden. White Nile, Lundin, South West Energy, and Afar Explorations are in the process of starting seismic survey in their concession areas. Pexco has conducted airborne magnetic and gravity survey in the Ogaden basin. The results of the magnetic and gravity survey were evaluated by the ministry.

Introduction about oil and gas

The modern oil and gas industry was born in the late 19th century. In the early 1800's, merchants built damns that allowed oil to float to the waters' surface in an area within Western Pennsylvania called Oil Creek. A technique using blankets was employed placing blankets in the water, letting them soak with oil, and the oil was then retrieved by wringing out the blankets. The oil was sold for two dollars per gallon.

The invention of the kerosene lamp in the mid 1850's led to the establishment of the first U.S. oil company, the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company. However, the first major oil company was the Standard Oil Company founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1870. Standard Oil built its first oil refinery in Pennsylvania, then later expanded its extensive operations nationwide. After a decade of fierce competition, Standard Oil became the industry's most dominant company controlling 80 percent of the distribution of all principal oil products, in particular kerosene.

In 1909 as a result of antitrust laws, federal courts ordered the break up of the Standard Oil Company dividing it up into 34 separate companies. Standard Oil dominated the first two decades of the oil and gas industry, and the U.S. accounted for more than half of the world's production until around 1950. As the industry became more global in nature, other world markets in Europe, Russia and Asia, began to play a much greater role. New industry giants emerged such as, Shell, Royal Dutch, and Anglo-Persian which later became British Petroleum.
