Book Synopsis The Official History of North Sea Oil and Gas by : Alex Kemp
Download or read book The Official History of North Sea Oil and Gas written by Alex Kemp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the leading expert in the history of UK energy, this study provides new, in-depth analysis of the development of UK petroleum policies towards the North Sea oil and gas industry from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Following on from volume I (The Growing Dominance of the State) to discuss the more recent history of the North Sea oil and gas industry, here Alex Kemp offers new insights into developments in the industry. The controversial decisions to raise gas prices to consumers and to introduce the Gas Levy are discussed, while the thinking behind the gradual reduction in taxation - including the abolition of SPD (Supplementary Petroleum Duty) and the removal of royalties on new developments - is fully explained. The various options considered to reduce the powers of BNOC (British National Oil Corporation), then privatise its upstream assets, and finally to abolish the state company altogether are fully discussed, as is the thinking leading up to the privatisation of the British Gas Corporation in 1986. This volume also sheds light on the development of policies onshore, particularly the role of the OSO (Offshore Supplies Office), and the response of British industry to the North Sea opportunity. Finally, the evolution of policies relating to health, safety, decommissioning, and the environment over the whole period of the study are examined. The Official History of North Sea Oil and Gas will be of interest to students of North Sea oil and gas, energy economics, business history, and British politics, as well as to petroleum professionals and policymakers.

Book Synopsis The Sea of Lost Opportunity by : Norman J. Smith
Download or read book The Sea of Lost Opportunity written by Norman J. Smith and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-04-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a contribution to the history of a vital stage of UK technical and economic development, perhaps the most important since the Second World War. It shows, from an industrial viewpoint, how the British handled the exploitation of their most significant natural resource gain of the 20th century. Notwithstanding the nearly 30 years of government support through the Offshore Supplies Office, the UK has not reaped the full benefit of the North Sea discoveries; this book attempts to explain why. It will assist governments and industries faced with future instances of unforeseen, specialist and large-scale new demand to manage their reactions more effectively. It also throws light on how governments can pursue strategic industrial objectives while leaving market mechanisms to function with minimal interference, something some administrations – perhaps even the British – may wish to do now or in the future. Covers the entire period from the first well offshore Britain until the dismantling of the specific British industrial policy measures for offshore supplies Based in large measure upon archives not previously accessed and the private testimony/papers of participants 'Drills down' to the level of individual company decisions through case study and other material The only properly researched description of how the world’s first major local content initiative developed

Download or read book The Official History of North Sea Oil and Gas written by Alex Kemp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the leading expert in UK petroleum economics, this study provides a new, unique, in-depth analysis of the development of British policies towards the North Sea oil and gas industry from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Drawing on full access to the UK Government’s relevant archives, Alex Kemp examines the thinking behind the initial legislation in 1964, the early licensing arrangements and the events leading up to the boundary delimitation agreements with Norway and other adjacent North Sea countries. He explains the debate in the later 1960s about the appropriate role of the state in the exploitation of the gas and oil resources, the prolonged negotiations resulting in the early long-term gas contracts, and the continuing debate on the role of the state following the large oil discoveries in the first half of the 1970s resulting in the formation of BNOC (British National Oil Corporation). The debate leading up to the introduction of, and subsequent increase in, the Petroleum Revenue Tax is fully explained as is the introduction of Supplementary Petroleum Duty. The author also outlines the debates around interventionist depletion policies and on how the oil revenues should best be utilised. The Official History of North Sea Oil and Gas will be of much interest to students of North Sea oil and gas, energy economics, business history, and British politics, as well as to petroleum professionals and policymakers.
Book Synopsis The Global Geopolitics of Energy, 2014-2018 by : Kimble F. Ainslie
Download or read book The Global Geopolitics of Energy, 2014-2018 written by Kimble F. Ainslie and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is organized around 50 commentaries on geopolitical energy subjects. It begins with a focus on the Americas, but then quickly skips to more international destinations encompassing five continents. The commentaries reflect on the politics emanating from the post-2014 decline in world oil and gas prices and the attendant massive increase in supply—particularly North American supply—brought on by the discovery and development of unconventional sources of energy. The commentaries give the reader a real-time perspective on politics that brings to life the current history of national and sub-national jurisdictions. As such, they offer the perspective of history “on the move.”
Book Synopsis Paying for the Piper by : Charles Woolfson
Download or read book Paying for the Piper written by Charles Woolfson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an appraisal of current offshore industrial relations, and safety regulations instituted after the 1988 Alpha disaster in the North Sea. This text discusses the oil industry's attempts to contain subsequent, unwelcome regulatory interference, and examines the fraught history of trade unionism in the offshore industry, the conflict over health and safety, and the sometimes brutal struggle over union rights as the workforce attempted to achieve a collective voice in the reshaping of the safety and production environment. The authors conclude that, as yet, offshore safety has been little, or not at all, improved.

Book Synopsis The Gulf Oil and Gas Sector by : The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research
Download or read book The Gulf Oil and Gas Sector written by The Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The predominance of oil as the world’s main source of energy, coupled with the recent phenomenal growth of the natural gas industry spurred by environmental considerations, ensure that the Gulf’s energy sector will continue to play a pivotal role in the global market. With world demand projected to reach unprecedented levels led by Asian economic powers such as China and India, oil production peaking in key areas and geopolitical crises fueling greater uncertainty, issues of global supply security have come to the fore. All these factors have led to a steep rise in petroleum prices, filling the coffers of the oil producers but threatening to paralyze the global economy and imposing a heavy burden on the ultimate consumers. In this energy scenario, where does the Gulf oil and gas sector stand? How can it meet its long-term strategic requirements while satisfying the energy needs of the global economy? This was the main focus of the ECSSR Tenth Annual Energy Conference on The Gulf Oil and Gas Sector: Potential and Constraints, held in Abu Dhabi, from September 26–27, 2004. The conference presentations of the energy experts compiled in this book examine both the possibilities and the problems of the Gulf energy sector in the wider global context. Important energy issues covered include the future prospects of OPEC, the impact of world oil prices on global growth, the strategic objectives of the Gulf energy sector, the influence of markets and technology on regional reserves, the emerging partnerships between national and international oil companies, the imperatives for attracting Gulf energy investment and new developments in gas technology and regional gas trade. Regional case studies outline possible scenarios for the future of Iraqi oil, highlight policy options for Saudi Arabia as a swing producer and focus on the Norwegian experience of economic diversification.

Book Synopsis Energy Justice by : Rukonge Sospeter Muhongo
Download or read book Energy Justice written by Rukonge Sospeter Muhongo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores local content policies and their role in natural resource management within the realm of energy justice. Based on several country case studies it discusses the role of regional integration for such policies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Energy justice has been widely applied across different aspects of development, but here the principles of justice are specifically integrated with the management and implementation of oil and gas projects. Such an analysis offers novel means of implementing policies in local regions, moving away from a one-size fits all approach that leads to the ineffective transplantation of policies from developed economies to developing Sub-Saharan economies. The book argues that with a regional approach, Sub-Saharan Africa can leverage natural resources, industrial parks, supplier clusters, regional financing mechanisms and regional training facilities which would drive down the costs of production, increase efficiency and integrate the local Sub-Saharan population into the oil and gas industry. This would result in the benefits as well as the environmental concerns and responsibilities intrinsic to these industries, being spread more equally amongst local and none local stakeholders. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students as well as policy makers and practitioners in the areas of extractive industry-related disciplines energy governance, and economic development in Africa.
Book Synopsis The New Politics of Energy Security in the European Union and Beyond by : Andrea Prontera
Download or read book The New Politics of Energy Security in the European Union and Beyond written by Andrea Prontera and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining theoretical reflections and empirical insights from paradigmatic case studies in the area of external energy governance, pipeline politics, Liquefied Natural Gas development and offshore petroleum policy and politics, this ground-breaking study demonstrates that a distinctive and new politics of energy security is definitively emerging in the European Union. Innovative not only in regard to the case studies presented (which include the Caspian region, the Baltic, Mediterrean countries, Central Asia and EU-Russia relations), but also in regard to the analytical framework adopted – an International Political Economy approach informed by an historical institutional perspective – the book challenges the common view of the ‘de-politicisation’ of energy security supported by the mainstream market approach and the power politics and ‘zero-sum game’ view supported by the geopolitical perspective. This book places the study of EU energy politics in the broader, evolving context of global energy markets and explores the complex interactions between EU and national political dynamics and between energy security and environmental concerns at the local level.
