The Changing Face of National Oil Companies (NOCs): NOC and State Strategies Driving Internationalization

Summary

GlobalData’s latest release “The Changing Face of National Oil Companies (NOCs): NOC and State, Strategies Driving Internationalization” that provides detailed analysis of national oil companies across the value chain detailing the role and position of the NOCs in each segment of the value chain, also detailing the major planned projects by NOCs, both domestic and international. It also provides a comparison between the national oil companies and the major private international oil companies across various operational parameters. The report discusses the major strategies adopted by the NOCs in order to achieve a sustained growth and further expand their operations internationally. In addition, it covers the major M&A activities undertaken by the NOCs over the past five years leading to internationalization of operations. Key opportunities for the NOCs for future growth are also discussed.
National oil companies are becomingly increasingly active in each segment of the crude oil and natural gas value chain. The NOCs dominate the upstream industry, are fast expanding their operations in both midstream and downstream industry and are also actively participating in the global M&A activities. The NOCs are fast increasing their operations not only in the domestic country but also internationally, giving a fierce competition to the international oil companies (IOCs). These national oil companies enjoy the strong backing of the state governments and are comfortably placed for a strong growth in the future years.
Major national oil companies, undeterred by the global financial crisis, have a planned capex of over $261 billion during 2009. The NOCs of major oil and gas producing countries will spend approximately $540 billion in oil and gas investments over the next five years. The companies will also invest to make their operations more integrated and also expand internationally. The Chinese and Indian national oil companies will continue to spend aggressively in overseas acquisitions. Several Chinese national oil companies have invested over $33.8 billion from 2003 to July 2009 in acquiring different assets across the globe. The industry will also witness increased NOC-NOC partnerships during 2009-15, with the companies leveraging on political ties in order to expand their operations. China’s recent loan for oil agreements with different oil and gas producing countries will allow the country’s different NOCs to expand their presence in the related countries. Chinese government has spent approximately $45 billion in different loan for oil agreements in 2009.
