BASIC PRINCIPLES OF RISK

Remembering the basics of RiskPeople don’t take risk for the sake of risk … it is tolerated for the satisfaction of other motives …. These “other motives” are the human element that we can’t engineer away …

They say there is “zero tolerance”?• Offshore E&P
• Usually JV ownership• Silo-ed operations• Overly engineered processes• Maintenance is systematic – optimized for efficiency
• Onshore• Shale play requires multiple contactors• Flexibility and Innovation are key• Fracking is no longer just stimulation• Well pads have simultaneous process … drilling + finishing + production
• Where is there risk blindness?• What happens when systems fail?

Refineries, products and consumer contact• Risk of spill• Waste product disposal• Contaminated products• Dependence on automated activities• No new refineries• Current trends in acquisitions and divestitures• Movement in storage terminals• Oil Majors were divesting downstream ops to improve returns

Today’s Economic RealityVolatile Commodity Pricing• Operational efficiency in pricing downturn
• Invest in growth projects and prospects• Continued exploration and appraisal activities but reduced drilling• Preserve strength of balance sheet;
maintain operational flexibility; preserve long term growth options
• Contractual implications …How many drilling rigs to operate? … where to utilize the equipment
• Invest where there is the best return

Mergers, Acquisitions, DivestituresHouston oil and gas companies could be part of dealmaking yearWith oil prices down, companies industry-wide that previously bought assets are now selling them. Houston's Vanguard Natural Resources, for example, spent $1 billion buying rivals, but is now selling off oil fields it acquired. Major acquisitions are on hold because of volatile oil prices, although Cabot Oil & Gas is considered a viable takeover target because of its valuable assets and stability. (Reuters)
