The New Seven Sisters: The World's
Most Powerful Oil Companies
Coined by Italian energy magnate Enrico Mattei, the term"Seven Sisters" referred to the seven international oilcompanies that dominated the world's oil production afterWorld War II.
Today, a whole new group of oil and gas companies havebecome today's Titans
The New Seven Sisters are ranked on the basis of resource
base, level of output, company's ambition, scale of theirdomestic market, and influence in the industry.They are SaudiAramco, Russia's Gazprom, CNPC of China, NIOC of Iran,Venezuela's PDVSA, Brazil's Petrobras and Petronas(Malaysia).

The New Seven Sisters control about one-third of the world's oiland gas production and reserves
The International Energy Agency (IEA) calculates that over thenext 40 years, 90% of new supplies will come from developingcountries
Some of the New Seven Sisters have become little more thantheir home country's bottomless piggybank, funding politicallyexpedient social ventures
Hugo Chvez of Venezuela who spends two-thirds of PDVSA's
profits on his populist social programs
NIOC cannot boost its oil production or fix its refineries becauseits profits go toward keeping gas at 40 cents per gallon for Iranianconsumers

Gazprom The largest extractor of natural gas in the world and the largest
Russian company
The oil industry has been the largest contributor in terms of revenueto Russia. Oil & Gas exports formed 17% of Russian GDP in 2009
1989-1992: Inception- In August, 1989, the ministry transformeditself into State Gas Concern Gazprom, which became the country'sfirst state-corporate enterprise
1993-1997: Privatization: Gazprom's political influence increasedmarkedly after the new Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
By 1994, 33% of the Gazprom's shares had been bought by 747,000members of the public, mostly in exchange for the vouchers. 15% of thestock was also purchased and allocated to Gazprom employees. The stateretained 40% of the shares, but the amount was gradually lowered to 38%.

In June 2000 Vladimir Putin became the President of Russia.
2000-2003: He launched an attack against what he saw as
mismanagement and personal pillaging of state assets and
launched a campaign to establish state control in strategiccompanies.
Putin fired the Prime Minister and voted out the chairman of
the company's board and replaced them by men who had
previously worked with him.
In June 2005, Two subsidiaries of Gazprom, agreed to sell a
10.7399% share to the state-owned company Rosneftegaz for
$7 billion, at an undervalued price. The sale combined with
the 38% share of the State Property Committee, gave the
Russian government control over the company.

Controversies Related to Gazprom
January 2006
The state-controlled Russian energy giant Gazpromcut off the supply of natural gas to Ukraine after theyfailed to resolve a dispute over pricing.
Gazprom's desire to move immediately to marketpricing and Ukraine's willingness to accept only aphased transition to the kind of prices paid in WesternEurope
But the standoff had a political backdrop and had far-reaching implications for Europe, which wasincreasingly dependent on Russia for natural gas.

Controversies Related to Gazprom
Ukrainian officials said, The price hike was politically motivated
and was punishment for the pro-Western policies of Ukrainian
government NATO and EU
Russian government stated that there were fears that Ukraine,which received about one-third of its gas from Russia, could
siphon off supplies intended for customers farther west and
trigger energy crises in other countries
Russia launched a project to build a gas pipeline linking Russia
directly to Northern Germany across the Baltic Sea. Billed 'Nord
Stream', Critics pointed to attempts by Russia to bypass
Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which hadtense relations with Moscow.

The January 2009 gas crisis
On 31 December 2008, Russia stopped supplying gas to
Ukraine over a payment dispute. Russia said Ukrainewas stealing natural gas destined for Europe for its ownneeds. Ukraine denied the charges, but said it needed"technical gas" to pump fuel through the pipeline
system. On 6 January, supplies to Romania, Bulgaria, Greece,
Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia were completely halted
On 17 January, at a Moscow 'summit' that was almost
boycotted by the EU .Russian Prime Minister VladimirPutin and his Ukrainian counterpart Yulia Timoshenkostruck a deal, saying the crisis was over.
On 20 January, supplies to Europe began to flow again

Latest Developments
As the main route for Russian gas into Europe, Ukraine is vital to
both European and Russian energy security. The European Union(EU) seeks to secure gas supplies through Ukraine by integrating
its eastern neighbour into the European energy market.
Russia is seeking to prevent EU-led reforms in Ukraine in order tosecure stable gas export incomes and continue exerting power
over its sphere of privileged interest.
Russia benefits from an opaque and uncompetitive gas market inUkraine. Having lost control of the pipelines, the Ukrainian
government will have no bargaining power over establishing
prices for imported gas, and will be deprived of this important
source of rent.

In August 1971, under the presidency of Rafael Caldera, a law
was passed that nationalized the country's natural gas
industry
Venezuela was already well on its way to nationalization by1972. The country officially nationalized its oil industry on 1
January 1976
PDVSA controls activity involving oil and natural gas in
Venezuela
1973 Oil Embargo - OPEC Persian Gulf states members
decided to raise their prices by 70 percent and to place an
embargo on countries friendly to Israel (US and Holland)
Middle East and the oil producing countries of the Persian
Gulf no longer exported to the United States and oil prices
rose steeply.

In 1954, The Iranian Oil Participants (IOP), an eight-
member consortium, was established
Shareholding was in the hands of the major Western oilmajors
BP held 40 percent, Shell 14 percent, Chevron 8 percent,
Exxon 8 percent, Gulf 8 percent, Mobil 8 percent, Texaco 8
percent, and Compagnie Franaise de Ptroles 6 percent.
NIOC was recognized as the owner of Iran's oil deposits
and of all installed assets of the Iranian oil industry, but
actual control over the industry was placed firmly in the
hands of the consortium members
In 1979, NIOC came under the control of the newly
formed Ministry of Petroleum

In 1979, the second oil crisis occurred in the wake of the
Iranian Revolution.
The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, fled his country
in early 1979 and the Ayatollah Khomeini soon became thenew leader of Iran
Iran was the second largest oil producer in OPEC nations.
Its reduced oil production caused the spike of oil price.
In 1980, following the Iraqi invasion of Iran, oil production
in Iran nearly stopped, and Iraq's oil production was
severely cut as well.
The Jimmy Carter administration began a phasedderegulation of oil prices on April 5, 1979, when the
average price of crude oil was US$15.85 per barrel . Over
the next 12 months the price of crude oil rose to $39.50
per barrel

Attempts to woo China stem from a commercialdesire to attract investment
China's major national energy companies - China
National Petroleum Company (CNPC), China NationalPetrochemical Company (Sinopec) and China NationalOffshore Oil Company (CNOOC) laid the groundwork forthe eventual development of upstream equitypositions in Iran
In January 2009, CNPC signed a buyback contract withNIOC to take the lead in developing the North Azadeganoil field in two phases

A controversial Link report came out in 1961 which was
pessimistic about the on shore basins. The conclusions drawn
were on the basis of the technological state of geophysics, which
if improved could change the scenario
In 1973 the company's short period of growth was met by the
first oil crisis. The crisis affected the country as a whole, as the
"Brazilian miracle came to a halt
The OPEC countries rose the international oil prices substantially.
Petrobras being an important customer of OPECs national oil
companies was able to keep Brazilian market supplied.

To overcome, Brazil shifted to the use of Ethanol and increased
domestic production to be less dependent upon imports.
The 1973 oil crisis started in October 1973, when the members ofOAPEC (consisting of the Arab members of OPEC, plus Egypt, Syria
and Tunisia) proclaimed an oil embargo
It was in response to the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israelimilitary during the Yom Kippur war, it lasted until March 1974.
Petrobras started producing lubricating oils and supporting its
own needs, the first product was named as lubrax MG1 forgasoline engines.
In 1974 the biggest oil province in Brazil the Campos Basin was
located off the North Coast of the state of Rio De Janeiro.

PetronasSetting up a state company: 1970
Several factors converged in the early 1970s to prompt theMalaysian government into setting up a state oil and gascompany, as first proposed in its Five Year Plan published in1971.
Former Chief Minister of Sarawak, Tun Abdul RahmanYa'kub was one of the people who proposed the idea ofMalaysia setting up their own oil company
The oil crisis of 197374 made the government even moreaware of Malaysia's dependence on foreign oil and foreigncapital in general.
A final and crucial factor in the creation of Petronas, and itscontinuation in much the same form since, has been thepolitical stability of Malaysia.

Battling oil depletion: the late 1980s
A way to postpone depletion was to develop sources of oil,and of its substitute, natural gas, outside Malaysia. Late in1989, the governments of Vietnam and Myanmar (Burma)invited Petronas Carigali to take part in joint ventures toexplore for oil in their coastal waters. Thus beganPetronas's first oil exploration outside Malaysia
Another new venture in 1990 was in ship-owning, sincePetronas's existing arrangements with MISC and withNigeria's state oil company would be inadequate totransport the additional exports of LNG due to start in1994, under the contract with Saibu Gas

During the mid- to late 1990s, international exploration,development, and production remained key components inPetronas's strategy along with diversification
In 1996, Petronas entered the aromatics market by way of a joint
venture that created Aromatics Malaysia Sdn Bhd
Formed a contract with China National Offshore Oil Corporationand Chevron Overseas Petroleum Ltd. to begin exploration of block02/31 of the Liaodong Bay area in China.

Saudi AramcoHistory
Saudi Aramco is 100% state-owned national oil company of Saudi Arabia
Earlier companies like Standard Oil of California and Texaco had holdingin Aramco
Casoc only which changed its name to Aramco in 1944
In 1950 King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud threatened to nationalise Aramco andgained 50-50 profit sharing arrangement
In 1973 Saudi government acquired 25% of shares in Aramco
Finally in 1980 gained full control of the company and changed its nameto Saudi Aramco in 1988.

There were both economic and political forces behind thismove. Domestic reserves were never of the class of those inIndonesia or the Middle East and declined in spite ofconservation programs.
In 2004, the Prime Ministers Office reported that petroleumreserves would be exhausted in about 18 years and naturalgas in 35 years. Petronas leadership thus considered itessential to develop exploration and production abroad
Petronas saw opportunities in places where Westerncompanies had difficulties operating because of issuespertaining to their own governments foreign policies or non-governmental critics of these regimes.

SaudiUS relationship
Saudi-US relationship has consistently been described as anexchange of oil for security
Saudi Arabia has used a large part of the US$1.3 trillion it earnedfrom oil to develop its economy
Military cooperation is yet another area of extensive relations,
arranged for the purchase of huge arms systems including F-15s, F-16s, AWACS, tanks, and missiles
Aramco sells its oil in the United States and in the process subsidizesUS purchases by over one US dollar per barrel on the 1.5 mbd it sells
to US firms
During the Cold War, the United States and Saudi Arabia foundadditional common ground.

Deposits in Saudi
The US fears that Saudi Arabia, the world's
largest crude oil exporter, may not have
enough reserves to prevent oil prices
escalating, confidential cables from itsembassy in Riyadh show. It is feared that the
oil reserves have been overstated by as much
as 40% or 300bn barrels

Conclusion
With Oil & Gas being the new weapon of power andinfluence, these new seven sisters truely commanddominance over the rest of the world. Overwhelminglystate-owned, they control almost one-third of the worldsoil and gas production and more than one-third of its total
oil and gas reserves. In contrast, the old seven sisters which shrank to four in the industry consolidation of the1990s produce about 10 per cent of the worlds oil andgas and hold just 3 per cent of reserves. The oil industry notonly has the economic influence but also the political
influence, over the world. In future, for sure China andMiddle East have a critical geostrategic role to play in theworlds economy and power distribution, considering oilbeing the most important economic driver.
