Book Description
This overview of project finance for the oil and gas industry covers financial markets, sources and providers of finance, financial structures, and capital raising processes. About US$300 billion of project finance debt is raised annually across several capital intensive sectors—including oil and gas, energy, infrastructure, and mining—and the oil and gas industry represents around 30% of the global project finance market. With over 25 year's project finance experience in international banking and industry, author Robert Clews explores project finance techniques and their effectiveness in the petroleum industry. He highlights the petroleum industry players, risks, economics, and commercial/legal arrangements. With petroleum industry projects representing amongst the largest industrial activities in the world, this book ties together concepts and tools through real examples and aims to ensure that project finance will continue to play a central role in bringing together investors and lenders to finance these ventures. - Combines the theory and practice of raising long-term funding for capital intensive projects with insights about the appeal of project finance to the international oil and gas industry - Includes case studies and examples covering projects in the Arctic, East Africa, Latin America, North America, and Australia - Emphasizes the full downstream value chain of the industry instead of limiting itself to upstream and pipeline project financing - Highlights petroleum industry players, risks, economics, and commercial and legal arrangements

Project Finance in Africa
Author: Joshua Yindenaba Abor
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040311776
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Infrastructure drives economic growth and sustainable development by facilitating productivity, attracting foreign investment, promoting industrialisation, reducing poverty, improving standards of living, and enhancing human development. Thus, the development of project-oriented frameworks/institutions that offer long-term infrastructure financing has been identified as a core and guaranteed way to maximise economic growth and development, especially for developing regions like Africa. Project finance has a critical role in infrastructure development. This book examines the project finance ecosystem, methods, analysis, and key-related risks. Its unique contribution to the literature is its focus on Africa, where there is a huge infrastructure investment deficit and a lack of technical know-how to bridge this gap. Following a detailed introduction to project finance, the book investigates project viability, project characteristics, risk analysis and management, structure and legal issues in the context of project finance, as well as project finance markets, banks and syndicated lending, financing the deal, and the role of project advisors. It also offers insight into financial modelling and project evaluation, credit risk in project finance from the lender’s perspective, and the role of project finance in the petroleum industry. The book provides two African-related case studies of project finance. The book incorporates theoretical perspectives, valuable policy insights and resources, and offers strategies to improve and reform the structure and implementation of project finance in Africa. It provides scholarly and professionally engineered knowledge, and while each chapter explains and discusses several related issues, the case studies offer a real-life learning and teaching experience for academics and students to enhance their understanding of the issues under discussion.

The Economics of the Oil and Gas Industry
Author: Joshua Yindenaba Abor
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000834026
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Energy is a key resource for transformational development globally. Oil and gas continue to play a key role in this sector irrespective of the gradual transition towards renewables and will continue to do so in most developing and emerging economies in the near future. The industry is complex and highly capital intensive not only with significant risk, but also with significant benefits. Such a complex but important sector is generally not well understood both in academic and policy circles. This book fills this void by serving as a comprehensive reference to the oil and gas sector, with a focus on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). It offers in-depth coverage of the critical and contemporary issues in the economics of the oil and gas industry by carefully integrating the relevant theoretical underpinnings and practical policy issues across the value chain of the industry in relation to the development, fiscal arrangements, and the economic and financing aspects of the industry. These insights will significantly deepen the understanding of the industry and extend knowledge of the sector in ways that existing books do not. The book includes relevant cases and, thus, will serve as a valuable resource for students taking courses in market analysis of the oil and gas industry, energy economics, development economics and finance, environmental and resource economics, the political economy of the extractive industry, and development studies. Researchers and practitioners working in these areas will also find the book to be a useful reference guide.

Political and Investment Risk in the International Oil and Gas Industry
Author: Steven A. Mucci
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498546137
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
This book examines the financial, legal and institutional strategies available to the international oil and gas industry to manage political and investment risk. The financial techniques for mitigating and allocating risk include corporate finance, joint ventures, and project finance. The legal techniques include production sharing agreements, profit sharing agreements, service contracts, bilateral investment treaties, and multilateral investment treaties. The institutional techniques include domestic courts, national constitutions, international arbitral tribunals, governmental and non-governmental regulatory agencies, alliances and energy diplomacy.This book traces the historical development of these techniques and their application in practice. The effectiveness with which companies manage political and investment risk is important for the financial sustainability of individual firms and the industry as whole. The real and perceived level of risk affects the level of exploration expenditures and therefore the balance between supply and demand, and the price of oil and natural gas. The search for a secure supply of oil and gas affects the political, military, and economic relations between countries. Consequently, every developed and developing country has placed energy policy at or near the top of its national priorities.

Sustainability Management in the Oil and Gas Industry
Author: Joshua Yindenaba Abor
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000890384
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The oil and gas industry is a complex sector with significant reach in terms of providing the energy needs of the global economy and the security, environmental and development consequences thereof. In particular, the sector is extremely important for the economic growth of emerging markets and developing countries. Furthermore, the life span of oil and gas resources is finite, with high health and safety risks and substantial environmental costs that require careful management and sustainability practices to ensure optimal extraction and utilisation of these resources. This book examines the challenges and opportunities in the oil and gas industry, in the context of emerging markets and developing economies. It provides comprehensive coverage of the management and sustainability practices of the sector, the environmental impact and sustainability of resources as well as the businesses that operate in the sector across the entire value chain. It addresses the current discourse on topics such as the Sustainable Development Goals, the Green Economy, the Paris Agreement and Glasgow Climate Pact and concludes with a chapter on the future of the oil and gas industry. The discussions around energy and energy transitions in particular continue to gain momentum and the book provides a wide-reaching and up-to-date overview of the industry. The book introduces readers to the concepts and formal models of analysis in the oil and gas sector and will serve as a useful resource for students, scholars and researchers in operations, marketing, procurement and supply chain management, project management, health and safety management, environmental economics, natural resource economics, development finance, and development studies. Researchers and practitioners working in these areas will also find the book a useful reference material.

The Law of the Seabed
Author: Catherine Banet
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004391568
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 637
Book Description
The Law of the Seabed reviews the most pressing legal questions raised by the use and protection of natural resources on and underneath the world’s seabeds. While barely accessible, the seabed plays a major role in the Earth’s ecological balance. It is both a medium and a resource, and is central to the blue economy. New uses and new knowledge about seabed ecosystems, and the risks of disputes due to competing interests, urge reflection on which regulatory approaches to pursue. The regulation of ocean activities is essentially sector-based, and the book puts in parallel the international and national regimes for seabed mining, oil and gas, energy generation, bottom fisheries, marine genetic resources, carbon sequestration and maritime security operations, both within and beyond the national jurisdiction. The book contains seven parts respectively addressing the definition of the seabed from a multidisciplinary perspective, the principles of jurisdiction delimitation under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the regimes for use of non-living, living and marine biodiversity resources, the role of state and non-state actors, the laying and removal of installations, the principles for sustainable and equitable use (common heritage of mankind, precaution, benefit sharing), and management tools to ensure coexistence between activities as well as the protection of the marine environment.
