Originally published in 1981, this book discusses the development
of higher cost North Sea gas and oil fields. Starting with the
perceived need to develop these higher cost fields, the book
focuses on their role in the policy interplay between government
and industry. What is high cost, it is argued, is not only
economically but also institutionally determined and through a
comparative analysis of British and Danish policies with regard to
high cost fields the author maintains that the role of
institutional factors has been underplayed.
Most energy analysts now predict an imminent global energy crisis.
With the rapid industrialization of places like China and India
world oil demand has soared while geo-political tensions and
natural disasters have thrown supply questions to the fore. This
book considers the turbulence in the oil industry as a process of
industrial change. In a unique analysis of the issues, leading
commentators and international specialists present a
ground-breaking view of the future of the industry; one where
corporations are considered to be the dependent variables, not the
future production and demand for oil and gas. Particular attention
is paid to 'mega-mergers', the on-going process of downsizing and
outsourcing and the significance of such restructuring for the. A
further feature of the work is the use made of recent theories of
the firm, demonstrating how such theories can be used to analyse
one of the world's most critical industries. The distinctive
approach of this book will help extend readers' understanding of
the oil industry beyond the more conventional studies of the
industry.
