...3: Using Teams in Production and Operations Management Brandon Jones Contemporary Business February 12, 2011 The British Petroleum Company, better known as BP, is an oil and petroleum conglomerate that has serviced consumers’ needs since approximately 1909. When it was first founded by William Knox D’Arcy the company was known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (BP Global, 1996-2012). The first few years of business was shaky Winston Churchill believed in its success and supported the oil movement. His speech captured the attention of the United Kingdom government so remarkably that they endorsed and became investors of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) (BP Global, 1996-2012). With the growth of heating and automobiles powered by gasoline came the rising success of the APOC. In 1935 Persia renamed its country Iran, thus sparking the company name change to Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) (BP Global, 1996-2012). After many ups and downs during and following World War II, the year was 1964 when the AOIC took on its third and present name change to British Petroleum Company, better known as BP(BP Global, 1996-2012). British Petroleum Company is currently a one of the world’s top ranked oil suppliers. With recent economic changes, BP has formed new subdivisions in order to maintain revenue and appeal to consumers. The British Petroleum Company’s presence exists in all 7 global continents. Many of these worldwide operations have partnered up with local affiliates...

...Background The previous term, Josh had been enrolled in Professor Dorf’s class on Business and Sustainability. While the class was offered at the GSM, it was open to the entire university. In this class, he met Hannah Long, who was in her final year of her undergraduate studies in Agricultural Economics, and Matthew Hammond, who was a senior in the Mechanical Engineering department. The three began working on a class project, which would ultimately turn into a formidable business opportunity. The impetus for their collaboration began with a lecture-discussion regarding the challenges and opportunities in the emerging renewable energy industry. The Challenge Dependence on energy is a worldwide reality. Energy powers the machines and equipment around us in order to make life more convenient and efficient. In our everyday lives, energy is synonymous with the forms that it can assume. The major generation sources—petroleum, coal, natural gas and nuclear—are non-renewable resources and have detrimental effects on the environment. In our daily lives, the two most common forms of this energy are liquid fuel (refined from petroleum) and electricity. Increasingly, developed and developing countries...

...MW corp By michael_manly | Studymode.com Draft MW Petroleum Corporation (A) Background: In late 1990, the group of Amoco Corporation and Apache Corporation had begun talking regarding the possible acquisition of MW Petroleum from Amoco to Apache. MW Petroleum Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amoco Corporation which has its own reserves, management team and with full ownership in geologic and engineering data. MW Petroleum, a free-standing exploration company that was even as large as some of independent oil companies. It operated exploration and development for well, approximately working interests in 9,500 wells in 300 production areas. The growth of MW was very attractive to the other investors, which company grows 30% per year since mid-1980s, due to large acquisition. If the acquisition will push through, this will be one of the largest acquisition in that period because MW size was two times large compare to Apache’s current operation. Amoco Corporation Amoco Corporation was formerly Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was built in 1889 located at Whiting, Indiana, United States. The company was acquired by American Oil Company which founded in Baltimore in 1910 and incorporated in 1922. In 1998, Amoco merged with BP which one of the biggest oil company in England. The company contributes to the modern industry, their innovation was breaks into two parts, the gasoline tanker truck which used to designed to carry liquefied loads, dry bulk cargo or gases on...

...Dr. Stella Madueme. / International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Vol. 2(4), 2010, 610-617 Gas Flaring activities of major oil companies in Nigeria: An economic investigation. Dr. Stella Madueme Department of Economics University of Nigeria, Nsukka Enugu State, Nigeria Abstract This paper reveals the general trends in gas flaring in seven major oil companies in Nigeria from 2000 to 2008. It reveals which company’s flaring activities constitutes the greatest hazard. Data was collected through archival sources. Gas flaring activities was highest between 2000 to2002 but presently only about a quarter of all gas produced is flared. TEXACO and PAN OCEAN has been flaring more than 95% of its gas from 2000 to 2008. SHELL was discovered to maintain the best record in terms of the fact that its flaring activities has been decreasing consistently over the years. Some of the recommendations are planned targeted policies towards gas flaring reduction, increased government taxation on gas flaring and governmental reward packages to companies with lowest flaring activities are also necessitated. Keywords: Oil company. Gas. Flaring, economic, environmental, hazard Introduction and literature review Gas flaring has been recognised as an economic waste and a great environmental hazard. Various researchers have written extensively on various issues in the gas sector. Blasing, Hand and Kimberly (2007) worked on monthly carbon emissions from natural gas flaring and cement manufacture...

...According to the American Petroleum Institute, the industry is divided into sectors to cover all the procedures involved in finding, producing, processing, transporting and marketing oil and gas. These sectors include: 1. Upstream: involved in exploration and production of oil and gas using advanced geology to high-tech offshore drilling platforms 2. Downstream: involved in refining and marketing. It also includes the transportation of products using tankers from local terminals to service stations and ownership and operations in retail outlets. 3. Pipeline: involved in the movement of oil from ocean platforms and wells on land to refineries and finally to terminals where they are released to retail outlets 4. Marine: comprises all aspects of petroleum and its products movement by water, including port operations, maritime fighting and oil spill response. 5. Service and supply: includes companies that provide supplies, services, design and engineering support for exploration, drilling, refining and other operations. As with all other industries, there exist features that are peculiar to the petroleum. Common amongst these as identified in the 2007 UNCTAD report are: t finite supply of the product as it is non-renewable t differences in cost between production sites as a result constraints in technology, environment, etc that may exist in one site and not in the other t the industry is capital intensive and as such the risk level is high t in terms of demand and supply...

...a better part of my more than two decades of working in a management consulting career advising clients in the oil and gas industry. I have more than an average understanding of the issues facing the industry and I am convinced that unless we get private capital and expertise and a decent regulator into the downstream industry we cannot solve the problem of local value addition, investments and sustainable employment. The problem off course is that no serious investor will put money into an industry where price is set below cost of production and supply. Most Nigerians really do not know how bad the situation is in the government monopoly controlled downstream sector. An industry that should be employing a significant number of our engineering graduates and technicians yearly employs almost none. Until a few years ago the average age of staff in the downstream oil and gas industry was close to 50! You can work the math out. It means that for at least 20 years, no new blood was infused in reasonable numbers. Now this should be one of the largest employers of labour in our country. A healthy downstream oil and gas industry in Nigeria should be supplying the bulk of fuels for Sub-Saharan Africa. Indeed, World Bank...
