Nadine Bret-Rouzaut Director of the Centre for Economics and Management IFP School Jean-Pierre Favennec Consultant Professor IFP School September 2011 Among them are Alain Auriault, Antoine Couturier, Alain Doat, Jean-Luc Mari and Alain Mascle.įinally, we would like to thank Total, Shell and BP who were kind enough to provide us with the photographs without which such a book would not have been possible. For the update, in addition to all those involved in the first edition (including Denis Guirauden who has been ever present by our side), we called upon a number of specialists who were tasked with looking out for errors and putting forward recommendations for changes and improvements. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all the people who were involved in the first edition of this book. If this book succeeds in providing readers with a better overview of this industry of which Colonel Drake was the pioneer, then we will have succeeded in our aim. The eighth and last chapter investigates problems to do with safety, the environment and ethics – problems which are fundamental nowadays. The seventh chapter looks at specific accounting features and other useful indicators that are used for analysing competition. The sixth chapter looks at the economic criteria which are used when investment decisions are made in this sector. The fifth chapter deals with the legal, contractual and fiscal considerations which govern the ways in which income is shared among the various stakeholders involved. The fourth chapter puts forward a detailed analysis of the investments and costs involved in this highly capital-intensive industry. The third chapter looks at the concept of reserves and discusses it, along with the various classifications and modes of assessment involved.
The second chapter adopts a more technical approach and describes the expertise and technologies that are used both in the search for hydrocarbons and in their production. It looks back over the history of this raw material, investigates the changes in its price over the years and the changes in the way in which the whole oil industry has been structured. The first chapter contextualises the role played by oil in a world which is dependent on it, and which shall continue to be dependent on it for a number of years to come. It does so by describing this activity – an activity that is often seen as somewhat mysterious – by looking at all the major themes involved. This book sets out to tackle all aspects of hydrocarbon research and production concisely, but also exhaustively. Thanks to encouragement from IFP Énergies nouvelles and friends in the sector, the project started to take shape and finally got under way. The idea was consistent with one of the missions of the IFP School’s Centre for Economics and Management: to convey information about all aspects of the hydrocarbon economy. It was then that we laid out its aims and devised the plan. We first had the idea for this book in early 1999, when we considered writing about all the economic considerations associated with hydrocarbon exploration and production.
