President Lázaro Cárdenas’ became a national hero in 1938 • Mexiconationalizedthe oilindustry • Pemex was born Resource nationalism has long historic traditions • “I went and I sold my chickens at the market to help pay for the machines that we would need to drill for oil,” she said. • “I was 13 at the time, but even then I understood the significance of our oil and our need to defend it.” • Guadalupe Alvarado Soto, a young orphan did her part
The questions asked in many oil and gas producing countries… • Are we paid a fair value for our resources? • Who should reap most of the windfall gains from increases in energy prices? • Should foreign oil and gas companies get a fair return on their capital, or a supernormal return? • Have the foreign investors fully lived up to their commitments??
Government Take Company Take Total revenues Abandonment Cost ProductionCost Development Cost Exploration Cost Governments looking for more value • More national control • Tougher fiscal terms • Transfer of technology • National industrial policies • Local content • Domestic use of gas • Downstream linkages • Strategic partnerships Government Take Total revenues Company Take ProductionCost Development Cost
Venezuela's oil minister, Rafael Ramirez, is a close ally of President Hugo Chavez Chavez - the driver of the new age of resource nationalism • Chavez has “re-nationalized” the oil industry in Venezuela • Increasing oil taxes and royalties • Changed the contracts with the IOC • The national oil company no longer operates at arm's length from the government. • PDVSA in control and has a central role in the social development programs known as “misiones” • “Oil belongs to the people”
Popular support for nationalization • Limited positive impact from the petroleum resources • Strong national feeling of “being raped” by the foreign oil companies • Renegotiation of export prices and contracts, increased taxes • Brazil and Petrobras is worst affected • Bolivia could be undermining its gas exporting potential
Britain is among the most greedy Mrd dollar
Adding value from local content • Many oil producing countries want more jobs, competence. transfer of technology, more local value creation • They start “Local content programs” • Angola, Nigeria, Algeria, Libya, Brasil, Venezuela, Russia, Kazakhstan, Iran, Saudi Arabia…… • Difficult to implement in a heated market • And few thinks of the pitfalls

West Africa’s doors are still open • West Africa is providing huge opportunities and has become a magnet for the international oil companies • IOCs will invest 50 billion dollars over the next 5 years • The rules of the game have changed beyond recognition • IOCs are meeting competition from national oil companies offering a package of diplomatic, political and economic support in return for oil assets • And smaller independents are moving into untested waters
1972 2005 The Seven Sisters share 53 million barrels per day - total global production More than 80 million barrelsper day current production This used to be real “Big Oil” 2005 The seven sisters: Exxon, Mobil, Gulf, Shell, Chevron, Texaco, BP

NOCs are not IOCs • NOCs have important national goals that go beyond the maximization of return on capital to shareholders • Oil wealth redistribution to society at large • Wealth creation for the nation • Industrialization and economic development • Assurance of domestic fuel supply • NOC’s national priorities may interfere with the firm’s ability to maximize the value of oil resources, • For most NOCs, the aim is not to become a fully commercial company • Replicating Exxon is not an option

The new IOC – NOC relationship • NOCs used to need IOCs investments, capital, management practices and technology • Do they still in a high oil price environment? • IOCs need access to reserves to growth • NOCs have the upper hand • NOCs – IOCs are struggling to find the right partnership • Influenced by past experience – and trust?
The perspective has to be long term • The hydrocarbon sector is seldom just an episode • Petroleum resources may last for generations • But they will never last for ever • Policies have secure sustainable developments • Legislation and regulations should have a long term perspective

How will Ghana handle is new find? • Ghana is continuing to celebrate • The US oil minnow Kosmos Energy has made an oil discovery • President John Kuffour said the discovery could make Ghana an "African tiger". • "Even without oil, we are doing so well... “ • “With oil as a shot in the arm, we're going to fly," he told the BBC. • "My joy is that I'll go down in history as the President under whose watch oil was found to turn the economy of Ghana around for the better"
Requirements in petroleum sector • Petroleum sector legislation • The contractual systems, concession or PSA • The institutional structure and capacity • The role of the ministry • The role of the national oil company • Regulator or not • Local content legislation and regulations • Revenue management systems • Transparency and accountability
Fiscal policy - protect and promote • Fiscal policy has a dual role: • It must protect against excess volatility and overheating • Resource rents must be used to promote development. • Successful countries often concentrate spending on • Physical infrastructure • Building trade capacity • Investing in human capital
Who makes the final decisions? • The roles and responsibilities of the Minister of Oil and the NOC leadership are often unclear • Who should be responsible for negotiating with IOC? • How is the budgets allocated? • Are the results audited and made public? • Clarity of roles is a fundamental governance issue

Pre law 2001 Pertamina filled most roles NOC, a regulator and supervisor Pertamina had the monopoly Downstream Upstream Contracting with IOCs through PCS Pertamina was the custodian Collecting rents on behalf of the government Indonesia changed the NOCs role • Post law 2001 • New regulatory bodies • BP Migas upstream • BHP Migas downstream • Pertamina “just another player” • No monopoly • Custodian role conducted by the regulatory bodies • Pertamina aiming for private shareholders

Civil society is making an impact • Civil society has during the last decade increasingly influence the agenda and the oil companies’ strategy and the financial institutions policy • Environment • Human rights • Corruption • Requiring more oil revenue transparency • Caspian, Nigeria, Angola, Sao Tome, Timor Leste, Chad, Iraq
Independents Indigenous • Nigeria awards blocks to local firms • Often controlled by the elite • Many small independents are going abroad Focus cannot be only on Big Oil • Newcomers are moving in to mature oil areas • They are often ahead of big oil companies in untested provinces • They are less scrutinized and less transparent
The oil curse will not go away • The problem of the oil curse is likely to become even more entrenched - and prominent due to rising oil prices and fierce global competition for the resources • The objective must therefore be to • Help natural resource-rich countries on a democratic path • Consolidate accountable institutions, • Strengthening the capacity of citizens in natural resource-rich societies to monitor and act, • Establishing norms of natural resource revenue transparency globally
The right to know • The public have a right to know how much revenue is being generated, ensuring that its distribution is fair and correct. • Transparency not only removes the cover for corruption, it also allows rapid intervention and builds trust. • Accountability of decision-making provides assurance to society
