Fiscal Fitness: How Taxes at Home Help Determine Competitiveness Abroad
The competitive playing field in the international oil and gas business has become more crowded, both with new entrants and the growth of existing players. In the past two decades, the number of companies (excluding national oil companies that do not operate outside their home territories) with production of more than 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day has doubled from 8 to 16. The share of global activity by investor-owned companies (IOC)—measured by oil production, the acreage owned and the number of wells operated by IOCs in the U.S. and elsewhere—has declined in relative terms over the past forty years as National Oil Companies (NOCs) have taken control of their home territories and emerged into the international arena as what are known as “INOCs”—international national oil companies. However, non-U.S.-based companies have fared better in the face of this new competition than their U.S.-based counterparts over the same period, according to a new report by IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates (IHS CERA) undertaken in conjunction with Deloitte, the professional services firm and one of the world’s leading experts on oil and gas taxation.

A Soft Landing, Not a Renaissance: The Future of US Industrial Gas Demand
The sharp decline in US industrial gas demand in 2009 was the latest stage of a gradual but substantial downward trend dating back to the mid-1990s. Although the nascent economic recovery and low gas prices will result in a partial resurgence, in IHS CERA’s view industrial gas demand will not return near the levels of the early 2000s.
IHS CERA Roundtable Conference: Energy Markets and the Economic Recovery
