The economic relevance of oil and gas Specific challenges of NOCs Objectives of the study Progress to date Next steps Conclusion
The growing importance of NOCs NOCs control access to the majority of resources for future oil/gas production. Russian companies 6% IOCs 6% Access to reserves through NOCs 11% Proven Oil and Gas Reserves Source: PFC Energy NOCs exclusive control 77% Their importance has been steadily growing
The role of NOCs in creating value Vary widely and may include one or more of the following: Maximizing national hydrocarbon wealth Promoting economic development Promoting the political interests of the state abroad.
To improve the understanding of the petroleum sector value chain and of the policy options that are best suited to maximize the benefits to the government at each link of the chain. To this end, the Study will: Objectives of the Study seek to determine the factors that influence the creation of value by a NOC, and assess their relative importance develop a reference framework for the creation and the effective and efficient management and oversight of a NOC (experience of existing NOCs, advances in SOEs governance, benchmarking,..) Expected completion: June 2010.
Outline of the Study The petroleum sector s value chain. Overview of the political and economic arguments in favor of and against the establishment of an NOC. Overview of advances in SOEs governance around the world. Case studies on a sample of NOCs. Lessons learnt: policy options for the management and oversight of the petroleum sector. Reference framework for the creation and the effective and efficient management and oversight of an NOC.

Slide 9 m3 Do we want to imply extensive consultation with NOCs? Isn't that more for the next phase? mferrell, 02/12/2009
The Citizen s Guide: General Observations Limited reporting and quality of reporting Best for NOCs with some public shares (domestic and/or international listings) Cost structures vary widely across NOCs Large fiscal contributions to sovereign governments; some NOCs have to borrow Affects NOC s reserve replacement and production May create disincentives to commercialization Even NOCs with some public shares carry large numbers of employees Part of their social mission
Reporting Varies Widely Among NOCs Some of the major NOCs around the world do not publish financial reports Public listings of debt and/or equity encourage NOCs to adopt best practices with regard to reporting, credible auditing, and public access to information The uneven quality and quantity of information makes it difficult to analyze and compare NOCs performance. More importantly, it may be a disincentive to good performance (benchmarks vs. publicly disclosed benchmarks)

Slide 12 m6 m7 m13 Michelle This is essentially a 3 year reserve replacement cost plus ave. annual production costs (incl. upstream G&A, DDA) right? Picky point but I wouldn't call them "upstream expenses" on the bottom of the graph it implys something expensed on an annual basis which RRC isn't (it works its way into the annual expense via DDA). I'd say "upstream costs". mferrell, 02/12/2009 I don't think the $18.38 is the comparable number. Rather it should be 2006 direct lifting costs (which don't include production taxes) of $5.96 plus 3 yr. 04 06 RRC of $17.23 for $23.19. The EIA numbers also exclude from RRC acquisitions of proved reserves where the NOC numbers include them. mferrell, 02/12/2009 Might want to show a separate chart on RRC to make the point that many NOCs are pretty good producers/exploiters but there is substantial variation when it comes to the exploration metrics (RRC and reserve replacement rate). mferrell, 02/12/2009
m8 National Oil Companies and Value Creation Fiscal Contribution to the State Note: Sum of all tax and nontax disbursements to state relative to revenue
Slide 13 m8 I'd get rid of the obvious outliers to avoid some of the distracting discussion we had at the annual meeting. Also add notes explaining what this is: Total taxes, royalties, dividends, sign. bonuses, direct social/eco. expend., estimated price subsidies as percentage of total revenue. mferrell, 02/12/2009

Slide 19 m11 I'd get rid of the outlier (So. Africa) it distorts the scale so much that you can't see the RRR variation among the others. Also say what "average overall score" is I'm assuming it's the ave. overall CF score (the 8 groupings). Might want to say something about in next phase of work we will be looking at each CF more closely to see which ones have the strongest correlation with value creation. mferrell, 02/12/2009

NOC Performance: Implications Tax regimes and debt levels may threaten financial sustainability Some of the domestic commercial frameworks enabling the performance of the publicly traded NOCs may serve as models for other NOCs Additional and/or new equity issuances by existing or new partially privatized NOCs Global credit and credit risk trends for new issues Impact of financial market turmoil plus falling commodity prices on NOC viability Implications for FDI and global oil supply and deliverability
Strategic Considerations Going Forward For NOCs engaged in outbound investment: How well do they perform? What issues do they face? NOC governance structures Organization of sovereign ownership and control Balancing sovereign/shareholder investors for partial offerings (or transition to public ownership) Establishing and asserting independent regulatory oversight
NOC Modernization A few observations: Reporting gains rewards in international credit markets Capacity building for more sophisticated reporting Governance structures to support new initiatives (NOC partnerships) Strategy for shedding non commercial obligations to other government functions Project management skill to implement new initiatives and oversee complex partnerships Improved image meaningful stakeholder engagement
Some of the Questions that We are Trying to Answer Are certain institutional and regulatory arrangements more suited than others for maximizing the social net present value of economic rent? Are NOCs effective in achieving the objective of the state s hydrocarbon and macro fiscal policy? What can the state do to promote NOCs effectiveness and sustainability? Is there a role for IFIs? Can good quality reporting improve NOCs performance?
possible incentive to modernization Will the current financial crises be a catalyst for a joint effort? Many NOCs are looking for ways to fund their operations (including JVs and alliances, risk management, improved efficiency, better governance and benchmarking to attract external capital); IOCs are interested in building more effective and "stable" alliances with NOCs; Governments in producing countries are interested in improving the efficiency of their NOCs, maximizing rent capture, while supporting sustainable development of the sector; and IFIs are keen to strengthen governance and the efficient use of resources.
Next Steps for Our Research Project Refine the methodology, particularly cross sectional analysis and benchmarking Select a representative group of NOCs for in depth analysis Propose policy options for the management and oversight of the petroleum sector building on findings from the case studies Develop a reference framework for creation, effective and efficient management and oversight of an NOC The success of the study, and its helpfulness to our member countries, depends crucially on the quality and availability of information.
