Petroleum Industry Transformations

<p>Taking the case of the Norwegian petroleum industry as its vantage point, the book discusses the question of industrial transformations in resource-based industries. The book presents new, empirically-based analyses of the development of the petroleum industry, with an emphasis on three ongoing transformation processes:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Technological upgrading and innovation in upstream petroleum.</li> <p> </p> <li>Globalisation of the petroleum industry and suppliers’ experiences of entering foreign markets.</li> <p> </p> <li>Diversification into and out of petroleum – and the potential for new growth paths after oil. </li> </ul><p>Drawing together a range of key thinkers in this field, this volume addresses the ways in which the petroleum industry and its supply industry has changed since the turn of the millennium. It provides recommendations for the development of resource economies in general and petroleum economies in particular.</p><p>This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and economics, natural resource management, innovation studies and the politics of the oil and gas sector.</p> <p>List of Figures</p><p>List of Tables</p><p>List of Contributors</p><p>Acknowledgements</p><p>List of Abbreviations</p><p>Chapter 1 - Transformations in petroleum: Innovation, globalisation and diversification </p><p>By Taran Thune, Ole Andreas Engen and Olav Wicken</p><p>PART I </p><p>Chapter 2 - The evolving sectoral innovation system for upstream oil and gas in Norway </p><p>By Ole Andreas Engen, Erlend Osland Simensen and Taran Thune</p><p>Chapter 3 - Innovation in the petroleum value chain and the role of supply companies </p><p>By Erlend Osland Simensen and Taran Thune </p><p>Chapter 4 - Knowledge networks and innovation among subsea firms </p><p>By Nina Hjertvikrem & Rune Dahl Fitjar </p><p>Chapter 5 - Cost-cutting as an innovation driver among suppliers during an industry downturn</p><p>By Jakoba Sraml Gonzalez </p><p>Chapter 6 - Norwegian rig service industry: Innovations in contractual relations. </p><p>By Petter Osmundsen </p><p>PART II</p><p>Chapter 7 - Born national – going global</p><p>By Helge Ryggvik & Ole Andreas Engen </p><p>Chapter 8 - Norwegian suppliers in Brazil </p><p>By Helge Ryggvik, Ole Andreas Engen and Antonio José Junqueira Botelho</p><p>Chapter 9 - Supply companies and the political economy of platform concepts in the U.S Gulf of Mexico</p><p>By Helge Ryggvik</p><p>Chapter 10 - Steel, Staff and Solutions: Past, present and future prospects for employment in the Norwegian-based petroleum supply industry </p><p>By Atle Blomgren and Christian Quale </p><p>PART III</p><p>Chapter 11- Versatile competences and product market diversification among oil and gas supply firms </p><p>By Taran Thune and Tuukka Mäkitie </p><p>Chapter 12 - Diversification into new markets: Challenges and opportunities for petroleum supply firms </p><p>By Allan Dahl Andersen and Magnus Gulbrandsen </p><p>Chapter 13 - From oil to wind, and back again: Resource redeployment and diversification </p><p>By Tuukka Mäkitie, Taran Thune and Jakoba Sraml Gonzalez </p><p>PART IV</p><p>Chapter 14 - The resource endowment challenge: Extending the value chain </p><p>By Øystein Noreng </p><p>Chapter 15 - Collaborative innovation in the Norwegian oil & gas industry: Surprise or sign of a new economy-wide paradigm? </p><p>By Charles Sabel and Gary Herrigel</p>
