Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill — What Will Be the Impact on the Oil Industry?

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA–(Marketwire – June 16, 2010) – www.rothmanresearch.com — It happened on 20 April 2010 about 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana, the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Close to two months after this disaster, the U.S. government estimates that between 12,000 barrels to 19,000 barrels are still pouring out the deepwater well on a daily basis. All attempts from BP plc to cap the fissured well have failed so far. However, the damage may be even more far reaching as there are growing concerns within the industry that the spill could trigger new sets of tighter regulations that could ultimately raise the cost of drilling in deep water regions. The extent of the damage on the environment is also pushing the U.S. government to look into other alternatives like natural gas and nuclear energy.

Lawmakers in Washington are still debating the steps to take and waiting for all facts to point to a culprit. Whilst BP remains the prime target for the U.S. government’s fury and mainstream media’s attention, investors have also reacted by slamming the stock down by nearly 45% since April 20. The fall in value of BP’s shares opens the door for a number of speculations, many geared towards a possible takeover. However, according to Reuters one potential contender Total SA (NYSE: TOT) stated that bidding for BP in a time of weakness is ‘unethical.’ Even though a takeover is quite unlikely, the odds that it could come to this lies on the time BP takes to fix the leak. The more time means the more financial liabilities incurred, and there is so much a company can take as liability even if the company is as big as BP.

The ‘go-baby-drill’ campaign that was launched at the end of March by the Obama administration seemed to have lost some of its panache. Instead, the oil spill has reopened the natural gas debate chapter as the best alternate energy solution. One company that is already making great strides in the natural gas sphere is EnCana Corp. (NYSE: ECA), so any positive development in favor of natural gas would be a boon for the company’s growth.

“There are a number of uncertainties to where the political aftermath concerning the BP oil spill will lead. But what a majority of the people throughout the market believes is that it will not go as far as the closure of all deep water drillings. This would be an economic disaster that the United States will never risk. There is a strong feeling that new regulations will be imposed and these could boost operational costs for rig operators,” commented Jack Benassi of www.rothmanresearch.com. “Offshore drilling has become a vital component in the bid for the United States to become more autonomous concerning its energy supply.”

Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico Spilling Over the Oil & Gas Industry

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA–(Marketwire – June 16, 2010) – www.rothmanresearch.com — It happened on 20 April 2010 about 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana, the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Close to two months after this calamity, the U.S. government estimates that between 12,000 barrels to 19,000 barrels are still pouring out the deepwater well on a daily basis. All attempts from BP plc (NYSE: BP) to cap the fissured well have failed so far. The company has already incurred expenditures of $1.6 billion which take account of a wide variety of costs varying from the oil spill response to grants and claims paid to the Gulf States and others. Making matters worse, BP’s stock has lost 45% of its value since the Deepwater Horizon explosion. However, the damage may be even more far reaching as there are growing concerns within the industry that the spill could trigger new sets of tighter regulations that could ultimately raise the cost of drilling in deep water regions.

While lawmakers in Washington are still debating the steps to take and waiting for all facts to point to a culprit (BP currently wearing the ‘black sheep’ skin), the ‘go-baby-drill’ campaign that was launched at the end of March by the Obama administration seemed to have lost some of its panache. News early this month indicated that the government is delaying the Virginia offshore oil and gas leases sale. “There are a number of uncertainties to where the political aftermath concerning the BP oil spill will lead. But what a majority of the people throughout the market believes is that it will not go as far as the closure of all deep water drillings. This would be an economic disaster that the United States will never risk.

There are close to 50 offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico run by some of the largest integrated oil and gas players. One of those is Italy’s biggest industrial company, Eni SpA (NYSE: E), which has operations about a few miles away from the Macondo well. Paul Scaroni, CEO of Eni, believes that the oil spill will end up strengthening the position of OPEC which has control over a vast reserve of onshore and shallow waters oil. “If operation costs surge is to be the outcome of the Gulf of Mexico’s oil spill, I can see the logic behind Mr. Scaroni’s thinking,” observed Benassi, senior researcher at www.rothmanresearch.com

Future of Global Cleantech Energy Investing Stabilized by Seven Pillars of Renewable Power, Lead by Activity in the U.S., China, and Europe

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – June 14, 2010) –  SBI Energy, the leading industrial market research firm behind bestselling titles Clean Coal Energy Technologies: Markets and Trends Worldwide and Nuclear Energy Technologies Worldwide: Components and Manufacturing, has added Cleantech Energy Investing to its growing catalog of global reports covering alternative power resources.

Cleantech Energy Investing analyzes the global investment patterns dedicated to developing and commercializing cleantech energy. The report’s scope covers investment growth in seven energy producing technologies (solar, wind, biofuel, hydro, geothermal, nuclear and clean coal) and eleven geographies (the United States, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Japan and Australia). For each technology, the report provides a short technical background, defines market size and growth, and identifies trends and opportunities.

As fossil fuel reserves dwindle, there is a growing need for clean energy supplies. Most clean technologies are sound and are emerging as alternatives to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, investments remain a key growth factor. To compete, clean energy sources must advance to reach the same level of efficiency, maturity and practical use as traditional sources.

In the U.S., solar and wind energy are predicted to be the breakthrough powerhouses of the seven technologies profiled. SBI Energy forecasts domestic investment growth rates for solar energy could easily top 40% over the next four years. Meanwhile, wind energy projects are underway or planned by 79% of utilities in the U.S. within the next five years.

“Clean energy expansion is pegged to energy policy and federal stimulus funds in the U.S. Investment growth rates will increase slowly but steadily driven by both political and consumer pressure associated with the green agenda,” says Jean-Francois Denault, SBI Energy analyst and author of the report.

Globally, Europe is the region expected to generate the steadiest growth. Europe’s overall investments in cleantech — estimated at $50 billion and with a yearly growth of 2%-3% — are expected to continue for the 2010-2014 period.

Meanwhile, Asia’s growth rate in energy consumption is phenomenal. Primary energy demand is expected to grow by almost 76% between 2007 and 2030. Growth in the region is driven mostly by China, India and Japan. In particular, China, as one of the world’s most rapidly growing economies, is at the center of the action in the clean energy industry with goals to invest $22 billion in renewable energy by 2020.

Cleantech in South America is characterized by a potential for rapid growth, but fragile economies have more urgent priorities for the short term meaning most projects in the region are either biofuel-based (as is the case in Brazil) or use established technologies (such as hydro power). Without opportunities for important financial assistance, it is very hard to jumpstart hedgier technologies (such as solar, wave or tidal). While political risks hinder growth, privatization of large assets (such as hydro and nuclear facilities) provides big growth opportunities. SBI Energy expects regional growth in South America will vary substantially from one country to the next.

“What’s Your Company’s Ethical Pulse” Webcast Offered by Aptima and the Human Capital Institute

WOBURN, MA–(Marketwire – June 2, 2010) –  Building an ethical company takes more than printing, posting and praying that a code of conduct will guide employees. Research shows that leaders play a critical role in actively shaping and maintaining an ethical organization, yet before they can prescribe and enforce ethical standards they first need to understand their company’s ethical climate. How can leaders assess the ethical tone of their workplace and build a robust ethical infrastructure? 

Aptima, the R&D firm focused on how people think, learn and behave, and the Human Capital Institute (HCI), a clearinghouse for best practices and new ideas, are partnering on “What’s Your Company’s Ethical Pulse.” Airing live on June 8th and recast through June 10th, the webcast will help leaders gain insights on the ethical environment and norms of employee behavior in their workplace, the pressures and systemic problems that might encourage good people to make bad decisions, and whether workers are rewarded (or punished) as ambassadors of the corporate reputation.

The second in a series of eight quarterly webcasts by HCI and Aptima on ‘Leading Ethical Organizations,’ “What’s Your Company’s Ethical Pulse” will feature Steve Priest, President of the Ethical Leadership Group, a consulting firm that specializes in ethics, values and compliance. Described by the Wall Street Journal as “one of the most sought consultants to keep companies on the straight and narrow,” Mr. Priest has consulted with 25% of the Fortune 200. The Codes of Conduct he has written are required reading for millions of employees around the world.

“What’s Your Company’s Ethical Pulse” will address 1) why it’s important for leaders to understand the ethical atmosphere of their organization, 2) the types of information that come out of assessments, and its value to the leader and the institution, 3) case studies and examples of how to evaluate the climate formally and informally, and how to respond effectively to the results, and 4) when and how often leaders should examine the ethical climate.

What: “What’s Your Company’s Ethical Pulse” webcast
When:  Airs live Tuesday, Jun 08, 2010 at 3:00 pm EDT, and recast five times June 9 – 10, 2010.
For dates and times: http://www.hci.org/lib/whats-your-companys-ethical-pulse
Registration: Open and free to HCI Community Members (http://www.hci.org/membership)

Aptima, sponsor of the “Leading Ethical Organizations” series, will be selecting leaders from top ethical organizations each quarter to present cutting-edge research and organizational best practices for building ethical workplaces. With the growing demand for knowledge and best practices, the series will present ground-breaking organizational research on key leadership behaviors that are critical for reinforcing ethical behavior across the organization.

Aptima delivers programs, workshops, and distance learning software to help train leaders to create ethical climates, lead multi-cultural and multi-national teams, manage virtual and distributed workforces, and develop value-based decision-making skills for complex settings. More on Aptima’s advanced leadership competencies can be found at http://www.Aptima.com/Leadership.
