Nach einem eher verhaltenen Jahr 2013 nahmen 2014 M&A-Transaktionen in der Öl- und Gasindustrie deutlich zu. Angesichts des weiter sinkenden Ölpreises und der Entscheidung der OPEC gegen eine Drosselung der Fördermengen werden 2015 noch intensivere M&A-Aktivitäten in der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette stattfinden. Diese strategischen Deals sind für die Unternehmen wichtig, um Wertzuwächse zu erzielen, sich für kommende Marktturbulenzen zu rüsten und die Wettbewerbslandschaft zu ihren Gunsten zu formen.
Uber consulting firm Deloitte's regular mid-year update/analysis of oil & gas mergers and acquisitions. There were 299 deals in the first half of 2014, with 61% of those deals involving U.S. and Canadian companies. The report provides a high level view of what's happening by each major energy sector (upstream, midstream, downstream). It's no surprise that shale continues to dominate the energy picture in 2014.

For much of the last decade through 2014, the U.S. energy sector expe¬rienced a bull market sustained by debt-financed drilling programs in emerging unconventional plays and supported by elevated commodity prices. U.S. E&P players, particularly the emerging universe of indepen¬dent unconventional operators, required an array of capital-intensive services that led to a boom in the services industry as well: rigs to handle development drilling; engineering services to handle geological surveys; logistics/infrastructure services to gather, transport, and store various hydrocarbons; and refitting of refineries to process increasing volumes of light oil. This wave of capital spending led to innovation in drilling and fracking technology, taking US production from about 6 million b/d to over 9 million b/d and marking the reversal of a decades-long decline in U.S. domestic oil production.

Oil & Gas ICT Leader 2017 - Day 1 April 19th Ray Bugg
The industry is changing: against a challenging backdrop with a ‘lower for longer’ economic forecast, Oil & Gas companies are turning to technology to modernise and improve their operations. This transformation has seen IT repositioned as a core business technology, drawn from a background support function to a crucial centre of value creation and innovation. This tectonic shift places IT leaders in a vital position within their organisation, ensuring existing assets and emerging technology are effectively harnessed to deliver tangible business outcomes.
Cost reduction is still the primary mandate for most organisations, with ongoing efforts to strip back overheads and address key areas of inefficiency to cope with tightening budgetary restraints. But while the pursuit of ‘more for less’ has become a fundamental necessity, it is important that the strategy employs sufficient safeguards to avoid stifling long term progress. Organisations need to retain the personnel, the skills and the tools to ensure they still have the capacity to innovate.
One of the most prevalent trends of recent years has been a concerted move towards greater automation. Organisations are increasingly incorporating sensors, robotics and live data feeds to enhanced remote operations. But this digitisation of process is not just taking place in far flung fields; across the operation, digital technologies are being applied to enable improved visibility and insight. And data analytics is increasingly being used to evaluate asset performance, and enhance predictability, forecasting and decision making.
Whilst operators have made strides to address inefficiencies and create faster, more agile processes, there are still several barriers to progress. Organisations need to adapt their structure, break down internal silos and allow more cohesive and collaborative engagement. This collaboration also needs to extend to the wider supply chain and external partners across the industry. Skills and leadership is also a key barrier to progress, while cultural inertia still poses a problem for the industry and needs to be tackled head-on if digital transformation ambitions are to be achieved.
This conference will bring together IT leaders from across the world for knowledge exchange, thought leadership and collaboration. Now in its 4th year, the conference has established itself as the must-attend event for IT leaders working in Oil & Gas. The programme will explore the use of Information Technology in driving tangible business benefits, with topics spanning: data analytics, cloud, cyber security, automation, leadership and culture.

It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.

10 : BoyarMiller Energy Practice Leaders
FRIENDS,
We have enjoyed bringing together remarkable leaders
from the energy world at our BoyarMiller Energy Breakfast
Forum for more than a decade. With the World Energy
Congress returning to Houston in 2020, our city is perfectly
positioned to take center stage well into the 21st century.
The intention of the breakfast forums is to inform, share
and explore the best and the brightest strategies as
the energy industry rebounds. This edition of our ebook
encapsulates what’s happening on the front lines of the
2018 global energy landscape by looking forward at how
solar and new battery storage initiatives enhance alter-
native energy resources. We heard firsthand about how
the energy industry is one of the most innovative and
competitive in terms of technology. In a recent Bloomberg
article, Kevin Crowley and Javier Blas note the rising
importance of robotics to screw lengths of pipe together,
saving seconds each time drill pipes are linked. Those
seconds translate into millions in cost savings across
Chevron’s huge operation.
Our panel also shared how OPEC has impacted prices
and the excitement in oilfield services as it supports
healthy and robust completion-oriented businesses.
We thank Paul Perea of Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.,
John Berger of Sunnova Energy and Sanjiv Shah of
Simmons & Company International for their time
and insights.
Feel free to forward the ebook to others who would
find this knowledge of value. Please let us know how
we can help you accomplish your goals.
My best,

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE FORUM
3. Part of the mystique of the oil
business is that thrill a wildcatter
knows and fortunately, we heard
many more success stories this year.
We learned that those layers of oil-
soaked rock in the Permian have
surpassed expectations, creating
greater opportunities for sharing
resources and amplifying profits
through M&A and consolidations.
New technologies have opened
the door for cost savings and more
efficient production in large-scale
pure plays, all of which will steer this
rebound safely to steady growth.
A major factor in the cost realm
has been the controlled reduction
in oil output by major producers,
plus military activity in politically
unstable areas.

“Given the shale revolution,
we’re seeing a big ramp up in
demand. There’s long visibility
on cheap gas prices. This has
driven a lot of industrial back
to the U.S. producing at an
all-time high in the Permian.”

“The Permian continues to be
a key part of the conversation.
There has been a lot of antici-
pation around consolidation
in the Permian and the form
that will take. This points to
more corporate transactions,
but how many more of those
we will see is difficult to predict
in light of the myriad issues that
come into play in those types
of transactions.”

As part of its ongoing breakfast series, BoyarMiller invited industry experts
for a panel discussion highlighting shale importance to market dynamics,
and how consolidations and technologies build efficiencies.

“We’ve had a nice pickup in oil price since the beginning of the year that’s
been driven by a combination of OPEC compliance and geopolitical
tensions in Syria and elsewhere. I think the ability for quick supply responses
from shale plays and OPEC will dampen and mitigate any material price
spikes. OPEC is controlling the price to prevent any price inflation.”
• Current oil price is good for Saudi—much better than it has
been in the last couple of years. We don’t foresee any rocket
ship back to $100/bbl absent a major geopolitical event.
• Oilfield service issuers have definitely increased materially.
We had seven IPOs in the oilfield services sector in 2017—
that was an all-time record, and now we have had five IPOs
in January and February of this year. There are three or four
companies on file publicly and many others are on file con-
fidentially. The difference between oilfield services and the
EP and midstream sectors is lack of alternative financing
other than going public.
• We are seeing smaller MA, step-out MA, and add-ons
get done, mostly from energy-focused private equity firms.
Generalist funds that do one or two deals, and bank lend-
ing markets, are basically closed to the oilfield markets.
• On the capital markets side, while we have seen issuance
activity, the OSX index that tracks oilfield service large caps
is currently trading just a little higher than it was in February
2016, so a 2.5x increase in oil prices during that timeframe
has led to very little response in public equity prices.
• Given the shale revolution, we’re seeing a significant
improvement in demand. There’s long visibility on cheap
gas prices. This has driven a lot of industrial back to the
U.S. producing at an all-time high in the Permian, but that
doesn’t mean solar doesn’t have a place for residential use.
• We’ve seen heavy IPO discounts, ranging from 30–50
percent compared to 15 percent in a more normalized
market. The alternative for that is to try and sell the com-
pany and there are simply no buyers above even heavily
discounted IPO valuations. We hope that we’ll see some
consolidation moving forward, but really it’s a function of
buy vs. build economics and a lot of the older equipment
not being fit to use.

• Be on the lookout for the administration to subsidize
coal and nuclear power plants. There is a very Byzantine
structure regulatory wise because the federal government
doesn’t have a lot of power. The states do. We want a
competitive power market, so will continue to advocate
for an open market approach.
• Solar panel pricing has gone down 95 percent in costs.
Incremental technologies have gotten the pricing down
and increased the efficiency. The panels I put on my house
ten years ago were $5.50 a watt; the ones I put on last year
are roughly 40 cents a watt. Battery storage innovations
are expected to come in and have that same result in
the favorable price decline.
• Competition and consumer choice must provide the
bedrock for a 21st century energy system. For too long,
the power industry has been reliant upon an outdated
system of centralization, subsidies and monopolies. But
consumers are starting to demand more from their energy
providers: more options, more flexibility, more service and
lower costs.
• While traditional oil shows no signs of going away, alterna-
tive energy forms like solar have clearly demonstrated they
are becoming a big part of the power grid, sooner than
some expected.

“There have been three big game-changers in the energy industry and
Houston was fortunate to be effectively ground zero for the first, which
was fracking. The second one is solar, and now solar is looking for a storage
medium and you can see that happening with solar plus battery storage
solutions as the third technology change. These technological changes
are important to pay attention to as I would love to see Houston maintain
its status as the energy capital of the world.”

• The challenged capital markets have created an
environment that is ripe for both shareholder activism
and (friendly) private equity and alternative capital
investing. There has been a big inflow of new ‘technol-
ogy’ when it comes to investing.
• We’ve been involved in several situations as well as
opportunities for alternative capital of all shapes and
sizes, from straight private equity to structured products.
There is a lot of opportunity at the asset level.
• The recently announced RSP-Concho combination,
which will create a $35 billion Permian company, is a
prime example of the current Permian consolidation.
• If you compared a map of the Permian basin today
to a few years ago, you would see that the number of
opportunities to acquire ‘blocky’ positions in asset trans-
actions or from private sellers is down significantly. This
points to more corporate transactions, but how many
more of those we will see is difficult to predict in light
of the myriad issues that come into play in those types
of transactions.
• While OPEC is influential in the price of oil, OPEC’s power
is becoming considerably reduced which should keep
prices level. We do see Saudi playing the long game
with its presence in the Gulf Coast— it needs to diversify
to play the long game.
• The United States is now the world’s second largest oil
producer behind only Russia. Thanks to fracking and the
viability of sources on U.S. land, the oil business is on an
unmistakable rebound, now producing more than double
what it produced in 2008, more than 10 million barrels of
crude a day.

“Our transactional business is good across the three subsectors – upstream,
downstream and the oilfield services space. Broader energy MA volumes
are strong and have been high since 2016. Despite these factors, the up-
stream and midstream capital markets are quite dislocated and have not
tracked the performance of commodity prices.”

8. At the BoyarMiller Energy Forum,
Sanjiv Shah, managing director
of Simmons Company Interna-
tional, Energy Specialists of Piper
Jaffray, spoke about the pickup
in oil prices since the beginning
of the year.
That pickup, in turn, has begun to “stimulate pretty
significant upstream oil and gas hiring,” according to
Karr Ingham, Texas oil economist. Although the general
expectation for Houston is for energy employment to be
flat in 2018, the flatness will be the result of increased
hiring in oilfield services coupled with layoffs in EP
and equipment manufacturing, according to the 2018
Houston Employment Forecast by the Greater Houston
Partnership (GHP).
Any increased movement of employees in the energy
sector means that the steps that employers and employees
take when hiring, firing, and transitioning employment
will become increasingly important as parties seek to
protect their rights while avoiding litigation when and
where possible.
Asking the right questions from the beginning can help
employers and employees amicably separate, avoid
costly fights, and achieve peace of mind. Some of the
questions we recommend to our clients are:
FOR EMPLOYERS TERMINATING EMPLOYEES
• Do you have a plan in place to remind the terminated
employee of any post-employment obligations, such as
non-competition, non-solicitation, and/or non-disclosure
obligations?
–– Do you have a standard exit interview process during
which you require the employee to sign an acknowl-
edgment of such obligations?
• Do you have a process for collecting any devices provided
to the employee, such as laptops or cell phones?
–– Do you have the ability to review the devices to
determine if any information was downloaded to
an external storage device prior to the employee’s
termination?
• If the employee uses his or her own devices, do you
have an agreement in place to allow you to review
those devices and remove any information from them?
–– Do you have an understanding of what might be
removed? Will you remove the employee’s contacts
from his/her phone? Do you consider such information
to be confidential, or is it the general knowledge
acquired by the employee during his/her employment?
–– Have you decided whether you want the employee
to return information, or is it acceptable for the
employee to destroy any information in his/her
possession?

9. Likewise, with employees accessing their employers’
electronic information at home, on their personal
devices, and/or remotely on company-issued devices,
an employee can often have significant amounts of
company information on external devices or in personal
emails that poses an unintended threat if not returned
to the company upon the termination of employment.
There is no “one size fits all” approach to hiring, firing,
and transitioning employment. More likely, employers
and employees will make mistakes – often unintentionally
– when handling these issues. Yet the more proactive
and transparent you can be, the greater the likelihood
that an employer and employee can amicably separate
without the threat or need of subsequent litigation.
FOR EMPLOYEES SEEKING A NEW JOB
• Have you made sure to avoid taking any of your former
employer’s information, especially any confidential
information – whether unknowingly kept in personal
emails or random USB devices?
• Have you made sure to avoid telling your customers
or co-workers about your new employment opportunity –
especially if you are going to a competitor and
discussing possible opportunities to work together
when you begin your new job?
• Have you disclosed any post-employment obligations
to your prospective employer?
–– Do you have an agreement with your prospective
employer to defend you in the event of a lawsuit?
FOR EMPLOYERS SEEKING TO HIRE
• Have you required new employees to confirm they do
not have any agreements that would restrict their potential
employment?
• Have you required new employees to confirm that they
are not bringing any confidential information from a
prior employer?
–– If the former employer threatens a lawsuit against
the former employee for violating his/her post-
employment restrictive covenants, are you going
to continue with the employment offer?
–– Do you have exposure to a claim by the former
employer for tortuous interference, meaning you
interfered with the former employee’s compliance
with his/her agreement with the former employer?
These questions may be more important than ever. Today,
employers are faced with the fact that an employee has
access to (and the ability to take) tremendous amounts
of electronic information when leaving the company.
And, once the genie is out of the bottle, it is nearly
impossible to ever know with certainty that you have
recovered all of it.
