6. 1. Threat of New Entrants
2. Power of Suppliers
3. Power of Buyers
4. Availability of Substitutes
5. Competitive Rivalry

7. 1. THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS
 There is thousands of oil and oil services
companies throughout the world, but the barriers to
enter this industry are enough to scare away all but
the serious companies. Barriers can vary
depending on the area of the market in which the
company is situated
 Need Ample cash
 Need specialized worker

8. 2. P OWER OF S UPPLIERS
 While there are plenty of oil companies in the
world, much of the oil and gas business is
dominated by a small handful of powerful
companies.

9. 3. POWER OF BUYERS.
 The balance of power is shifting toward
buyers. Oil is a commodity and one
company's oil or oil drilling services are
not that much different from another's.
This leads buyers to seek lower prices and
better contract terms

10. 4. AVAILABILITY OF SUBSTITUTES
 Substitutesfor the oil industry in general
include alternative fuels such as coal, gas,
solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity
and even nuclear energy.

11. 5. COMPETITIVE RIVALRY
 Slow industry growth rates and high exit barriers
are a particularly troublesome situation facing by
firms.
 At the same time, exit barriers in the refinery
business are quite high.
 Besides the scrap value of the equipment, a
refinery that does not operate has no value-adding
capability.
