The document discusses several news articles about developments in the energy sectors of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Bangladesh:
1) Moody's predicts that a large oil discovery off the coast of Bahrain could stimulate private investment if proven economically viable, help reduce Bahrain's budget deficit by increasing oil revenue, and benefit Bahrain's current account which has seen deficits in recent years.
2) Saudi Arabia received four bids for its first 400MW wind project which is expected to be awarded in June, as the country works to develop 9.5GW of renewables by 2023 and reduce oil burning for domestic power.
3) Oman Oil Marketing Company plans to open its first large service station in Saudi Arabia
- Saudi Aramco is preparing to award contracts to develop shale gas reserves in three basins in Saudi Arabia through pilot projects involving hydraulic fracturing techniques. This is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to boost its natural gas production and convert crude oil consumed domestically into gas.
- Saudi Aramco has identified the Empty Quarter in the south, South Ghawar in Eastern Province, and Al-Jalamid in the north as having significant shale gas reserves. Front end engineering and design contracts will be awarded to develop these reserves, with the first shale gas production targeted for 2018.
- Stork Oryx JV has won a seven-year contract from Qatar Shell to overhaul rotating equipment at Qatar Shell's

Honeywell and Vedanta both implement e-procurement systems but differ in their approaches. Honeywell uses the SAP ERP system which provides high security, reliability and organization but has a more complex and time-consuming process. In contrast, Vedanta uses a simpler file-sharing approach on a common network drive which has lower costs and complexity but also less security and organization. The appropriate system depends on factors like the business nature, resources, and ability to accept changes.

PURCHASING PROCEDURES, E-PROCUREMENT, AND SYSTEM CONTRACTING pter 007 instru...Zamri Yahya
The chapter discusses purchasing procedures, e-purchasing, and systems contracting. It identifies the typical steps in the conventional purchasing cycle as requisitioning materials, determining suppliers, issuing purchase orders, expediting deliveries, receiving materials, and processing invoices. E-purchasing can reduce costs for indirect materials like office supplies through electronic ordering and reverse auctions. However, direct materials purchasing requires close supplier relationships not suited for e-procurement. Electronic data interchange (EDI) allows electronic transmission of orders and invoices but implementation requires overcoming resistance to change.

Key Drivers and Challenges of Oil and Gas Industry Development in AfricaEugene Nizeyimana
Africa is home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies, many of them buoyed by new oil and gas finds, including Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Ghana. The region is also home to what could be game-changer reserves for the industry. Even though global petroleum commodity price is presently projected to moderate in 2014 from last year, is expected to remain more than 75% higher than in 2013. As a result, Africa’s key oil producing countries are expected to continue to list amongst the fastest expanding on the continent.
