as a successful global company, r & d is of the essence, including in particular the development of nanotechnologies. socar, along with its oil and gas research and design institute, boasts a nanotechnologies department within the company structure. the fact that most of the oil and gas research and design institute' s world - class research projects have been certified, and that the institute has over 1, 200 inventions in its portfolio, shows that we have already registered strong achievements in r & d. in addition to this, socar' s nanotechnology department holds four related patents. elaborate technologies are being continuously tested on our wells. our science fund is also dedicated to stimulating scientists external to the company to conduct research in our fields of interest. we believe that someday our in - house research has the capacity to contribute not only to the company' s future development, but also to the development of the oil and gas industry worldwide .
digging deeper in its hole noble promised greater transparency but said it would be circumscribed by the need to retain confidentiality over its trading methods because much of this could impact on its ability to conduct business. then executives started deserting the sinking ship and last february nobel was forced to disclose a massive loss. it was then discovered that its net debt amounted to some us $ 3. 7 billion compared with a market capitalisation of just over us $ 1 billion .

pregeant returned several times to the point that if gis were such a bad employer, filipinos would not keep returning to work for the company. the drop in oil prices has slowed demand for the company’s services, he said, and the company now has only 30 filipino workers, but dnr “probably have 500 filipinos ready to come. ”
second, linking performance ratings and compensation in this way ignores recent findings in the cognitive sciences and behavioral economics. the research of nobel laureate daniel kahneman and others suggests that employees may worry excessively about the pay implications of even small differences in ratings, so that the fear of potential losses, however small, should influence behavior twice as much as potential gains do. although this idea is counterintuitive, linking performance with pay can demotivate employees even if the link produces only small net variances in compensation .
the maclure field currently produces 8000 bopd and 4. 3 mmscf / d gas. maclure has been developed as a subsea tieback to the gryphon fpso located 3km to the west and also operated by maersk. maclure oil is comingled with gryphon and exported by shuttle tanker. uptime is best - in - class in the north sea, with low unit operating costs .

like its neighbours, norway wants to occupy upmarket niches and sell its expertise to the rest of the world. its government created statoil out of nothing by compelling private oil companies to hand over some of their expertise in return for their contracts and by building on the country’s established skills in shipping. it badgered the company to innovate by taxing profits heavily but providing generous tax relief on r & d spending .
in april a new world - scale bio - acrylamide production facility was commissioned at our site in bradford. this major investment will help to ensure the long term future of one of the uk’s largest chemical manufacturing facilities, which employs around 600 people. bradford is a basf production hub for polyacrylamides, used as water - soluble flocculation aids in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment, enhanced oil recovery, mineral processing and papermaking .
among the multiple agencies that regulate the offshore oil and gas industry, no one in government seems to have noticed that hundreds of filipino workers were being systematically mistreated, forced to live in inhumane conditions, discouraged from following their industry’s safety practices, and denied appropriate medical care. while president obama applauded splitting the mms into three agencies, critics argued the separation would enable the agencies to pass the buck when it came to difficult regulating issues. like, say, human trafficking .
azerbaijan’s oil and gas industries have advanced significantly since the regaining of independence. in the early 1990s, foreign companies began looking to invest in a country evidently rich in hydrocarbon resources and it now has a large say in global energy discussions. it is also the richest country in the south caucasus, increasingly able to influence political processes in the region. many analysts and politicians accept that energy is a key factor in any resolution of the region’s most complicated problem – nagorno - karabakh .

as pregeant tells it, filipino workers let gis know its recruiters in the philippines were taking advantage of them. “i didn’t like that, ” he said. “so we…found our own recruiting company. ” in 2009, malagapo and dayao founded dnr offshore crewing services inc. the group served as the philippines - based manpower provider for, and acted in concert with, the galliano - based labor recruitment company d & r resources to bring filipino workers into the u. s. dayao and malagapo together also owned 50 percent of d & r; the other 50 percent was owned by thunder enterprises. four of that company’s five owners were members of the pregeant family .
norway is now the world’s deep - sea drilling capital. statoil is a leading global company in its own right as well as being at the centre of an elaborate network that includes norwegian companies such as aker solutions and kongsberg maritime and the deep - sea divisions of foreign oil companies such as schlumberger. norwegian companies have learned how to drill horizontally as well as vertically. they have also cut the cost of exploratory drilling by developing technologies for mobile rigs that allows them to be kept steady in rough weather. the demand for this expertise is booming .
norway is the odd man out in the nordics. while its neighbours are flirting with free markets, norway is embracing state capitalism. its national oil champion, statoil, is the largest company in the region. the norwegian state owns large stakes in telenor, the country’s biggest telephone operator, norsk hydro, its biggest aluminium producer, yara, its biggest fertiliser - maker, and dnbnor, its biggest bank. it holds 37% of the oslo stockmarket, but it also controls some non - listed giants such as statkraft, a power - generator, which if listed would be the third - biggest company on the stockmarket .
pregeant said he was introduced to filipino guest workers in july 2004 on a gis job in nigeria. he was impressed: “they speak english, they work very safe, and the quality of their work is outstanding. ” randolf malagapo and another filipino, danilo dayao, were in charge of looking after the men, and pregeant formed a connection with the two. gis finished the nigeria project around june 2005; in august, katrina struck, damaging oil platforms around the gulf, and the company had jobs to fill. “there was no labor to be found in southern louisiana, ” said pregeant, “so we reached out to the same people who had those filipinos. ”
huck added: “this acquisition is a perfect fit with our growth strategy and an important addition to our existing portfolio in azerbaijan and north america. ”
“we see further potential in the field and consider it a best - in - class north sea opportunity. ”
