Industry Dominators
The energy industry is dominated by oilfield service firms, such as
Halliburton and Schlumberger. Exploration and production companies like
Anadarko, Apache, Chesapeake, and Continental make up a large portion
of the industry. Oil field service firms, such as Kinder Morgan, Enbridge,
and pipeline companies like BNSF, largely dominate the midstream sector,
which is processing and distribution.
The Upstream Realm
The companies that explore and produce oil and gas are the ones that
often do the hydraulic fracturing work for the exploration and production
companies. These companies, such as Anadarko, Chesapeake, and
Continental, operate mostly in processing and distribution. They provide
specialized expertise or equipment to aid independent petroleum
producers in increasing production and efficiency.
International Oil Companies
International oil companies are small compared to national oil companies,
which are run and managed by governments around the world. Events
anywhere in the world that affect oil production in one part of the world
affect global oil prices. The companies that control more than 300 billion
barrels of oil equivalent in oil and gas reserves are the big oil and oil
companies, such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP.
Natural Gas Prices
Natural gas prices vary widely from place to place. The shale revolution,
largely due to hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, led to a
substantial increase in natural gas production, which led to lower prices.
The US is the biggest energy event in the last 25 years, and domestic
natural gas production has grown substantially.
LNG Costs
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expensive and cost a lot to produce, and it
costs more to produce than it is for the US to build a pipeline. Supercooling
and super liquefying natural gas are also very expensive. If Japan needs
natural gas right now, it's very costly and needs to be super cooled.
