Oil & Gas
The choices among asset-intensive vs. asset-light strategies continue to pose challenges to oil and gas companies in finding the optimal path to grow shareholder value. The move by major integrated players to rely on other participants for much of the operations of key value chain activities - e.g., field services, pipeline operations, and retail outlet operations - is changing their business models to become more like oil and gas investors than ever before. The continued rise and consolidation among value chain specialists are also changing value flows among industry participants.
