Scenario:
A large oil company, "Global Energy," is planning to develop a new oil field in the North Sea. They are considering different participation models to finance and operate the project.
Task:
**Possible Models:** * **Production Sharing Agreement (PSA):** Global Energy could partner with the government, which would likely have a state-owned oil company. Global Energy would handle exploration and development, while the government would take a share of the production as its participation. * **Advantages:** Access to oil resources, potentially lower investment risk due to shared financial burden. * **Disadvantages:** Shared profits with the government, potential for complex regulations and political influence. * **Impact on the Government:** Increased revenue from oil production, enhanced energy security, but also potential dependence on Global Energy. * **Joint Venture (JV):** Global Energy could partner with another oil company, possibly a smaller company with expertise in North Sea operations. Both companies would share the financial burden, risk, and profits proportionally to their participation. * **Advantages:** Shared expertise and resources, reduced risk, potential for faster development. * **Disadvantages:** Potential disagreements between partners, need for strong coordination and communication. * **Impact on the Government:** Less direct involvement, but potentially benefits from increased economic activity and employment in the area.
