What Will the New Oil and Gas Sector Management System Be Like?

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c2622b/new_configuration) has announced the addition of the “New Configuration of Political Power and the Oil and Gas Industry Management System” report to their offering.

In spite that Vladimir Putin actually remains the nation’s leader, the system of government decision-making undergoes serious changes. This also affects the oil and gas industry. The importance of the government soars, there appear deputy prime ministers with new functions vested in them, and ministries gain greater influence. This is a different governance concept, for the government and its individual departments have in recent years been rendered less important in their role, with the centre of decision-making shifted to state-run corporations.

What will the new oil and gas sector management system be like? How will structural and staff changes in relevant government departments affect operations in the industry? The answers to these and other questions are given in this new Report.

The new study focuses on the following subjects:

— Division of powers in energy sector management between Putin and Medvedev

Mr Putin retains his status as the number one oil and gas figure

— Putin’s new checks and balances in energy

Mixing of elite clans in the boards of directors of state-run companies and executive agencies
