MARKET ANALYSIS OF
OIL AND GAS SECTOR
ROYAL DUTCH SHELL CORPORATION -
LOGISTICS
Pramod Philip John 14MBA1039
Abstract The national oil companies hold over 80% of the worlds reserves while the major private firms like Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil, BP etc hold very few reserves. There is a difficulty to analyse the market share of the state owned firms because they are not listed publicly in stock exchanges. Market Share is done on the top companies which are publicly listed and have annual reports. SINOPEC from China has the highest revenue return in the year 2013. Capital/Labour Ratio is highest for Total SA from France. Special study is done on the logistics division of Royal Dutch Shell Corporation. Also a Weka forecast is done for 10 days for the same company based on its closing price.

INTRODUCTION TO OIL AND GAS SECTOR
The Oil and Gas sector or in other words the petroleum industry is responsible for the exploration,
extracting, transportation and refining of petroleum products. The largest volume products of the
industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum (oil) is also the raw material for
many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.
Petroleum is vital to many industries, and is of importance to the maintenance of
industrial civilization in its current configuration, and thus is a critical concern for many nations.
Oil accounts for a large percentage of the world’s energy consumption, ranging from a low of 32%
for Europe and Asia, to a high of 53% for the Middle East.
Other geographic regions’ consumption patterns are as follows: South and Central
America (44%), Africa (41%), and North America (40%). The world consumes 30
billion barrels (4.8 km³) of oil per year, with developed nations being the largest consumers.
The industry is divided into three major categories :- upstream, midstream and downstream.
Midstream operations are usually included in the downstream category.
UPSTREAM :- Upstream is the part of the oil production process that focuses on locating and
recovering crude oil and natural gas. Those in the upstream sector are focused on locating
underground and underwater oil fields.
MIDDLESTREAM: - When oil is drilled from a location where it is originally discovered, the
oil must be stored, marketed and transported. This aspect of petroleum production is known as
midstream. Petroleum is marketed as a commodity at this point.
The point where upstream ends and midstream begins is at the gathering system. This system
collects wet natural gas and petroleum and begins the transportation process to the gas processing
plant. While some gas processing occurs near the point where the gasoline is extracted, in other
cases, the midstream process involves the transportation of wet gasoline through pipelines. In
many cases, midstream is considered a part of the downstream process.
In some of the largest distribution networks, enormous cargo ships are responsible for transporting
oil across multiple oceans.
DOWNSTREAM :- The downstream sector focuses on the process of refining crude oil to create
different products, including gasoline, petroleum gas, jet fuel and diesel fuel. Additionally, there
are numerous products that are not fuels at all, including pesticides, antifreeze, synthetic rubber,
plastics and pharmaceuticals. All of these products are created and distributed through the
downstream sector.
The following table shows the supply done by various countries in terms of millions of barrels of
oil.
Saudi Arabia produces the largest quantity with 9.75 million barrels of per day followed by Iraq,
Iran and then UAE. Among the OECD USA produces the largest with 11.48 and among the Non
–OECD’s Russia produces the largest with 10.76 million barrels per day.
OIL COMPANIES ALL OVER THE WORLD
There are generally two types of companies based on the ownership.
Private owned
State owned
Privately held companies have the goal of maximizing shareholder value. The management of the
company may accomplish that goal through organizing production so that a profit is made in the
current time frame as well as in the future.They also might make investment decisions to take
advantage of opportunities to raise the company’s rate of return. They also have the motivation to
achieve productive efficiency to hold down costs to enhance the profitability of any given revenue
level. This activity is thought to benefit consumers by assuring that physical shortages are avoided
and that the good is available at the lowest price consistent with demand and supply factors.
In the oil industry, maximization of shareholder value is taken to mean that the value of oil
resources should be maximized through managing production, exploration, and development
activities to assure a functioning market.
National oil companies do not necessarily follow the shareholder value maximization model alone.
Since these companies are totally, or majority, owned by their national governments, maximizing
the value of the company might have to compete with other, governmentally mandated objectives.
Although all national oil companies respond to their national governments to one degree or
another, the amount of influence varies widely. The national oil companies of more developed
nations, Statoil in Norway, and Petronas in Malaysia, for example, tend to follow a more
commercially oriented strategy than the Nigerian National Petroleum Co. And Petroleos de
Venezuela, where government objectives largely supplant commercial objectives, and the
companies are under pressure to maximize the flow of funds to the national treasuries.
The national oil companies use the revenue from the oil industry for the following :-
Wealth Distribution
Job Opportunities
Economic Development
Foreign Policy
Energy Security
The oil produced by the "supermajor" companies accounts for less than 15% of the total world
supply.
Over 80% of the world's reserves of oil and natural gas are controlled by national oil companies.
Of the world's 20 largest companies, 15 are state-owned companies.
This figure shows the world reserves of oil held by different countries. It is understood that the
national owned companies hold more than 80% of the worlds reserves. Saudi Aramco tops the list.
The private sector which includes companies like BP, Royal Dutch Shell Corporation , Total SA
etc hold just the remaining % of the reserves.
For this study only information of the private owned and few state owned companies were taken
because the state owned firms usually do not list on any of the stock exchanges.
MARKET SHARE ANALYSIS
Market Share values are taken from the Annual Reports and also from NYSE listings of the firms.
The national oil companies especially from the Middle East do not feature in this list because they
are not listed in any stock exchanges. Few private oil firms and also national oil firms and their
data are tabulated below

The table shows that Sinopec from China has the largest revenue for the year ending 2013 with
469,052 millions of dollars followed by Royal Dutch Shell with 451,235 millions of dollars and
Exxon Mobil with 420,836.Number of employees is notably highest for Petrochina with 544,000
followed by Gazprom and Sinopec. All three have the number of employees much higher than the
others because they are state owned and they tend to provide more job opportunities and increase
employment. Total SA from France has the highest Capital/ Labour Ratio i.e the firm invests a lot
in building new infrastructure. It has high capital expenditure with comparatively less employee
intake.
The market share of these 11 companies is plotted based on their revenues.
Sinopec comes on top with 15% closely followed by Royal Dutch Shell with 14% and Exxon
Mobil with 13%.
The chart below is a comparitive chat of total turnover and the number of employees in the firms
tabulated
PetroChina, Gazprom and Sinopec have the highest number of employees in descending order and
this is because the cost of labour is cheap in the countries where they operate i.e China and Russia
and also these companies look to create more employment for the citizens of their respective
countries.
CAPITAL LABOUR RATIO
It measures the ratio of cpital employed to the number of employees in a firm. So a company with
higher capital/labour ratio recruits less employees and are focussed more in improving productivity
through using better equipment and machinery to replace human work. This is why most
international oil companies like Total SA, Chevron, Exxon Mobil all have high capital/ labour
ratios. On the other hand the state owned firms like PetroChina, Gazpromand Sinopec have very
low values of the same because they employee more workers even though they maintain similar
capital expenditure when compared to the international oil companies.
The graph below shows the capital labour ratio of the 11 companies.
Total SA from France holds the highest capital/labour ratio. Chevron from USA comes second
followed by Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell.

LOGISTICS PLANNING IN SHELL
ADGENT TOOL is used to model producer and receiving terminals, shipping logistics
and shipping delivery programs for both liquid natural gas (LNG) and crude oil.
It helps in decision making using upto date simulation technology.
Benefits :-
keep the volume of existing LNG storage tanks to a minimum
optimise the LNG ship capacity and speed requirements
optimise the level of storage capacity needed to guarantee reliable delivery
of LNG and eliminate bottlenecks in existing LNG plants.
The Shell Shipping organisation is based in London, with specialist centres in Houston,
The Hague, Singapore, Perth and Tokyo - networked to maritime professionals across the
globe.
Shell has 300 terminals and 9000 kilometres of pipeline all over the world.
The figure above shows how small scale transportation of LNG takes place in SHELL. Mtpa stands
for million tons per annum. For quantity from 0.5 – 2 mpta LNG carriers are used while large ships
are used for transportation of LNG via sea for 2-5 mpta .
The figure below shows the different vessels and their capacity that is used for transport of LNG.
Oceanic LNG Carriers have the largest capacity of 140,000 m3and carry weight of upto 62,500 tons.
CONCLUSION
It is understood that the national owned companies hold more than 80% of the worlds
reserves. Saudi Aramco tops the list.
The private sector which includes companies like BP, Royal Dutch Shell Corporation ,
Total SA etc hold just the remaining % of the reserves.
Sinopec from China has the largest revenue for the year ending 2013with 469,052 millions
of dollars followed by Royal Dutch Shell with 451,235 millions of dollars and Exxon Mobil
with 420,836.
Number of employees is notably highest for Petrochina with 544,000 followed by Gazprom
and Sinopec. All three have the number of employees much higher than the others because
they are state owned and they tend to provide more job opportunities and increase
employment.
When revenue is shown on pie chart Sinopec comes on top with 15% closely followed by
Royal Dutch Shell with 14% and Exxon Mobil with 13%.
PetroChina, Gazprom and Sinopec have the highest number of employees in descending
order and this is because the cost of labour is cheap in the countries where they operate i.e
China and Russia and also these companies look to create more employment for the citizens
of their respective countries.
Total SA from France holds the highest capital/labour ratio. Chevron from USA comes
second followed by Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell.
Royal Dutch Shell has a very effective transportation system that ensures safety in its
method of transportation of fuels across countries or within a country.
