Sustained low oil prices are changing the geopolitical landscape of the oil and gas business. The shale oil and gas revolution has resulted in the need for new business models, with many mergers in the international oil companies both upstream and downstream of the oil and gas supply chain. With the international demand for petroleum products reaching record levels, so too is the complexity of issues facing the Oil & Gas industry.
