The importance of the national oil companies, (NOCs) in the global economy is undeniable. NOCs now dominate the vast majority of known traditional energy reserves and will be the major providers of hydrocarbon products for years to come.
As a result of Marsh's belief in the importance of NOCs, we organized the first global National Oil Companies' conference in February this year. Following the success of this Dubai based event for NOCs, we have focused this edition of Drill Bits on the risks they face and their opportunities to successfully manage risk.
