Investigate the following players and their influence on the oil and gas energy security situation. These all have a major influence on the future of oil. Problems arise when key players conflict with each other.

 

• OPEC
• Governments in an oil producing non-OPEC country e.g. Nigeria
• TNCs - Shell
• TNCs - Gazprom

Create a one-page case study sheet on your allocated player. Information may include:

• Key recent incidents involving the player – agreements and conflict
• Positive influence on energy security
• Negative influence on energy security
• Environmental controversies
• Any other relevant information
