* International political and economic unions around the world (EU, NAFTA): experience and lessons learned Michael Wilson, focused attention of the audience on the features of the Customs Union Agreement between Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus, there is also a Treaty on organisation, management, functioning and development of mutual markets of oil and oil products of 9 December 2010 effective as of 1 January 2012, which presumes consumer priority for the member states, environmental ensuring, unified market information ensuring, reciprocal use of oil main pipelines etc.
As to the best strategies for international oil and gas companies, Mr Wilson highlighted the:
- Price strategies
Oil and gas companies must control costs. They will continue to weigh the risks versus benefits of new projects, new products and how much capital to invest. Behind such decisions, there are regulatory, safety and environmental considerations.
- Environmental strategies
Companies in the energy, utilities and mining industries are on the front-line of climate change challenges. They need to navigate rapidly changing regulation and reporting regimes, markets and technologies that are still in evolution, fluctuating carbon prices and all the other risks that come from a transition to a low carbon economy and a warming planet.
