A contributed article from Arthur D. Little on the topic of petronationalism, based upon the PRISM piece.  The article discusses how the global energy industry has been facing a variety of challenges in recent years including extreme price volatility, decline of ‘easy oil’, commoditisation of technologies, pressure to reduce the carbon footprint and an emergence in petronationalism. It is concluded that petronationalism is evident in the growing power and wealth of NOCs and represents an unparalleled opportunity for all players in the industry.
