A sound knowledge of different
facets of petro-Economics is a economics is a sine quo non particularly for the
petro-chemical sectors dealing with exploration, development, production,
refining, transportation. Storage and marketing of oil, natural gas and a wide
range of petro- products. Evolution and application of the concept of
petro-economics, following the first-ever major ‘ oil shock’ in the early 1970s
has gained strategic significance and tremendous momentum from the first decade
of the 21st century on the following ground: (i) Emerging need for
integration of national energy security with global energy security
environment; (ii) Growing concern for safeguarding dwindling strategic oil and
natural gas reserves to cater to the growing economy in the developing world
(particularly the BRIC nations) with much greater projected future demand for
oil and natural gas; (iii) segmentation of the global oil and natural gas
market on a geo-political basis, compounded by the overwhelming ramifications
of regional economic unions; (iv) price structuring, rationalization/ parity,
and attendant accounting problems of oil and natural gas in terms of upstream,
midstream, downstream, marketing/ retailing activities associated with crudes,
refined oil and natural gas (including LNG, CNG) products.
