"Strategies and Influence of National Oil Companies on World Energy Markets" is a two-year research study on the behavior and strategies of national oil companies and the overarching trends in their investment and trade patterns. The study will investigate the impact of the strategies and behaviors of national oil companies on international energy, security and oil geopolitics. The study will emphasize how the United States, Japan and other major consuming countries, as well as private sectors, should deal with these increasingly powerful national companies in terms of trade, investment and strategic alliances. This joint workshop was timed to coincide with the Offshore Technology Conference and OTC Energy Week.  It was sponsored by University of Houston Law Center Institute for Energy Law and Enterprise (UH IELE) and the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University.
