An Example of a Difference between Russian and Western Operating Company Structure
The information about the companies that are mentioned above refers to the Central Headquarters of these companies. This could be described as the mother company. All of these companies have operating companies that are spread out regionally or internationally which report to the Central Headquarters, where financial and performance indicators are consolidated. An example of this is Royal Dutch Shell that has its Central Headquarters in The Hague in Holland. Royal Dutch Shell also has operating companies in Nigeria, Oman, Australia and many other countries around the world. Rosneft has headquarters in Moscow and operations in Sakhalin island, in Siberia and the Timan-Pechora province.
An Integrated Asset Based Organization that you would typically find in a western operating company is centered around Asset teams. These asset teams look after and are responsible for ALL activities relating to an asset (or a group of assets). In a way an Asset team can be seen as a micro company within the main company. To operate in this way the Asset team needs to contain an integrated team of specialists. The reason for working in this way is the idea in the west that integrated teams are more effective than the functional approach. The Asset based organization also allows management to allocate budget, set targets and manage improvements more effectively because each Asset Manager is responsible for his Asset. The disadvantage of an Asset based organization is that it is difficult to maintain the technical level of functional specialists.
Until twenty years ago Functional based organizations as seen in Russian operating companies were also typical in Western companies. In such organizations all specialists of one function work together in one room and support all of the operating companies assets. The advantage of this system is that by working closely together within the function, specialists maintain a high level of technical expertise. The disadvantage is that integrated team work is absent and responsibility for a single asset is held only at the General Director level (see pictures below) this system is that by working closely together within the function, specialists maintain a high level of technical expertise.

OIL FORMATION
Oil, natural gas and petroleum have been foremost on people’s minds for the past years. Nations and the world are run by oil. It fuels our cars, our homes and provides us with electricity. It is used in the making of plastics and cosmetics. Oil is also prevalent in our lives, but most people don’t know where the oil we use comes from.

What is Crude Oil?
Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with minor proportions of other chemicals such as compounds of sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen. To use the different parts of the mixture they must be separated from each other. This separation is called refining.
Crude oils from different parts of the world, or even from different depths in the same oilfield, contain different mixtures of hydrocarbons and other compounds. This is why they vary from light colored volatile liquids to thick, dark oils - so viscous that they are difficult to pump from the ground.
What are Hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons vary in structure depending on the number of carbon atoms and the way in which the hydrogen atoms combine with them. Hydrocarbons can be arranged as straight chains, branched chains or closed rings. There are two main chemical families of hydrocarbons - the alkanes and the alkenes.
As the structure of hydrocarbons varies so much, thousands of synthetic products can be manufactured with many different properties. Hydrocarbons with small molecules make good fuels. Methane (CH4) has the smallest molecules, and is a gas, used for cooking and heating and generating electricity. Gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel and fuel oil are all liquid fuels.
Hydrocarbon molecules can be split up into smaller ones, or built up into bigger ones, or altered in shape, or modified by adding other atoms. This is why they are a very useful starting point (called a chemical feedstock) for making other materials. Even the thick black tarry residue left after distillation is useful. It is called bitumen, and is used in tarmac for road surfacing, and for roofing.
Forming Oil
Oil is formed from the remains of tiny plants and animals (plankton) that diedin ancient seas between 10 and 600 million years ago. After the organism died, they sank into the sand and mud at the bottom of the sea.
Over the years, the organisms decayed in the sedimentary layers. In these layers there was little or no oxygen present. So microorganisms broke the remains into carbon-rich compounds that formed organic layers. The organic material mixed with the sediments, forming fine-grained shale, or source rock. As new sedimentary layers were deposited, they exerted intense pressure and heat on the source rock. The heat and pressure distilled the organic material into crude oil and natural gas. The oil flowed from the source rock and accumulated in thicker, more porous limestone or sandstone, called reservoir rock. Movements in the Earth trapped the oil and natural gas in the reservoir rocks between layers of impermeable rock, or cap rock, such as granite or marble.
