An unconventional analysis of the old and new 7 sisters in oil and gas sector

We began with the following hypotheses:

• Most of the finished goods of oil firms are commodities and so are the raw materials (crude, labour, finance) ; therefore, it is very difficult to create price differentials unless product is non-homogenous and brand (intangible assets) is strong.

• In case of a homogenous product and non-differentiated pricing, the only way to larger bottom-line is through cost efficiency achieved from better processes developed either by RnD or by services of external domain consultant.
