Research Methodology

Our research drew on two main initiatives:

  • We conducted a global survey of senior executives during September and October 2010. In total, 194 executives took part, representing a cross-section of firms in the oil and gas industry. These executives were very senior: one in three respondents were CEOs or managing directors, while all hailed from management positions. They represented firms ranging in size from less than US$500m in revenue (39%) to more than US$5bn (35%).
  • To supplement the survey results, we also conducted in-depth interviews with numerous executives, including CEOs, divisional heads, senior lobbyists and policymakers.
