Strategy at Anadarko Petroleum

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 10 page paper assessing the oil industry in 2006 and Anadarko Petroleum's place in it. The paper uses PEST, Five Forces and SWOT analysis to suggest strategy for what is about to be the country's largest independent oil producer. Anadarko's greatest strength and most promising strategy for the future may well lie in its CO2 extraction technology. Anadarko can gain oil at a cost of $6 a barrel, but it also can supply the technology and its operation to other oil companies as an ancillary business. This strategy allows Anadarko to broaden its revenue base without venturing off into a different industry, further balancing growth with greater predictability. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
