India - India's economic growth is widely praised, and with a GDP of $4.046 trillion USD in 2010 and a GDP growth rate of 8.3% last year, it is clear why the country is making the headlines in the most positive of lights. In his latest visit to India, U.S. President Barack Obama stated that "India is not simply emerging: India has already emerged." However, before it can complete its transformation into one of the world's superpowers, India must address two big issues that are hampering its development. These are its infrastructure and energy challenges.

Singapore - Given the 24 percent trade growth between Houston and Singapore in 2009, and Singapore’s ambition to diversify it’s economy, it should come to no surprise that Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong aims to attract more foreign investments to the Lion city. What might be more surprising is the fact that the island country of less than 275 square miles in surface is specifically looking to attract investors in the energy business, despite having zero natural reserves of oil and gas.

Australia - The best view overlooking the energy world these days is from the land down under. A long time mining giant, the growth of Australia's petroleum industry is now adding a preponderant dimension to its international energy standing.

Brazil Part 1 - As part of the team planning and designing the evaluation and production development phases of one of the world's most outstanding exploration frontiers, Jose Formigli, executive manager of Petrobras E&P Pre-salt, considers himself fortunate. Petrobras will invest $30.9 billion in pre-salt up to 2014.

Russia – The real face of Russia is a difficult concept for those unfamiliar with the country: an energy superpower grappling with the challenge of redefining itself for the 21st century.

Malaysia - When Malaysia's Prime Minster Najib Tun Razak unveiled its highly anticipated New Economic Model (NEM) in March 2010, he re-emphasized the importance of the oil & gas industry for Malaysia - deeper and further afield.

The Netherlands - For centuries, the industrious Dutch have made their fortune from a passionate relationship with the sea. This tiny country in the north west of Europe, squeezed between the North Sea and, at times, expansionist neighbors, has forged its national identity over a strong maritime vocation. The Dutch have sailed the world as conquerors and merchants, reclaimed at least a quarter of their land from the sea, which they protect with man-made barriers, and, more recently, successfully exploited the oil and gas riches under their waters.

Norway Part 1 - At 40 years old, it would be some what premature to say Norway's oil and gas industry is going through a midlife crisis. However, despite a lack of sports cars or young blondes - genetic predispositions notwithstanding - the warning signs are clear for quite literally a sectoral sea change.

Norway Part 2 - At the dawn of its fifth decade, Norway's oil and gas industry could easily be mistaken for quietly entering its golden years. Following the path of North Sea neighbors in the UK, and with no elephant discoveries found since the 1990's, declining oil and gas production is a trend predicted to persist.

Aberdeen Part 1 - A global center of excellence for oil and gas.  Life after forty: a second wind for the UKCS? The discovery of significant oil deposits in the North Sea during the 1960s and 1970s marked the beginning of a new era and definitive turning point in the modern history of Aberdeen.

Aberdeen Part 2 - A global center of excellence for oil and gas. Life after forty: a second wind for the UKCS? In the midst of global economic turmoil, Aberdeen's oil and gas industry seems to be insulated from the rest of the UK, if not the world.

Indonesia Part 1 - Shaping a Competitive Indonesia: Once a net exporter of petroleum, Asia's only OPEC member seeks to increase production and to diversify its energy sector by generating power from other energy sources such as biofuels and geothermal.

Indonesia Part 2 - Continuing "Shaping a Competitive Indonesia: The prime importance of building a sustainable O&G sector," this second of a two-part special report examines three key industry developments.

Mexico Part 1 - New times, new opportunities. Pre-Columbian heritage, religion, cuisine and music aren't the only cornerstones of Mexican history and tradition. Mexico's oil patrimony has played a critical role in shaping the country's national identity and economic progress.

Mexico Part 2 - New times, new opportunities. Towards the end of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago, the huge Chicxulub meteor impacted the earth on the Yucatan Peninsula, believed to be the origin for creating the Cantarell oil field.

Mexico Part 3 - New times, new opportunities. Since March 18, 1938, the day that President Cardenas declared the nationalization of Mexican petroleum and the exploration of the foreign oil companies operating in Mexico, the country's politics have been deeply intertwined with the oil and gas industry.

Mexico Part 4 - New times, new opportunities. Within a month after Hurricane Dean paralyzed oil activities in the Bay of Campache, which cost PEMEX up to US$1.5 billion in lost production, the Mexican Congress and Senate approved a long awaited fiscal reform package aimed at reviving the financial muscle of Mexico's national oil company.

Mexico Part 5 - New times, new opportunities. Ciudad del Carmen in the early 1980's became the capital of the Mexican offshore industry followed by the discovery of the Cantarell field. Today, it serves as a perfect market-sentiment barometer for the Mexican offshore industry.

Mexico Part 6 - New times, new opportunities. Having benefited from PEMEX's investment boom over the past decade, numerous Mexican service providers have gained the expertise and level technological advancement that enables them to venture beyond the limits of their domestic market.
