“…The variable for discovery is a dummy coded as one if a major oil or gas field was found in the country, and zero otherwise. A major gas/oil discovery is a discovery of a field that contains at least 500 million barrels of oil or 79 million m 3 of gas (Halbouty, 2001).…”

The relationship between political violence and greenfield foreign direct investment is contingent on the type of violence, the characteristics of the investment-receiving sector, and the international scope of the investing firm. Analysis with a dynamic fixed effects model for a panel of 90 developing countries shows that nationwide political conflict is negatively associated with total and non-resource-related greenfield FDI, but not with resource-related greenfield FDI. The insensitivity of resource FDI to political conflict is explained by the high profitability of natural resource extraction and geographic constraints on location choice. In the non-resource sector, the least geographically diversified firms are most sensitive to conflict. Other types of political violence, including intermittent violence in the form of terrorist acts and assassinations, or persistent but low-impact events, such as political terror, have no effect on the location choice decisions of multinational enterprises. These findings inform the strategies of multinationals with a nuanced and much needed understanding of the effects of political violence and the risks it poses to their businesses. * We are grateful for the helpful comments from the editor, Mona Makhija, and three anonymous referees.

“…Similar additional potential exists in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The complex evolution of the strata within this basin has included the deposition of large sand bodies [ Watkins and Drake , 1982], a number of which have been found to contain “giant” (500 million barrels of ultimately recoverable oil or gas equivalent [ Halbouty , 2003]) oil and gas fields, such as the Thunderhorse and more recently Cascade and Chinook fields [ Halbouty , 2003; Brantly , 2007; Masson et al , 2011].…”

Abstract. Large gas fields occupy a dominant position in natural gas exploration and development. Many of them are at their mature stage and most are exploited effectively. Therefore it is necessary to study their successful experience to guide undeveloped gas fields. Based on analysis of more than 200 mature large gas fields, the general laws are discussed. Firstly, large gas fields should guarantee a long stable production period through two different kinds of styles. Secondly, EUR of large gas fields is generally high if successful measures are implemented against development risks mainly including uncertainties of structural features, reservoir permeability and drive mechanism. Thirdly, large gas fields need to undertake more responsibility to deal with short-term peak shaving based on strict criteria of suitable characteristics. Finally, more protection priority should be given to strategic gas fields while taking long-term resource security strategy into account.
