Chevron has had sustained success operating in Kazakhstan since entering the market in 1993 after the country gained independence. Chevron operates stakes in Kazakhstan's two largest oil fields through joint ventures with the national oil company. Chevron extracts over 291,000 barrels of oil per day in Kazakhstan and plans to increase output. Its experience working with the Kazakh government and overcoming voids like lack of infrastructure provides lessons for operating in other emerging markets like South Sudan.

2. Emerging Markets
Appetite for
Risk
Chevron is an integrated energy company that generates most profit from upstream operations.
Oil and gas industry is increasingly dominated by national oil companies in recent years, forcing
independent ones to explore riskier areas.
With strong financial health relative to its private peers, Chevron has more appetite for risk.
Case Study #1:
Kazakhstan
Chevron successfully entered this market in 1993 after independence.
Chevron operates in largest oil fields , owns 50% stake in Tengizchevroil with the Kazakh state.
Major voids: lack of pipeline capacity, shortage of skilled engineers and few domestic suppliers.
Case Study #2:
Chad
Severely underdeveloped state that has been ruled by a military government since 1976.
Chevron operates JV with Exxon and owns a pipeline running through Chad and Cameroon.
Major voids: poor distribution networks, insolvent banks, and unpredictable legal institutions.
Business Case:
South Sudan
Newly-‐independent nation with significant oil reserves; Asian companies investing quickly.
Major voids: Limited financial intermediaries, nonexistent physical infrastructure, political
and legal institutions are young and unproven.
Based on Kazakh and Chad experiences, and voids in South Sudan, we do not
recommend that Chevron lead exploration in South Sudan at this time.

7. Foreign Market Strategy
Before Chevron enters a foreign market, it must conduct a profitability study that
encompasses the following three major conditions:
1.
Political concerns
First and foremost, Chevron cannot enter a country if it is not open for business or
if markets are closed due to war or sanctions. Iran (sanctions) and Iraq (war) are
good recent examples.
2.
Geological conditions
Chevron must also conduct a cost analysis of production in certain geological
conditions (see Slide 10).
For example, deepwater and oil sands are considerably more expensive to extract
and refine, and therefore are less profitable.
3.
Presence of Competitors
Presence of IOCs: A market cornered by ExxonMobil or Royal Dutch Shell will be
less attractive for Chevron.
However, Chevron sometimes invites competitors to join projects to spread risk.
Presence of NOCs: Chevron is increasingly confronting NOCs not only in their home
markets, but also abroad. PetroChina, for example, is heavily invested in Africa.
In many cases, Chevron is forced to enter JVs with NOCs

8. Business case for going on-‐shore
Onshore production is more profitable than offshore, ceteris paribus. In Nigeria, for
example, offshore production ($30/barrel) is twice as expensive as onshore ($15/barrel)
Private operations are almost always more productive than any NOC-‐affiliated operation.
In Kazakhstan, it costs the private firm $10-‐$12/barrel and the NOC $15-‐$18/barrel.

Chevron is the largest IOC in Kazakhstan and was the first private oil company to enter the country
after Kazakhstan declared its independence from the Soviet Union; it entered Kazakhstan in 1993.
Key Facts about Chevron in Kazakhstan
Chevron operates in the two largest oil fields in
Kazakhstan. It has a 50% stake in Tengizchevroil
(TCO) a JV with the Kazakh NOC which operates
the Tegiz field the deepest operating super giant
oil field in the world, and a 20% stake in the
nd largest oil
field.
Chevron extracts approximately 291,000 barrels of
oil a day with plans to increase its total output by
up to 150,000 barrels a day.
Chevron is the largest private stake holder in the
CPC pipeline, the largest capacity pipeline that
connects Kazakhstan's oil fields to ports on the
Caspian Sea.

Chad is a failed state under the control of the autocratic Idris Deby since 1979. The development of its oil resources in
a joint-‐venture with ExxonMobile, Petronas and the World Bank was supposed to grant the government revenues
with which it could pay for human development projects that have not materialized.
OPENNESS
+ A member of the African Union and the government
was amenable to stipulations formulated by the World
Bank on how oil production revenues were to be spent

soldiers from the Arab Spring.
POLITICAL SYSTEM
+ Presidential elections for a presidential term of five-‐
years have been held since 1996

been the only winner. The entire judiciary is appointed by
the president and in 2006 he had to fend off an
attempted coup by rival military leaders.

South Sudan presents Chevron with some excellent future opportunities for oil

techniques, over $8 billion in potential income exists for Chevron in South Sudan.
However, many of the risk mitigation techniques are predicated on the assistance of
multiple NOC and IOCs. Further the political instability and conflict with Sudan will likely
hinder the ability of Chevron to mitigate the most severe voids at this time.

the political situation becomes more stable with Chevron should enter South Sudan.

According to a report by BAH http://www.boozallen.com/media/file/Capital_Project_Execution.pdf executives in the oil and gas industry
estimate that due to current shortages in engineers and other qualified workers traditional contractors can managed 70% of planned
future production. Another report by Time magazine says the shortage of engineers global and in the US is approximately 10%,
however, Kazakhstan is likely much worse due to the tertiary % of gross population being 2.23x less than the United States (World Bank
Data) . Using the above data we can estimate the potential cost to Chevron due to a lack of qualified engineers.
A 30% reduction in planned future activities x 1.223 ( assumes the 30% reduction is based on a 10% shortage in the US which when

Lack of quality suppliers
When S. Sudan broke away from Sudan supplies and equipment for upstream production were stranded at the border and oil
production in S. Sudan decline by 5% immediately. We assume a similar decline is possible in Kazakhstan due to the fact that most
equipment and suppliers are imported by Chevron.
