Resumen del autor, extraído del trabajo. Traditional geopolitical and energy issues have given way to environmental issues and to the technology needs imposed by new and marginal plays. Today, the major risk component carried by new ventures can affect the net present value of an investment more significantly than discounts behaviour. The normal rationale of high tech ventures is based on profitability and capital investment, the drive behind emerging countries’ net monetary return. Traditional co-operation agreements often penalise the financial objectives and growth of the technological party, while generating the needed cash flows for the developing party. Within the Upstream and in the presence of strong competition, mutually balanced relationships are difficult to implement. The visible effect is a reduction of exploration and development investment in favour of increased production at the expense of reservoir life. Outdated agreement formulas are replaceable by adapting modern productivity partners’ cycles to both evolving and static realities. This would benefit economic and societal growth, and on a larger scale, social stability. The tailoring of productivity agreements to domestic growth objectives, through modern capital management measures, is a feasible task for joint ventures and alliances. This can be achieved by renewing technology agreements, establishing mutual growth objectives, and adding transparency, all without renouncing profitability. v. 5, p. 89 CONGTP World Petroleum Congress (16th. : 2000 jun. 11-15 : Calgary, Alberta, Canada) 34 Geopolítica 10330 Política petrolera 1087 Economía petrolera.
