The NOCs dominate the upstream industry, are fast expanding their operations in both midstream and downstream industry and are also actively participating in the global M&A activities.

The NOCs of major oil and gas producing countries will spend approximately $540 billion in oil and gas investments over the next five years. The companies will also invest to make their operations more integrated and also expand internationally.

Several Chinese national oil companies have invested over $33.8 billion from 2003 to July 2009 in acquiring different assets across the globe. The industry will also witness increased NOC-NOC partnerships during 2009-15, with the companies leveraging on political ties in order to expand their operations. Chinas recent loan for oil agreements with different oil and gas producing countries will allow the countrys different NOCs to expand their presence in the related countries.
