国际油服公司海外科技机构建设与管理

Construction and Management of Overseas Technological Institutions by International Oilfield Service Companies

布局海外科技机构是油服企业实施全球化发展战略的重要手段之一。文章利用文献调查法,对比分析了斯伦贝谢、哈里伯顿、贝克休斯三大国际油服公司的海外科技机构布局特点、建设动因、建设方式和运营管理模式。出于市场、政策和科技资源考虑,3家公司均在海外设立多家科技机构,大多布局在科技或制造发达国家及产油区附近。公司灵活运用自主建设、共同建设和收并购建设等模式,其中共同建设包括与客户共建、与地方科研机构共建、与政府共建3种。举例说明了3家公司在科研组织、人员管理和机构调整方面的独到做法。国内油服公司可借鉴其成功经验建设好海外科技机构,助力企业在全球化经营道路上迈出坚实一步。

Establishment of overseas technological institutions is one of the important ways for oilfield service companies to carry out their global development strategy.This paper uses the literature survey method to compare the characteristics,construction motivations and methods,and operational management model of the overseas technological institutions from three major international oilfield service companies–Schlumberger,Halliburton and Baker Hughes.All of the three companies established a number of technological institutions overseas in consideration of market,policies and technological resources.Most of the institutions were distributed in developed manufacturers and near the oil-producing regions.The companies adopted the flexible model of independent construction,co-construction and acquisition.Co-construction included three kinds of construction–collaboration with customers,local scientific research institutes and the governments.The paper gives some examples to specify the unique methods for organization of scientific research activities,personnel management and structural adjustment.The domestic oilfield services companies can borrow the successful experiences from their foreign counterparts to establish their own overseas technological institutions so that they can lay a solid foundation for their global business operation.
