The results show that the currency exposure does vary in the oil-gas stock prices throughout the bull and bear market. The study suggests that the models of the equilibrium exchange rate exposure must be extended to considering the nonlinear exchange rate exposure, the regime periods of bull and bear market, and the industry types that is sensitive to the currency exposures. The nonlinear dynamic relationship between the exchange rate changes and the Chinese energy stock prices throughout the bull and bear market add to the recent empirical evidences that foreign exchange markets and stock markets are closely correlated.展开更多

At present, China vigorously promotes the use of the pipeline robots, for the maintenance of the oil and gas pipelines by the unique characteristics of the robots. In this paper, the author carries out the detailed analysis on the current situation of the development of the pipeline robots in the oil and gas storage and transportation industry, and compares the different applications of the pipeline robots at home and abroad. Starting from the principles of the operation of the robots, the author analyzes the characteristics of the different types of the robots, and combined with the existing conditions of the oil and gas storage and transportation in our country, the author tries to find the most favorable way of the working of the pipeline robots, to continuously improve the development of the oil and gas storage and transportation industry using the robot technologies.展开更多

At the supply side, taxes have been reduced; at the comsumption side, taxes are on the rise. These resource countries have also opened up their oil and gas sectors in the hopes of attracting more domestic and foreign capital. With the Paris Agreement coming into effect in 2016, green and low-carbon development has become the consensus of global energy development. Although the development of clean energy has currently slowed down because of low oil prices, clean energy will be the world's common direction of development in the long run. Currently, countries continue to support the development of clean energy, although the manners of their support are changing.展开更多

In this dilemma, it appears that the oil communities are powerless in the face of the obnoxious display of might and the right to make and apply policies that affect the general well-being of the Niger Delta people and their environment. The question that might arise in this situation is the ethical perception of some of those who make and execute policies about the ecological problems of the region. Therefore, this paper focuses on discussing eco-justice in the light of Jesus teaching on equity and equality in Matt. 7.12, where he counsels that human actions on the others should be moderated by the actors' desire for his well-being.展开更多

After reviewing the achievements and summarizing the problems of the oil and gas industry in China, this paper lays emphasis on the key aspects of this new round of deepening reforms, and holds rite position that this reform, based on the implementation of the national energy strategy, covers the entire oil and gas industry chain by liberalizing market access, reforming market mechanisms, and strengthening management. The reform will bring far-reaching effects upon the entire chain and the participants of the oil and gas industry. It will help to improve the market-oriented allocation of resources, allow enterprises to interact as competitors, and enhance the national oil and gas security.展开更多
