“…There has been quite a number of efficiency-related research in the petroleum industry, substantially among the issues of ownership (Ike and Lee, 2014;Wolf, 2009;Ohene-Asare et al, 2017), privatization (Hawdon, 2003;Kashani, 2005) and environmental efficiency (Ismail et al, 2013;Sueyoshi and Goto, 2012). Additionally, as this study does international comparison of the oil and gas supply activities of various countries, it is encouraging that some studies have previously attempted such international comparison.…”

“…Oil reserves, gas reserves and total labor force employed were chosen as inputs to generate natural resources of oil and gas. Choice of these variables was motivated by previous literature that has considered reserves, labor and production levels as a good representation of the production process in the upstream petroleum industry (Eller et al, 2011;Ohene-Asare et al, 2017;Kashani, 2005). The two outputs, oil and gas production are physically generated from the oil and gas reserves using human resources.…”

“…The oil and gas industry plays an important role in the economic growth and development of most economies and have become an integral part of global economic life (Kashani, 2005;Barros and Assaf, 2009;Murphy and Hall, 2011;Ramachandra et al, 2005). The sector IJESM 12,3 supports such industries as energy, transportation, industrialized agriculture, steel and plastic pipe production, health care and chemical industries that generate income and employment (Francisco et al, 2012;Ismail et al, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the production efficiencies and frontiers differences of oil-producing countries (OPCs) in four inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) in the international petroleum industry with the aim of providing such countries understanding of group characteristics that help maximize their supply interests. Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis is based on 14 years of panel data covering the period from 2000 to 2013. In all 46 unique countries who are members of four IGOs relevant to the international petroleum industry are examined on individual and group bases. The authors use both metafrontier analysis and global frontier difference in examining the group average and group frontiers, respectively. Findings Groups with high inter and intra-group collaborations which ensure exchange of information, organizational learning and innovation tend to do better than groups with even higher hydro-carbon endowment. Additionally, hydro-carbon resource endowment may not be the solution to group inefficiency without higher endowment in human capital, economic stability, technology and infrastructure. Practical implications Choice of inter-governmental organizational membership should be based on the level of inter- and intra-group collaborations, human capital endowment among others and not mere historic links or even resource endowment. Originality/value This is among the few studies to compare and rank IGOs. Specifically, it is among the first studies to analyze the petroleum production efficiencies of IGOs involved in the international petroleum industry. This study assesses the performance differences among OPCs with the aim of identifying for OPCs the characteristics of inter-governmental groups that are beneficial to efficiency in upstream petroleum activities.

“…An investment analysis model for oil and gas production was developed by [29] that, in association with DEA, resorts to metaheuristics to find the optimal solution. Studies on the influence of state control in the petroleum sector in Norway and the UK were approached by [30]–[31], respectively.…”

“…The first linear models proposed considering undesirable outputs [6]–[38] diverged on the definition of undesirable outputs technology, between strong and weak disposability, which evaluates whether the reduction in these variables occur with or without cost, respectively. [9] presents that the models use the same limiting factor for all Decision Making Units (DMUs) and proposes a model with different factors of non-uniform rebates, and relaxes the disposability adoption between the DMUs in order to better represent the reality of companies.…”

This paper aims to assess the environmental efficiency of refineries in the public sector with emphasis on generated effluents and water consumption in the production process. In order to conduct this research, the addressed method was quantitative with a qualitative approach to the environmental aspects of controllable and uncontrollable variables implemented in two classical models of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), considering only desirable outputs and two DEA models which include undesirable outputs. The sample consists of ten refineries considering the following as input variables: idleness percentage of the operating plant, the amount of water consumed; and the following as outputs: refinery production volume and generated effluents, desirable and undesirable, respectively, besides the uncontrollable variable, the refinery age. With the comparison result between the models, we observed the clear importance of the environmental variable for a more realistic analysis of the production process.
