Waves of fortune

David Upton

Waves of Fortune provides an overview of the UK offshore oil and gas industries. The book arose from The Scenario Planning Workshop held at the Institute of Petroleum, London in May 1995, which was organised and chaired by the author and was attended by some of the most senior and influential figures in the industry. The workshop identified 14 key 'drivers' that will shape the future of the industry. Each of these drivers is examined in turn in the book and the four scenarios produced at the workshop are reproduced. Each scenario represents a different view of the future - each developed by a group of industry leaders. An account is also given of the history of scenario planning, the techniques involved, and of how this forecasting tool can provide a unique means of looking at the future.
