The purpose of this paper is to sketch briefly and with a broad brush an outline of the structure of the international oil industry and the changes in the roles of the several actors therein. This should provide a background against which those with little knowledge of the industry and its evolution can consider the more specialized discussions to follow in the subsequent chapters.
