State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play a massive role in the global oil and gas industry and the economies of many countries. Some of these companies have developed strong corporate governance and financial returns. Many, however, have struggled with performance and integrity. The OECD recommends “systematic benchmarking” as a key to good governance of SOEs, but a lack of cross-cutting data has traditionally made this difficult in the oil sector. In the coming weeks, the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) will launch the largest free public database of national oil company financial, operational and performance data, covering more than 70 SOEs worldwide. The database will provide SOE executives, government officials, journalists and researchers with comparative information to facilitate benchmarking, goal-setting and reform efforts. This database and its findings will dramatically reinforce public understanding of these complex giants.
