Sommario/riassunto

Deze studie is opgesteld in opdracht van de WRR, meer specifiek de projectgroep Beleid, Informatie en Technologie. Om meer inzicht te verwerven in de dynamiek rondom de ontwikkeling, invoering en het gebruik van ICT in de relatie overheid-burger heeft de projectgroep een aantal empirische studies uitgezet. Daarbij heeft ze de auteurs onder meer gevraagd een aantal beginselen in de analyse te betrekken die als het ware de schragen vormen waarop de relatie overheid-burger in de informatiesamenleving rust. Het betreft de beginselen: keuzevrijheid, identiteit en identificatie, transparantie, effectiviteit en efficiëntie, accountability en privacy. De serie WRR-webpublicaties omvat studies die in het kader van de werkzaamheden van de WRR tot stand zijn gekomen. De verantwoordelijkheid voor de inhoud en de ingenomen standpunten berust bij de auteurs.

Sommario/riassunto

As early as 3000 BC, we know that the people of Mesopotamia were using crude oil as a tar for building ships and houses, so, it is not by any means a new industry, but it is a volatile one. Oil and gas are important to every aspect of our economy yet this industry is distinguished by its combination of increasing demands and decreasing discovery volumes; and it is an industry shrouded in an environment of extremely volatile pricing. Although the profits enjoyed by the oil and gas industry are enormous, the industry remains one of the most capital intensive in a world where rising expenses continue to threaten to squeeze profit margins.
