Model applied to the investment decision-making processes in the exploration and production sector of the oil and gas industry in an environment of risks and uncertainties

Abstract

Much of the literature on organizational routines focuses on stability and changes in the operational activities of organizations. In addition, this paper emphasizes that organizational routines can also influence investment decision-making processes of companies that work on the Exploration and Production (E&P) segment of the oil and gas industry. Thus, an empirical model was built to show how organizational routines support the strategic decision-making processes of investing in new capital assets in an environment of risks and uncertainties in the segment. Finally, it presents the main macro processes (higher-level routines) used in the E&P segment.
