Download or read book Offshore Company Fundamentals written by David Offshorman and published by Triangle Marketplace, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything starts out small... The author of this book once heard this mysterious word offshore for the first time, too. And he, too, asked himself questions like: ‘What does a registered agent do?’, ‘How much do nominee services cost?’, ‘Why do I need an apostille?’, and ‘Where is it better to open a bank account?’. It is this inexperienced reader that the book is intended for, and its title speaks for itself. ‘Offshore Company Fundamentals’ contains basic information that is necessary to anyone who, on hearing the word Panama, thinks of a broad hat, rather than of ‘Panama Papers’. However, a sophisticated reader will also appreciate the survey of events and facts without which the topic can hardly be considered properly covered, although they do not exactly qualify as ‘fundamental stuff’: — Panama Papers and other offshore leaks – What data will be available in the era of worldwide exchange of information: sometimes the future looks back at you from your computer screen; — Cyprus deposit haircut 2013, an event that usually makes one lose faith in humanity, but in this case for some reason the only thing lost was money; — How to open a bank account in the new environment? – Learning to fly is easier; — International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), an organisation that is more like an elite Boy Scout task force digging up compromising material on the powers that be if they are in any way associated with offshores; — Where is the nominee director heading? – Wherever he is heading, now you will not be going the same way; — Compliance Officer, a bogey that sophisticated businessmen use to scare children into good behaviour. The more recent popular questions also include: What are CFC rules? Will I need to comply with economic substance requirements? How does the automatic exchange of tax information work? Why set up a trust? Of course, the author could not but cover these highly relevant topics, too. Whether he has succeeded in this and other tasks is up to you to decide!

Download or read book Offshore Company Law written by E. Edward Siemens and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This finely crafted and handsomely bound book will be a handy source of information for those working in both the onshore and offshore world, and who truly need to understand the differences between jurisdictions competing in the provision of offshore companies. Through coverage of the specifics in each country - including corporate legislation, as well as issues relevant to stakeholders, taxation, and related matters - author E. Edward Siemens provides an up-to-date book of real importance to the users of offshore companies and their advisers. All too often, offshore companies are formed with very little thought about the pros and cons of different jurisdictions and, in particular, what may turn out to be very important differences in the duties and liabilities of directors. A number of legal and tax issues are also forgotten as advisors reach for the fastest and cheapest solution to the needs of their clients. Siemens addresses many of these issues, providing a good reminder, to those using offshore companies, of the importance of a careful review in advance which can minimize a costly and unhappy end to the use of offshore companies. Siemens also provides a good overview of the different forms of companies that are available, which can be of extreme importance in determining the right type and location of offshore company to be established. His analysis includes protected cell companies, companies limited by guarantee, as well as hybrid entities. The important area of corporate governance is reviewed, together with issues relevant to the question of directors' liability - and directors' and officers' liability insurance. This detailed study examines 20 offshore jurisdictions including: the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Vanuatu, Mauritius, Seychelles, Panama, Switzerland, Dubai, Labuan, Delaware, and Hong Kong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lists of Offshore Drilling Recruitment Companies and Agencies.The offshore drilling companies account for a significant portion of the energy generated in the form of oil and gas across the world. An offshore drilling company obtains crude oil and gasoline from the seabed and supplies to the global market. The offshore drilling companies are expected to maintain a steady growth for the period of forecast owing to the steep demand for crude oil and gas all around the world. Presently, almost 100 countries produce crude oil and gas, however, almost half of the global crude oil production comes from the top five oil-producing countries. Offshore drilling of oil had witnessed a decline in the past two decades, but recent market trends suggest there is going to be a growth for the list of offshore drilling companies due to surging prices of crude oil and high demand for fossil fuel across the globe for the coming five years. The global market for offshore drilling of oil is estimated to surpass a value of $125 billion by the end of 2023 growing at a CAGR of more than 4.5% for the coming five years. Russia and Saudi are the two largest oil-producing countries in the world with a 13% market share for global crude oil production. The United States is the third largest oil producer with a 12% market share, followed by Iraq and Iran with a share of 6% and 5% respectively. An offshore drilling company is capable of extracting petroleum from as deep as 1,500 meters from the seabed. The top 10 offshore drilling companies registered a growth in their annual revenue in the previous financial year and they have thousands of employees with an operational presence in several countries. Here follows a comprehensive list of offshore drilling companies to give a holistic picture of the best offshore drilling companies across the world.

Download or read book Macondo Well Deepwater Horizon Blowout written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blowout of the Macondo well on April 20, 2010, led to enormous consequences for the individuals involved in the drilling operations, and for their families. Eleven workers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig lost their lives and 16 others were seriously injured. There were also enormous consequences for the companies involved in the drilling operations, to the Gulf of Mexico environment, and to the economy of the region and beyond. The flow continued for nearly 3 months before the well could be completely killed, during which time, nearly 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the gulf. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout examines the causes of the blowout and provides a series of recommendations, for both the oil and gas industry and government regulators, intended to reduce the likelihood and impact of any future losses of well control during offshore drilling. According to this report, companies involved in offshore drilling should take a "system safety" approach to anticipating and managing possible dangers at every level of operation-from ensuring the integrity of wells to designing blowout preventers that function under all foreseeable conditions-in order to reduce the risk of another accident as catastrophic as the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. In addition, an enhanced regulatory approach should combine strong industry safety goals with mandatory oversight at critical points during drilling operations. Macondo Well-Deepwater Horizon Blowout discusses ultimate responsibility and accountability for well integrity and safety of offshore equipment, formal system safety education and training of personnel engaged in offshore drilling, and guidelines that should be established so that well designs incorporate protection against the various credible risks associated with the drilling and abandonment process. This book will be of interest to professionals in the oil and gas industry, government decision makers, environmental advocacy groups, and others who seek an understanding of the processes involved in order to ensure safety in undertakings of this nature.
Download or read book American Kleptocracy written by Casey Michel and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable debut by one of America's premier young reporters on financial corruption, Casey Michel's American Kleptocracy offers an explosive investigation into how the United States of America built the largest illicit offshore finance system the world has ever known. "An indefatigable young American journalist who has virtually cornered the international kleptocracy beat on the US end of the black aquifer." —The Los Angeles Review of Books For years, one country has acted as the greatest offshore haven in the world, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in illicit finance tied directly to corrupt regimes, extremist networks, and the worst the world has to offer. But it hasn’t been the sand-splattered Caribbean islands, or even traditional financial secrecy havens like Switzerland or Panama, that have come to dominate the offshoring world. Instead, the country profiting the most also happens to be the one that still claims to be the moral leader of the free world, and the one that claims to be leading the fight against the crooked and the corrupt: the USA. American Kleptocracy examines just how the United States’ implosion into a center of global offshoring took place: how states like Delaware and Nevada perfected the art of the anonymous shell company, and how post-9/11 reformers watched their success usher in a new flood of illicit finance directly into the U.S.; how African despots and post-Soviet oligarchs came to dominate American coastlines, American industries, and entire cities and small towns across the American Midwest; how Nazi-era lobbyists birthed an entire industry of spin-men whitewashing trans-national crooks and despots, and how dirty money has now begun infiltrating America's universities and think tanks and cultural centers; and how those on the front-line are trying to restore America's legacy of anti-corruption leadership—and finally end this reign of American kleptocracy.
Download or read book The Services Shift written by Robert E. Kennedy and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2009-01-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone's familiar with manufacturing offshoring by now. But a different phenomenon will soon drive even more powerful changes: the globalization of services. Until now, it's been virtually impossible to get a clear picture of what's going on, where, and why. Where are the jobs going? Which companies benefit -- or could benefit? How, exactly, does services offshoring work? Who makes a good partner? What are the public policy implications? The Services Shift answers all these questions and more, offering powerful insights for managers, policymakers, and citizens alike. Two leading researchers reveal how services offshoring is working in both industries and individual companies, and show how to define and implement realistic services sourcing goals. You'll review the types of players involved in services offshoring, and understand its geographical centers, from China and India to Hungary, Russia, Morocco, Brazil, South Africa, and Mauritius. Drawing on detailed interviews with dozens of participants, the authors review the management skillsets associated with successful services offshoring. Next, they review policy initiatives in both developing and developed countries, and assess U.S. policy initiatives aimed at restricting offshoring. Next, they review policy initiatives in both developing and developed countries, and assess U.S. policy initiatives aimed at restricting offshoring.

Download or read book Offshore Pioneers Brown Root and the History of Offshore Oil and Gas written by Joseph A. Pratt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-11-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, in November 1947, Brown & Root helped Kerr-McGee build the first out-of-sight-land offshore platform that produced oil. The date is widely celebrated as the birth of the modern offshore industry. In the years since this historic occasion, Brown & Root has continued to pioneer in the design and construction of offshore pipelines and platforms. Along with the rest of the offshore industry, the company has helped develop technology capable of finding and producing oil in deepwater and in harsh environments around the world.This history puts a human face on the process of technological change. Using the words of many of those who took part in Brown & Root's offshore activities, this book recounts their efforts to find practical ways to recover offshore oil. Building on lessons learned in the Gulf of Mexico before and after World War II, the company's personnel adapted offshore technologies to conditions encountered in Venezuela, the Middle East, Alaska, and other regions before becoming one of the first engineering and construction companies to confront the challenge of North Sea development in the 1960's.Through times of boom and bust in the oil industry, the search for effective technology had continued. The process has not always been smooth, but the results have been impressive. As we enter a new and exciting era in offshore technology, the history of the first fifty years of the industry provides a useful context for understanding current and future events.
