As recent figures indicate, major Western oil companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and TOTAL are increasingly losing ground to a new breed of competitors. With many of the most lucrative hydrocarbon reserves situated in emerging nations and jealously guarded by national oil and gas companies, could this signal the end for Western domination of the oil industry?

China is making significant efforts to increase its exposure to the Latin American energy market. In recent years Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina have been the focus of Chinese national oil companies seeking to expand their reach, and the joint venture between PetroChina and PDVSA is the latest example of this trend.

Brazil is dependent on oil and hydroelectric power for the majority of its energy, but the country is now taking steps towards diversifying its energy mix in a way that reduces the chance of widespread power cuts due to drought, while also helping to meet emissions reductions targets. However, a history of talking without acting means that it is yet to be seen whether Brazil is serious about wind.

The International Maritime Organization has been working toward a global deal to limit the industry's carbon emissions, but its slow progress has prompted the EU to signal its intent to incorporate shipping into its Emissions Trading Scheme if no agreement is reached by the end of 2011. However, introducing localized legislation could prove to be both inefficient and counter-productive.

Globally, 20% of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by deforestation and forest degradation. Prevention of further deforestation is therefore paramount to mitigating climate change. Paradoxically, the amount of carbon stored in Ecuador's Yasuni National Park puts it in a very vulnerable position; it holds some 846 million barrels of heavy oil, which would provide much needed revenues for Ecuador.

The outlook for the Latin American oil and gas industry in 2011 is positive, meaning that investors and industry participants have good reason to be optimistic about the future of the market. Datamonitor's analysis shows that total offshore capital expenditure in the region is expected to grow by 14% in 2011, reaching an approximate value of $21bn.

Sweeping nationalization of the Venezuelan oil industry has led to a slump in foreign investment. However, a leaked US diplomatic cable has revealed that President Chavez is now allegedly desperate to attract foreign oil companies back to the country. It seems likely that western companies will lose out to the "loyal" Chinese operators, but even they will demand more favorable conditions.

While COP16 talks ended with an agreement of sorts, the modest measures fall well short of the type of action that scientists believe is necessary to stop climate change from having grave effects within mere decades. The deal does not move the world closer to a new binding agreement, and the political realities of the US will continue to pervert any such progress for at least the next two years.

As had been widely predicted, the last two weeks of negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Cancun, Mexico did not conclude with a new international agreement. However, the 16th Conference of the Parties to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which ended on Saturday, did make significant progress in key areas such as deforestation and aid for the poorest countries.

As the COP16 talks draw to a close, they appear to be teetering on the brink of failure. After nearly two weeks of talking there is no resolution in sight to the most fundamental question of all: how to ensure that the Kyoto Protocol remains alive after 2012, while uniting both developed and developing countries under one agreement that commits them to reducing emissions.
