Tiivistelmä: | This paper is a case study of the impact of an exogenous (here as: exog.) improvement of a process technology on the structure of the petroleum industry. The role of three-dimensional seismology in bringing about the 1990s oil industry consolidation is examined. Exog. technological change (here as: t-chng.) can play a significant role in industry dynamics. This reference to the exog. t-chng. is a departure from the traditional consideration of endogenity of industry structure in relation to technological development and a novelty. Secondly, the documentation of 3D seismology as a significant process technology of the petroleum industry is significant. |
