The global economic recession of 2009 had a major impact on the business environment of Staatsolie. The reference price for Staatsolie.s crude oil, USGC Fuel Oil No.6, 3% S, decreased from US$ 72.56 per barrel in 2008 to US$ 55.86 per barrel in 2009 (23%). With regard to the operations this price development had a major impact on revenues and profits of Staatsolie. Besides, international and regional banks stepped up
their risk profile and were reluctant to finance investment projects, especially in emerging countries. This is of relevance, with regard to the expansion, as Staatsolie is implementing the investment program 2008?2012 of approximately US$ 1,000 million of which US$ 275 million will be secured in the regional and international market.
