There are a variety of challenges facing the energy
industry, from decreased access to sovereign reserves, to declining fields,
innovation challenges, increased regulation and new energy policies. These
challenges pose a threat to the basic industry structure. Oil & gas
companies espouse four common industry-wide strategies of Portfolio Management,
Operational Efficiency, Financial Management and Sustainability-of which the
first three are core operating strategies of oil & gas companies. The companies
have derived their profitability, growth, and shareholder returns based on the
superior execution of these strategies. This study examined the conceptual framework
of strategic management, the process and implementation, how it impacts on organization’s
performance, its advantages and disadvantages, the levels of strategy, the supply
chain strategy of NNPC, and the five year strategic plan of the oil and gas industry.
Hypothesis were formulated and tested in accordance to response to questionnaires
received which validated the research on the impact of strategic management of performance.
However, based on observation, the researcher recommended that Successful strategy formulation does not all guarantee successful
strategy implementation, therefore, once the course of strategy has been
charted the manager’s priorities swing to converting the strategic plan into
actions and good results. "Times New Roman";color:black">
