Static and Dynamic Game Theory in Common Oil and Gas Fields: A Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis

This paper provides a systematic literature review and analysis of game theory to model oil gas scenarios. We select 2514 papers from Scopus, present complex three-dimensional classification the selected papers, analyze resultant citation network. According industry-based classification, surveyed can be classified in common supply chain fields. Based on types players, into that use government-contractor games, contractor–contractor contractor-subcontractor subcontractor–subcontractor or games involving other players. type used, using normal-form noncooperative cooperative extensive-form are present. Also, we show each above classifications plays role influencing which likely cite particular paper. However, type-of-game exerts strongest influence. Overall, network this field is sparse, implying authors' awareness studies by academics suboptimal. Our suggests useful for modeling More work needs done production domain games.
