Fallowing the restructuring processes Central European oil companies have mostly been privatised during the past decade. The new problem arises in necessity of finding the right business strategy facing continuous geopolitical changes in the petroleum industry. Different business strategies of oil companies should be created considering the strong influence of different global issues. Small Central and Middle European oil companies will have difficulties in choosing the right strategy under mentioned circumstances.
