These opportunities and threats exist both in the internal and external upstream business environment. Much focus by the upstream firms on strategic resource management and internal performance have made them to neglect uncertainty in the external environment causing them to build undiversified capabilities that cannot match strategic investment options in this modern era of crude oil price volatility, gas/energy options and heavy oil demand. The concept of dynamic capabilities has been utilized in various degrees by upstream and high tech firms to respond to a dynamic business environment by sensing, seizing and capturing opportunities and transforming resources. This article extends the dimension of this concept to include shorten time between sensing opportunities and transforming resources which entails optionality. In as much as many scholars have elaborated on the functions of dynamic capabilities, they have channeled little or no focus on strategic options and time to gain entrant to this options as a form of dynamic capabilities. This article therefore describes how upstream firms through optionality and strategic fit can capture valuable investment options with ease and in time, diversify and transform resources with agile flexibility and align both together; thereby enabling time value, evolutional fitness, organizational balance and environmental stability.
