    This is because, first, the US and the UK are the most consumers of oil and gas in the whole world. Whether they were purchasing oil and gas from OPEC or non-OPEC countries, the move by the US and the UK to produce their own oil and gas will affect OPEC and other countries producing oil and gas. The US and the UK will represent two big markets for oil and gas. As such, OPEC will have to change their roles in order to accommodate the change. Second, OPEC was the biggest supplier of oil and…

    The global supply of energy is concentrated within the 12 OPEC countries. (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). These countries hold a vast amount of the world’s oil and gas reserves with 81% of proven oil reserves and 49% of proven gas reserves. The aim of the organisation is to unify petroleum policies so that there is a steady supply of energy to consumers, and a steady income for themselves- the producer. OPEC sets production targets for its member nations and generally, when OPEC production targets are reduced, oil prices increase. This was clearly seen in the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo against the US and the West in response to the US’s involvement in the Yom Kippur war against Egypt. The OPEC countries prohibited trade with the USA, UK, Japan, Canada and the Netherlands. It caused the price of oil to rocket, and many countries went in to depression. This shows the importance of cooperation between OPEC member states, as their decisions can affect the price of energy. Furthermore, it emphasises the importance of countries such as the USA cooperating with oil producing countries such as the OPEC countries where energy has been used as a source of power.…

    Over the past 40 years, investment decisions have been made by the United States based on such events that have affected the oil industry. The recent increase of oil prices has affected the economy negatively. In the 1970’s, oil prices stayed around $20 a barrel. In 1946, the average cost for a barrel of oil was around $1.60 compared to $96.80 in 2008. (Williams, 2008) The change in the US dollar is another cause for the fluctuating prices in oil demand. The need and demand for oil is leaving us dependent on other countries such as Libya, Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, and Venezuela.…

    Addicted to Oil

    The United States’ increasing dependence on oil is a growing problem. Oil demand is increasing at an outstanding rate, not only in the U.S. but also around the world. Consider this, in 2008, “the world produced about 85 million barrels of oil a day, but global demand topped 86 million barrels a day” (Pickens). Just 4 years later the oil consumption rate has increased to 90 million barrels a day (IEA). A major portion of this increase can be attributed to high oil consumption rates in China and India, which now are importing more oil. The graph below from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) illustrates how significantly China’s dependence on world oil has increased over the past 15 years. It isn’t just competition for oil with other countries that is contributing to the problem though. Our usage of oil has to be looked at; especially our vehicles which consume an ever increasing amount of oil. According to the EIA, gas mileage of all types of U.S. made vehicles has leveled off since 1985. While foreign car companies have continued to make more fuel efficient vehicles, U.S. automakers have failed to keep up with innovations to make their vehicles increasingly more energy efficient. Based on the fact that each year more people are driving and people are commuting longer distances, oil consumption will continue to go up.…

    -1905004762500Russia has the world’s largest gas reserves and is an exporter of oil, but its oil and gas production is strarting to decline as reserves dwindle. Russia’s Natural Resources Ministry estimates that the country’s existing oil reserves will be depleted by 2030. The 2005 BP World Energy Survey projects that U.S. oil reserves will last another 10 years if the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is not opened for oil exploration, Norway’s reserves are good for about seven years and British North Sea reserves will last no more than five years – which is why the Arctic reserves, which are still largely unexplored, will be of such crucial importance to the world’s energy future.…
