Description

This book is a descriptive analysis of current influences in the world oil trade. It is concerned with a central unchanged paradox of the industry SH its preoccupation with maximising the production of high-cost rather than low-cost oil. It follows the rise and decline of OPEC monopoly power in the crude market, and shows how growth in the international oil business has almost ceased since the late seventies, exploring the reasons behind this slow-down. The author has had twenty-five years of practical consultancy in petroleum economics.
