The New Economy of Oil


Book Description

This book is for people involved with oil as consumers, competitors, commentators, investors, managers, politicians and regulators. It examines corporate, social and environmental challenges and argues that the chief concern about oil over the next twenty years will be its acceptability, not its availability. The book reviews energy projections, focusing on issues of transportation, oil reserves and growing markets for gas. Traditional 'oil' issues such as security and the restructuring of the industry are re-examined in this context. The final section discusses the consequence of this analysis for the industries concerned, for national governments, and for value-driven non-government groups.
