This document discusses the history and causes of oil price slips. It begins with the origin of crude oil from plant and animal remains millions of years ago. In the early 20th century, there were fears of running out of oil as production increased. OPEC was formed in 1960 by major oil producers to negotiate higher prices. Various factors like economic crises, wars, and changes in supply and demand have impacted oil prices over time. The document also discusses OPEC's role in stabilizing oil prices and providing steady income for member countries. It outlines alternatives to oil and implications of lower oil prices for different countries and sectors.
OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)Clinton Mushahary
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was established in 1960 by five founding members - Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. It is an intergovernmental organization that coordinates and unifies oil policies among its members, with goals of stabilizing oil markets and ensuring a steady supply of oil to consumers. OPEC played a key role in the 1973 oil embargo and continues to influence global oil prices and production levels through agreements among its members, which now include 12 countries in total. Saudi Arabia is OPEC's largest producer and has significant spare capacity to influence markets.
Venezuela has large oil and gas reserves but production is declining as fields mature. State oil company PDVSA needs significant investment to maintain output but has rising costs and limited funds. A new hydrocarbons law increased taxes on oil companies and reduced foreign investment, further challenging PDVSA's ability to fund necessary investments in production and exploration. The future of Venezuela's oil industry remains unclear as foreign partners delay investments until regulatory issues are resolved.

Its stated mission is to manage the supply of oil in an effort to set price levels that are fair to both the producers and consumers of oil. Some key points are that OPEC is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, it was established in 1960 by 5 countries and has since grown to 13 members, and collectively its members control a significant portion of the world's proven oil reserves and production.
Oil 101 - A Free Introduction to Oil and Gas
What is Midstream Oil and Gas?
As its name implies, the midstream oil and gas segment encompasses facilities and processes that sit between the upstream and downstream segments. Activities can include processing, storage and transportation of crude oil and natural gas.
In most cases, oil and gas reserves are not located in the same geographic location as refining assets and major consumption regions.
Transportation is a big part of midstream activities and can include using pipelines, trucking fleets, tanker ships, and rail cars.
OPEC is an intergovernmental organization formed in 1960 to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among its 13 member countries. It aims to secure fair and stable oil prices, an efficient supply of oil to consumers, and equitable and reasonable profits for its members. Key events included the 1971 shift of price control from oil companies to OPEC, and the 1973 and 1979 oil crises which led to price increases. While OPEC coordinated production quotas to influence prices, disagreements among members and increased non-OPEC production have reduced its influence in recent years. OPEC members control a large share of global oil reserves and production, but the organization faces challenges in balancing its members' interests and global oil market dynamics

Muammar Qadhafi will remain head of state in Libya, supported by his family and trusted aides. The government will focus on economic reform, particularly privatization, to strengthen global economic ties and attract foreign investment. However, political change will be limited and economic progress slow, constrained by bureaucracy and reversals. Reform will prioritize developing hydrocarbons over other sectors. Economic growth will remain strong but inflation will rise slightly.
This document provides a summary of key political figures and leadership positions in Libya. It outlines that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has led Libya since 1969 as the "Leader of the Revolution" and "Brother Leader" through a combination of playing off interest groups and brutal suppression of dissent. It also introduces Prime Minister Shukri Ghanem, who favors economic reforms but has limited power, and Foreign Minister Abd el-Rahman Shalgam, who is close to Gaddafi and instrumental in negotiations that reduced Libya's international isolation. Additionally, it briefly describes Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the son being groomed to succeed his father who is influential but faces rivalry from his brother Saadi.
The document summarizes security issues in Libya as of 2006. It notes that Libya experienced an Islamist insurgency in the 1990s that sought to overthrow the regime, but the regime succeeded in suppressing these groups by the late 1990s. Currently there is no major terrorist or insurgent threat, though some remnants may still operate. The regime remains vigilant against potential Islamist opponents. Human trafficking is also considered a major organized crime issue in Libya. While the government has introduced laws to address problems like trafficking and drugs, they have had limited effectiveness. Overall, the regime maintains stability as long as oil revenues continue, but faces challenges in balancing reforms with maintaining power.
This document provides a summary of a study titled "Politics and Society in North Africa and the Middle East between Reform and Conflict. Trends in Development up to the Year 2010". The study analyzes political, economic, and social developments in the region, and identifies key risk factors and areas of potential conflict. It finds that governments have largely been unwilling or unable to implement reforms to modernize their economies and societies. Socioeconomic challenges like unemployment, poverty and lack of resources could trigger further conflicts. Ideological debates around cultural and religious identity have also intensified and may hinder reforms. The study concludes that without concerted long-term strategies to promote structural reform and modernization, socio-political conflicts in the region will likely continue
The document discusses world oil resources, including conventional and unconventional sources. It notes that while conventional oil reserves have remained largely unchanged since the 1960s, unconventional sources like oil sands and shale oil are far more abundant, with earth estimated to hold 45,000 billion barrels of unconventional oil. The largest unconventional reserves are in Canada's Athabasca oil sands and Venezuela's Orinoco basin, together accounting for over two-thirds of world heavy and extra-heavy oil production. While unconventional oil recovery is more difficult, up to 1,000 billion barrels may eventually be producible. OPEC members, led by Saudi Arabia, hold around 75% of world crude oil reserves according to current estimates
The document discusses the history and development of the petroleum and natural gas industries. It traces how political involvement has shaped the industry over time, from the formation of OPEC in 1960 to push back control from major oil companies, to the Arab oil embargo of 1973 which significantly increased prices and shifted power to OPEC. It also provides background on the locations of petroleum refineries, focusing on clustering near oil sources, markets, or ports for transportation. Finally, it gives a brief overview of natural gas, including its composition, production by country, and some challenges around storage and transportation.

- Libya's oil production is projected to more than double to 650,000 bpd in 2014 but demand will be limited due to risks of disruptions from ongoing instability.
- BP's PSVM deepwater oil project in Angola began production in late 2012, consisting of four oil fields connected to an FPSO through subsea infrastructure.
- Independent oil company IPR discovered a significant gas condensate field in Egypt's Western Desert with initial well tests showing 404,930 cubic meters of gas and 1,000 barrels of condensate per day.
The document discusses several key topics related to the oil industry:
1. It defines measurements used to classify types of crude oil, such as API gravity, and categories like light, medium, and heavy crude.
2. It introduces important oil benchmarks like West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude, which are used to price other crude oils around the world.
3. It discusses the work of geologist M. King Hubbert and his theory of peak oil production, which accurately predicted the peak of US oil production in the 1970s. His model is now widely used to predict production peaks for other resources.
This document provides an overview of petroleum energy, including its formation from fossil fuels, history of usage, refining process, reserves and supply sources, demand trends, and factors that influence oil stock levels and prices. It discusses how oil is formed from ancient plant and animal remains over millions of years, the beginnings of the modern oil industry in Pennsylvania in 1859, and how crude oil is refined into useful products like gasoline and plastics. The largest oil reserves and production are centered in the Middle East, while North America has the highest consumption. Stocks of 7-8 billion barrels worldwide help stabilize prices by balancing supply and demand.
- Libya's oil production is projected to more than double to 650,000 barrels per day in 2014, but ongoing instability and security issues will limit demand for Libyan crude. Militias still control much of Libya's oil export infrastructure.
- The PSVM deepwater oil project in Angola's block 31, operated by BP, began production in late 2012. Consisting of four oil fields connected to an FPSO, PSVM is expected to produce up to 150,000 barrels per day and is a major development for deepwater production in Africa.
- Multiple companies were awarded contracts to supply equipment and services for the subsea infrastructure for the PSVM project, including flowlines, risers, umbilicals,
- Libya's oil production is projected to more than double to 650,000 barrels per day in 2014, but ongoing instability and security issues will limit demand for Libyan crude.
- Militias still control much of Libya's oil export infrastructure two years after the revolution, with 58% of export capacity remaining offline due to conflicts in eastern Libya.
- The PSVM deepwater oil project in Angola's block 31, consisting of four fields between 1,500-2,500 meters deep, began production in December 2012 and is expected to eventually produce 150,000 barrels per day. It is operated by BP and involves extensive subsea infrastructure.
The document provides a summary of Bilal Ilahi's educational and professional experience working in the oil industry. It then discusses various topics related to crude oil including reserves, production, consumption, pricing, refining, and the factors that influence supply and demand of oil on global markets.
The document discusses the falling price of crude oil and investigates the reasons behind it. It provides background on the importance of energy and oil throughout history. It then explains what shale oil is, the process of pyrolysis used to extract it, and how technology has advanced from ex situ to in situ extraction methods. Finally, it discusses factors like the success of hydraulic fracturing in the US and environmental concerns around the process.
Crude oil is a naturally occurring unrefined petroleum product composed mainly of hydrocarbons that is extracted from geological formations beneath the Earth's surface. It has a long history of use dating back to the 18th century and is a finite resource with current reserves expected to last 53 more years. The price of crude oil is influenced by production and consumption levels globally, as well as geopolitical and economic factors. It is traded on commodities exchanges and its price impacts various industries and global markets.
1. The document discusses global energy trade and how there has been a significant increase in the export of fuels from the Middle East and former Soviet Union as well as increases in imports by Europe, Asia, and other regions.
2. It also discusses peak oil theory which states that oil production follows a bell curve and will eventually peak and decline as it is a finite resource. Many argue global peak oil production has already occurred or will soon.
3. After peak oil, annual production is expected to decline by 3% each year, exacerbating the growing gap between supply and rising demand, leading to high oil prices and economic impacts.
The document discusses the oil and gas industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It notes that the UAE has significant oil and natural gas reserves, accounting for one-third of the country's GDP. Abu Dhabi is the center of the UAE's oil and gas industry, home to companies like the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. The document provides details on the UAE's historical development of its oil and gas resources, current production levels and exports, key companies involved, and outlook for future demand and prices.
The document provides information on the global oil and gas industry and India's upstream oil and gas sector. It discusses the formation and accumulation of oil and natural gas over millions of years. It then outlines India's history of oil exploration, beginning in the late 19th century in Assam. It describes the development of India's upstream sector, including the role of national oil companies ONGC and OIL. It also summarizes India's oil and gas production, consumption, and sedimentary basins with exploration potential.
Egypt has significant oil and gas reserves and is actively exploring to increase reserves. While oil production has declined from older fields, intensive exploration efforts have led to new discoveries. Egypt has well-defined plans to increase production of refined products and petrochemicals by expanding existing facilities and developing a new large export-oriented refining and petrochemical complex. Egypt aims to add value to its natural gas resources through LNG exports and a growing petrochemical industry as part of its long-term strategy.

Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer, with proven reserves of 37 billion barrels of oil and 180 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. It produces an average of 2.1 million barrels of oil per day, though production has fluctuated due to issues like oil theft. Shell is the largest operator, producing over 50% of Nigeria's oil and gas. No significant investments have been made in exploration since 2006, so reserves have not grown despite ongoing production. Future production could double to 4 million barrels daily with investments, but may fall 40% by 2020 without them.
Crude oil is a black liquid extracted from underground that consists of hydrocarbon compounds from ancient animal and plant matter. It remains liquid under normal temperatures and can be distilled into products like gasoline. The top crude oil producing countries are Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United States. Crude oil is the world's most important commodity and is used across many industries and economies.
