Synopses & Reviews
This work provides assessments and analyses of the future relationship of oil and gas to the world economy, and offers policy recommendations for the Gulf region. The position of the Gulf producers in the world energy arena is no longer as secure and stable as it once was, with oil production from non-OPEC countries competing aggressively with OPEC oil. Other factors, including conservation and environmental concerns, and technological developments are covered in detail.
