Consumption
During the October 1973 war the Arab Oil Producing countries
placed an embargo on oil supply
to America and most of the
European countries and some
other countries such as South
Africa and Rhodesia.
This embargo caused a shortage
of oil and gas globally which led
these countries to follow policies
to reduce consumption and close
factories and limit individual consumption of petroleum which led to
a decline in the average global consumption of oil and gas by 1.5%
and this continued until the year 1975.
The First Gulf War was between the armed forces of Iraq and Iran
and lasted from September 1980
until August of 1988 and this war
was one of the longest traditional
wars of the twentieth century.
In the year 1981 the oil tankers
war began which was targeting the
oil tankers and other ships of the
two countries. The goal was to cut
off supplies to the two fighting
armies and it was only the ships owned by the two countries but was
extended to supporting countries such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In
spite of an effort by the gulf countries to increase production, the
prices of Petroleum began to rise which led to a negative result in
consumption causing a decline.
The World Economic recession of (1980 -1986)
The World Economic recession which led to a decline in demand
for petroleum from 64.3 million barrels
a day (1979) to 58 million barrels a day
in the year 1983 with an average decline
of 3.6% a year and the cause was the
success of energy “guidance”
implemented by the industrial powers
after the crisis of 1983 and also the
undertaking by these countries of
operating its nuclear power stations which led to an acute decline of
consumption of oil and gas.

5Natural Catastrophes
The climatic situation in the world and the change
that has taken place has contributed to the increase in
But as far as gas then Libya will increase production of gas from
2.7 billion cubic feet to more than 3.8 billion cubic feet with the start
5 Development of Fields
The development of the oil fields is the most
important solution with an increase in the global reserves such that
most of the planet soil is unconventional and needs special techniques
of enhanced recovery. And to use these methods the price of the
barrel of oil must reach to 120 to 145 USD so that extraction is
economic.
Unconventional oil
Tar sands, also referred to as oil sands or
bituminous sands, are a combination of clay,
sand, water, and bitumen. Oil which will not flow
toward producing wells under normal conditions,
making it difficult and expensive to produce.
