Weyant, J P

The basic oil-supply situation continues despite a two-year glut and lower real prices, but the author warns that the world remains vulnerable to supply disruptions during a glut, especially one that could disappear before 1990. He uses three scenarios involving a minimum-duration glut, a maximum-duration glut, and a price break to explore these ideas and to push for better oil policies than simple decontrol. Government intervention, he feels, is justified in the oil import markets, oil products taxes, and oil-stockpile fill rates. 4 tables. (DCK)
