Prospects for a tighter world oil market

Journal Article · · Energy J.; (United States)
A higher than expected near-term demand will ease the tension on the world oil market as economic recovery, inventory buildup, and continued hostilities in the Persian Gulf take their effect. Short-run world production capacity will still exceed demand, but the Saudis can make the $29 reference price hold if they have the nerve and skill. A long-term tightening of the market will occur as production capacity declines, but still exceeds, reserve additions. Real prices in the early 1990s could rise by one-third to one-half or more.
