Petroleum supply vulnerability, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6413124
An assessment of potential U.S. petroleum supply shortfalls for the year 1985 is presented. The potential 1985 shortfalls vary significantly over various scenarios, ranging from 2.6 to 8.5 million barrels per day (MMBD). As might be expected, the shortfalls increase as the economic growth rate increases. The imposition of an OPEC production capacity constraint dimishes the level of the shortfalls due to the reduced demand growth brought about by increasing world oil prices. Projected OPEC production at constant oil prices is less than the assumed OPEC production capacity.
