Download or read book Pacific Crude Oil Demands An International Concern written by Lawrence J. Ogden and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific Area as a whole has a great deficit in crude oil resources and, like much of the world, is heavily dependent upon the Middle East. In spite of the great growth of industrial bases and refining capabilities, with their commensurate increase in requirements, crude oil production has not increased significantly in 20 years. In fact, percentage wise--requirements versus production--the Pacific is far worse off, particularly the great industrial giant, Japan. Prospects are beginning to brighten in the area with surveys indicating potential major oil fields. One of the most promising areas involves conflict of interest between Japan and China. This is further compounded by Peking's admission to, and Taipei's expulsion from, the United Nations. The coping with these problems, technologically and diplomatically, is a challenge of international concern in the next decade. (Author).
Download or read book Oil in the Sea III written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention to oil spills has forced improvements. Still, a considerable amount of oil is discharged yearly into sensitive coastal environments. Oil in the Sea provides the best available estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concerns these loads represent. Featuring close-up looks at the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for better analysis ofâ€"and more effective measures againstâ€"pollutant discharge. The book discusses: Inputâ€"where the discharges come from, including the role of two-stroke engines used on recreational craft. Behavior or fateâ€"how oil is affected by processes such as evaporation as it moves through the marine environment. Effectsâ€"what we know about the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marine organisms and ecosystems. Providing a needed update on a problem of international importance, this book will be of interest to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.

Even in its aftermath, trends in the world oil market are unclear.Global Oil Trends provides a detailed assessment and long-term perspective of the global oil market in general and the Asia-Pacific market in particular. The 1990 oil crisis is reviewed and the possible impact of growing environmental concerns on the oil industry is discussed. For the last two decades oil demand in the Asia-Pacific region has been the highest in the world and this trend is expected to continue into the future. Global Oil Trends analyses the role of the Asia-Pacific region in the world oil market, discusses the regional oil supply-demand balance, the prospects for the trading of oil products, and the development of the oil refining industry in the region.Global Oil Trends is valuable not only for those in the oil industry but also for academicians, energy planners, university students who are concerned with the global oil situation and the dynamism of the Asia-Pacific oil market.

Download or read book The Distributional Implications of the Impact of Fuel Price Increases on Inflation written by Mr. Kangni R Kpodar and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the response of consumer price inflation to changes in domestic fuel prices, looking at the different categories of the overall consumer price index (CPI). We then combine household survey data with the CPI components to construct a CPI index for the poorest and richest income quintiles with the view to assess the distributional impact of the pass-through. To undertake this analysis, the paper provides an update to the Global Monthly Retail Fuel Price Database, expanding the product coverage to premium and regular fuels, the time dimension to December 2020, and the sample to 190 countries. Three key findings stand out. First, the response of inflation to gasoline price shocks is smaller, but more persistent and broad-based in developing economies than in advanced economies. Second, we show that past studies using crude oil prices instead of retail fuel prices to estimate the pass-through to inflation significantly underestimate it. Third, while the purchasing power of all households declines as fuel prices increase, the distributional impact is progressive. But the progressivity phases out within 6 months after the shock in advanced economies, whereas it persists beyond a year in developing countries.
