Oil Is A Non Replenishable Source

Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.

The main usages of petroleum are bunker fuel, detergent, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil, paint, photographic film, food additives, make up, medicine, and candles etc. Actually, the petroleum usages are very broad. If the country is experiencing oil shortage, everything must be very expensive. You may eat some food with food additives, which is a material from petroleum, in your stomach, even though you do not drive or travel around the world by airplanes. Moreover, petroleum has a lot of advantages to generate electricity. It is easy to transport and store because it is a liquid. Compared with natural gas, natural gas is hard to extract and store because it is gas. Natural gas requires higher technology to extract and store it. Moreover, the density of petroleum is higher than natural gas and coal. We can save more room to store petroleum. For government’s aspect, they may want to use some energy, which are stable and easy to store. Although the renewable energy is unlimited and eco-friendly, the costs of built and operate it are expensive. So, the fossil fuels are the best energy for us to use now. Peak oil crises affect our life, and we cannot find any energy to replace it.

After reviewing the country study that was presented to the CEO of Shell Oil, Shell Oil has decided to proceed with the recommendation to expand to Albania.

Turkey has 81 provinces, with approximately 20 major cities populating millions, and continues to grow each year. Turkey’s rising middle class has resulted in an explosion of consumer demand. The country is home to a young, educated labor force with over half of the population under the age of thirty; this makes the market huge and dynamic for international investors. Over the last year Turkish firms and individuals invested $228 million dollars in the U.S. In 2014, Turkey’s imports from the U.S. reached $11.6 billion. While this was a slight decline from 2013 ($12 billion) and record-breaking 2011 ($14.7 billion), total U.S.-Turkey trade remained at a near record of $19 billion. Over 1,000 small, medium and large U.S. firms have already opened offices in Turkey. Given its close proximity to markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, Turkey serves as a regional hub for many of these firms (U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Turkey, Why Turkey?).

Oil is a finite resource that is ever diminishing in quantity. In coming years, it will become very scarce and hard to find. While everyone is starting to find solutions to compensate for the imminent forgoing of oil, such as car industries being one of the main ones as they use oil to run their machines mostly, it will be a while before oil can be replaced completely by other things. Even with said replacements, functions that used to be handled by oil will be diverse and complex in nature such as the multiple different energy sources being tested today. Some temporary solutions that are meant to delay the end of oil, and prolong its stay is the method of extracting oil unconventionally. Oil industries and governments across the globe are

World oil demand is increasing as emerging economies need more energy to increase their living standards. Estimates, shown below, are that by 2030, China and India as emerging markets will import over 70% to 90% of their fossil fuel needs (1) . Coupled to a continued high and growing demand for oil, makes this a robust market for the next 30 years.

A key aim in this report is focusing on how a business in Turkey can be established

Kazakhstan is endowed with rich oil reserves, which provide an important source of revenues for stable economic growth and improvement of the country 's living standard. This paper addresses the challenge the Republic of Kazakhstan faces in managing its oil supply chain. The country 's capacity for refining crude oil is minimal and a substantial portion of that refining capacity is outside the Republic; added to that, most of the pipelines and refineries to export oil to international markets are jointly managed by the Republic and multinational corporations (MNCs). Thus there are political, technological and financial risks for the republic 's oil supply chain.

Kuwait is one of the 12 members of the OPEC countries, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. According to the organization, these members produce about 81 percent of the total oil produced in the world. In the recent past, there have been rumors about the country not producing as much oil as it is proving that it does (Cobb, 2012). It cannot be said with certainty whether or not the oil reserves of Kuwait are depleting, however, this subject is important for discussion because the whole world depends on oil reserves of the major oil producing countries. All the issues, economic or political, revolve around one country wanting to take over the other for its all reserves. In this paper, we shall discuss the presence of oil reserves in Kuwait and some news pertaining to their depletion and overstatement. We shall also address this topic in another aspect; the oil depletion protocol.

There are many areas that should be covered this study, whereas the main focus is on Bahrain field and what is available to assist within the process of gathering and reaching company’s vision i.e. meeting energy future demands in line with Bahrain economic vision 2030. I will research on the operation of oil and gas within Bahrain field.

Crude oil and its byproducts since its discovery is one of the most basic input to the world particularly for energy. It is important to human existence and also, finite in supply. It has several other uses which include: hydrocarbons for plastic, pharmaceutical, and other basic day to day items. More so, most of our equipments depends on oil and its product to enable them work. Like every other product that is traded in the international market, oil prices are influenced by its demand and supply in the market and also its type. Various shocks have made the price fluctuate and it can be said to be one of the most volatile product in terms of its response to

Saudi Arabia is the largest oil and natural gas producer of oil in the world attributed to its vast reservoir (Jasimuddin, 2001). The economic growth seen over the years has been dependent upon exploration and production of oil for local and international market (Jasimuddin, 2001). Oil in Saudi contributes up to 40% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and an approximate 80% of its annual revenue (Elachola & Memish, 2016). Largely, the exports that emanate from Saudi Arabia to the tune of 90% are from oil and natural gas products (2016). The country has invested a lot of capital in the exploration and production of oil over the years (2016). Saudi Arabia has enjoyed a competitive advantage over the rest of oil producers for the better part of the 21st century(2016). The world is experiencing a fall in the oil prices now due to a shift in the demand and supply curve. Consequently, Saudi Arabia is beginning to lose its competitive age due to the continuous fall in oil prices (2016). Currently, the world’s oil price is at $42 per barrel and has been fluctuating unpredictably to as low as $30 per barrel (2016). Saudi Arabia is mostly dependent on oil and the continuous fall in prices puts it at risk of economic crisis(2016). Subsequently as the strategy advisor and policy commissioner, by using Porter’s Model of Diamond of National Advantage, it will give the impact oil prices have on the country.

Kuwait is the 38th largest export economy in the world. It is estimated that the country reserves eight to ten percent of the worlds oil reserves. Kuwait is the world’s eight biggest exporter and the tenth largest producer of petroleum. The oil revenues constitute the main source of income of the state’s revenues. As reported by Trading Economics, 95 percent of their total export is due to the shipments of crude and refined oil. By the second quarter of 2015 their exports increased from 4063.70 KWD million (13380.7 USD million) in the first quarter to 4842.40 KWD million (16082.5 USD million). In addition, Peak Oil Barrel, made it simple to understand how much this country produces, in thousand, barrels per day. Examining the graph, its evidence the amount of oil produce each day is what brings this small country billions of dollars each year. They also export other minor items such as various types of metals.

With Turkey predominantly following a Muslim culture, foreign businesses looking to invest in the Turkish Market must consider the opportunities and threats regarding this. Also taking into consideration family values and cultural traditions. Businesses from the Arab world would be able to conduct business with more ease than a European country due to the cultural similarities and conduct of doing business.

Azerbaijan is an oil-rich country whose gross national income per capita has increased approximately ten times since 2001. Economic growth has been driven by the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, high levels of public expenditure, and state reforms to support a market-based economy. Despite significant growth, the economy of Azerbaijan remains largely dependent on the extraction and production of oil, which amounted to about 40% of GDP, 95% of national exports and 64 % of total fiscal revenues in 2013-2014.
