An Unstable World Oil Market

M. A. Adelman

The Energy Journal, 1985, vol. 6, issue 1, 17-22

Abstract: There is a permanent surplus because huge low-cost reserves are available for development. The cartel keeps them undeveloped to maintain the price. Their power is great, but they are a "clumsy cartel" and sometimes overreact to produce a shortage. Hence the future is cloudy and threatening, like the recent past.
