PETROLEUM IMPORTING DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A NEW OIL FRONTIER

Charalambos Constantinou and Pavel Kral

Natural Resources Forum, 1978, vol. 2, issue 2, 147-156

Abstract: The majority of developing countries depend on imported petroleum to fulfil most of their energy requirements. Many are not able to do so without substantial assistance from abroad. Meanwhile, various studies indicate the existence of a large undiscovered potential of petroleum resources in these countries. In the following article, the authors review some of the proposals for assistance to petroleum importing developing countries, and, at the same time, launch their own proposal for a modest exploration programme in the least developed countries which could enable them to become self‐sufficient in petroleum in the near future.
