  1. OIL PRICES In what has been defined as “The New Economy of oil”, oil prices in the past did not follow a steady trend, and the record shows a behavior of “episodes” guided either by a core cartel of exhaustible resources The New Economy of Oil The Royal Institute of International Affairs-2001.

  2. The New Concept The new episode as defined by this concept will be driven by two other issues : Competition from other fuels, especially Natural Gas. Reduction of massive structural surpluses of oil production capacity creates inthe time of price shocks In 1973 and 1979, restraining competition when prices are at survival levels.

  6. Building up of oil stocks in order to mitigate price volatility Development of a commodity market that includes futures options Starting with heating oil futures in 1978, energy futures and options on the NYME have grown and profoundly changed energy marketing Global Oil Supply Disruptions To avoid the potential impact of oil supply disruptions consumer countries have reacted in different way:

  20. LNG will create a spot market for natural gas Currently, markets for LNG are strongly influenced by oil and oil products markets. As the use and trade of natural gas continues to grow, there is a challenge for developing price mechanisms that facilitate international trade Concluding remarks There is no spot market for natural gas. Gas price depends on long term contacts signed between supply and demand.
