OPEC • Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries • Created in 1960, HQ in Vienna • Objective: co-ordinate and unify petroleum policies among Member Countries, in order to secure fair and stable prices for petroleum producers • OPEC Member Countries produce about 45 percent of the world's crude oil and 18 percent of its natural gas. • OPEC's oil exports represent about 55 percent of the crude oil traded internationally. • In 2007, the U.S. imported almost 2 billion barrels of crude oil from OPEC of a total of around 3.7 billions barrels (most non OPEC is from Mexico and Canada) Sources: www.opec.com and www.usa.gov

  17. China's Quest for Oil • How much oil does China consume? • Why did the oil demand increase so quickly? • Where does the oil come from? • Implications for U.S.-China relations 

  18. How much oil does China consume?

  19. The oil consumption: China VS. US • US consumes about 20-21 million barrels of crude oil per day • China consumes a little more than1/3 of the consumption of US. • But China’s oil consumption grows by 7.5% per year, seven times faster than the U.S. Source:http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/China's_Energy_Appetite

  20. Why did the oil demand increase so quickly? • Mainly because of a large-scale transition away from bicycles and mass transit toward private automobiles • by year 2010 China is expected to have 90 times more cars than in 1990 • projections show that China could surpass the total number of cars in the U.S. by 2030

  22. Where does the oil come from? • China became a net oil importer in 1993 and is growingly dependent on foreign oil. • China currently imports 32% of its oil. • A report by the ”International Energy Agency” predicted that by 2030, Chinese oil imports will equal imports by the U.S. today.

  23. China oil imports • Today, 58% of China's oil imports come from the Middle east • By 2015, the share of Middle East oil will stand on 70%

  24. Implications for U.S.-China relations: Middle East oil will become a key issue

  25. The short-term vs. long-term • In the short term, China and U.S. may maintain good relations and enjoy the economic benefits derived from such cooperation. • In the long run, Chinese leaders feel that the U.S. seeks to dominate the Persian Gulf in order to exercise control over its energy resources and that it tries to contain China's aspirations in the region. • The U.S. is considered a threat to China's long-term energy security.
