OPEC Leader Issues Warning About Iran and Oil Supply
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
World demand for oil will grow by 50% between now and 2030 as people in developing countries drive more cars, oil producers' group Opec says. (article 2) Opec said that years of relatively low oil prices had led to under investment in oil production, leaving the industry unable to meet increased demand driven by booming economies such as China. (article 2) Oil prices rebounded by more than $5 a barrel Thursday, as another missile launch by Iran stoked worries that escalating political tensions in the Middle East could cut off supplies out of the region. (article 7) The Group of Eight leaders want countries that are awash in oil to ramp up their production and refining capabilities to bring skyrocketing oil prices back down to earth. (article 10) The leaders of the world's richest nations also encouraged countries that import oil to improve their energy efficiency and seek other sources of fuel. (article 10) Crude oil prices fell to about $136 a barrel, well down on the record price of almost $147 set in London last week. (article 6) An international cartel of oil smugglers steals billions of dollars in "blood oil" from Nigeria, trading it for guns, the president has said. (article 9)
