The IEA views current prices as too high, especially for developing countries and considering threats to economic growth worldwide Little doubt that the oil market has been affected by financial crisis Weaker dollar explains some of the higher price But oil prices are higher in all currencies Analysis of fund flows gives different results we really do not have enough data financial and fundamental

Total investment = $21.9 trillion (in $2006)

OECD/IEA - 2008

Almost half of all investment needs to 2030 of $22 trillion are in the oil and gas sectors, primarily upstream.

In any feasible scenario, there will be increasing demand for OPEC oil. Although the situation in 2030 is less certain, decisions that will deliver supply at that time need not be taken today.

Improved efficiency and decarbonising the power sector could bring emissions back to current levels by 2050. To achieve a 50% cut we would also have to revolutionise the transport sector.

Key Messages
The world is facing twin energy-related challenges:
ensuring secure, affordable energy; and managing the environmental consequences of producing, transforming and using that energy

These challenges can be overcome through:


Boosting energy sector investment Improve energy efficiency and promoting new energy technologies Committing to producer-consumer dialogue

In any feasible scenario, there will be demand for oil, and new opportunities will emerge for the oil industry in a low carbon economy WEO-2008 will examine mid-to-long term oil and gas supply prospects and uncertainties
