Kilian, Lutz, Not All Oil Price Shocks are Alike: Disentangling Demand and Supply Shocks in the Crude Oil Market (December 2006).
I –INTRODUCTION
Crude Oil Definition: A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in natural underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. Depending upon the characteristics of the crude stream, it may also include 1. Small amounts of hydrocarbons that exist in gaseous phase in natural underground reservoirs but are liquid at atmospheric pressure after being recovered from oil well (casing head) gas in lease separators and are subsequently comingled with the crude stream without being separately measured. Lease condensate recovered as a liquid from natural gas wells in lease or field separation facilities and later mixed into the crude stream is also included; 2. Small amounts of nonhydrocarbons produced with the oil, such as sulfur and various metals; 3. Drip gases, and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, oil sands, gilsonite, and oil shale. Liquids produced at natural gas processing plants are excluded. Crude oil is refined to produce a wide array of petroleum products, including heating oils; gasoline, diesel and jet fuels; lubricants; asphalt; ethane, propane, and butane; and many other products used for their energy or chemical content.
Egypt is the largest oil producer in Africa that is not a member of the organization of petroleum exporting countries (OPEC), and the second largest natural gas producer in the continent, following Algeria. Egypt also plays a vital role in the international energy markets through the operation of the Suez canal and the Suez-Mediterranean (SUMED) pipeline, important transit points for oil and liquefied natural gas(LNG) shipment form Africa and Persian gulf states to Europe and the Mediterranean basin. Fees collected from operation of these two transit points are significant revenue to the Egyptian

    Crude oil prices are determined by worldwide supply and demand, which is why as countries around the world developing rapidly, the demand for and price of gas increases rapidly. Natural disasters and Political conflicts in major oil producing regions such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq can also affect the price of gas. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) also has significant influence over the price of crude oil because its members produce over 40% of the world’s supply of oil and own more than two-thirds of the world’s estimated oil reserves.(2)…

    The most significant factor in the production of gas is crude oil. The prices in gas fall and rise due to the cost of crude which is established by supply and demand on the global commodities market. During the recession in 2008 and 2009, the gas prices went down because of less demand. However, as the economy progresses, the demand is rising. In the meantime with conflict in the Middle East and North Africa, the supply is at risk. With both the rising demand and the risk of reduced supply, gas prices are increasing. Crude oil comprises of more than 65 % of what Americans pay at the pump. In addition, gas prices are impacted by costs of refining, distribution, government and marketing taxes (API, 2013).

    In October of 1973, OPEC announced that it would increase the price of oil by 70% by cutting production by 25% and a production cut of 5% each month after (Yurgin). At the time, oil was selling for $3. This shock caused the price to increase to $5.12 (Reid). Two days after this initial shock, the price increased again to $11.65. This would cause a new aggregate supply curve left of the original supply curve (decrease in supply). This didn’t have a great effect on demand because oil demand was calculated at the time to have a -.3 to -.35 slope (Issawi). The slope is otherwise known as inelastic demand. The price of oil would increase without there being much of an effect in demand. The price of oil increased by four times, but the world oil output only decreased 7%.…

    People are trying to reduce the consumption level of expensive products due to their low disposable income and limited purchasing power. Especially, the people of middle class income level are trying to find substitute energy resources of oil and gas due to hike in oil and gas price (Shelley 27). Apart from economic issues, the global oil and gas exploration and production industry is suffering from several global political issues. Several under developed and developing countries have to pay high petroleum tax to the oil and gas producing countries in order to improve the crude oil. High tension and critical political conflicts between several countries are affecting the growth of this global oil and gas exploration and production industry. In addition to these, several countries have developed strict regulations regarding the extraction of oil and gas. Extraction of oil and gas from oil mine requires the uses of several deadly chemicals. It can affect the global ecological balance. Looking into this issue, the government of several countries developed strict rules and regulations regarding the extraction of oil. It is expected that the number of total oil reservoirs and mines can be decreased due to these issues and challenges. Government of United States provides a huge public subsidy to the oil and gas companies (Odell 49). Moreover, the government of United States provides…

    The United States consumes more than 25% of the world’s petroleum products which is a large percentage, considering only 3% of the world’s oil reserves are produced by the United States. Given the demand for petroleum products such as gasoline, understanding why Crude oil prices have skyrocketed in recent years, is not hard. According to the article “Ending America’s Oil Addiction,” the surge in crude oil prices can be reduced in large part to the simple concepts of supply and demand. (Cooper, 2008)…
