  1. The poker over pipelines for oil and gas Evelyn Fuchs Thomas Maier Ines Sturm

  2. World primary energy consumption of oil and natural gas • Global oil consumption declined by 1.2 million barrels per day • Global consumption of natural gas declined in all regions except the Middle and Asia Pacific.

  3. World‘s proved oil reserves 2009 BP Statistical Report 2009

  4. World‘s proved gas reserves 2009 BP Statistical Report 2009

  5. Environmental impacts • Human, socio-economic and cultural impacts • Atmospheric impacts • Aquatic impacts • Terrestrial impacts • Ecosystem impacts • Potential emergencies • Environmental impacts in the context of protection policies and requirements

  6. World‘s poker over pipelines (I) • If you own a pipeline, it‘s like having a trump - secure high profits - political influence - political competition • Often political and economical interests are contradictory - companies search for the cheapest route to transport the resource - this can make certain countries too powerful because they have various interests to their benefit

  14. Alternative possibilities for Pipelines • Transportation by Tankers • Transport of oil by tanker is as risky as pumping oil through underwater pipelines • Transportation by Trains • Infringements of regulations concerned with handling dangerous loads • Human error and bad management • Train collisions • Mechanical impact on the train

  15. Potential expectations for the future • World primary energy demand • Demand in 2030 • Forecasts

  16. Potential expectations for the future • World Energy Trends: • World pirmary energy demand will continue to grow • Fossil fuels will continue to account for over 80 % of primary energy supply • Oil will continue to account the largest share of primary energy • Increasing shares of oil, gas and coal will be traded internationally Source: Recent Developments and their Implications for Arab Countries
