Die Aussicht auf einen Militärschlag gegen den Irak bringt nicht nur Bewegung in die Entwicklung des Ölpreises. Sie löst auch weitergehende Spekulationen darüber aus, welche Bedeutung die irakischen Ölreserven und Produktionsmöglichkeiten für die Motivation der Amerikaner haben könnte, im Irak einzugreifen. Wenn der irakische Außenminister Naji Sabri die USA anklagt, daß es ihr in Wirklichkeit darum ginge, »den Irak zu zerstören, um das Öl des Nahen Ostens unter Kontrolle zu bekommen«, so spricht er einen Vorwurf aus, der in vielen, auch westlichen Kommentaren mitschwingt. Washington wiederum streitet strikt ab, daß das Öl ein Motiv für die Androhung einer militärischen Intervention im Irak darstelle, nicht aber, daß eine solche Intervention Auswirkungen auf den internationalen Ölmarkt habe.

Oil age Eskimos are different from pre-oil age Eskimos but not that different. Like their predecessors, indeed, like themselves twenty years ago, oil age Eskimos are hunters, fishers, and gatherers. They have "subsistence life-styles" in which the bulk of their diet is extracted from their environment. The oil age for Eskimos is very recent; it has not even spanned a single generation. Aided and abetted by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA), which extinguished native claims to land, water, and naturally occurring, renewable resources in Alaska, multinational corporations swooped onto Prudhoe Bay on the coast of the Beaufort Sea in northeastern Alaska. Oil wells were drilled, oil pipelines and holding tanks were constructed, and oil was pumped.

A comprehensive reference book on current developments in oil supply and demand. The first part of this publication contains key data on world production, trade, prices and consumption of major oil product groups, with time series back to the early 1970s. The second part gives a more detailed and comprehensive picture of oil supply, demand, trade, production and consumption by end-user for each OECD country individually and for the OECD regions. Trade data are reported extensively by origin and destination. Oil Information is one of a series of annual IEA statistical publications on major ener
