THE GEOPOLITICS OF OIL

It is of course threatening to know that most of the global crude oil sources that the world depends upon locate in the countries infected by political turmoil.

It is a common knowledge that crude oil is the most consumed energy resource in almost every part of the world.

More than 80% of industries and house-hold depend upon oil to fulfill their critical requirements. It’s hard to imagine the sustainability of life without the supply of such petroleum products.

Since, alternative energies like Solar and Hydro are still in their infancy, crude oil yet remain the widest source of energy in the world.

Geographically, Middle-East & North African countries, i.e. Iran, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi-Arabia etc. remains the largest

hub for crude oil resource.
