- pattern: oil consumption has been
increasing since it was first
discovered
- trend: since the early 1980s oil
consumption has gone up drastically,

decrease before rising again
- United States
- production
- Venezuela
- pattern: have been consistently
producing oil for decades,
though there were some steep
declines in 1999 and 2003
- trend: oil production is much
less than it was in the 1980s

- Saudi Arabia
- pattern: produce a large amount of oil but

- Venezuela
- consumption
- contentions
- political
- international relations: if a
country needs to import oil,
they must maintain good
relations
- carbon tax: if this is introduced, it
makes oil more expensive and
alternative options become more
appealing
- international relations: if a
country needs to import oil,
they must maintain good
relations
- economic
- invest in alternatives: as oil runs out,
more energy companies and countries will
invest in other sources
- price of oil: more countries are developing
and with more people demanding oil, the
price steadily increases
- invest in alternatives: as oil runs out,
more energy companies and countries will
invest in other sources
- environmental
- oil spills: when transporting oil by sea or
pipelines, there is always a risk. the oil causes
immediate damage to the environment but
also long term effects to be seen later
- greenhouse effect/global warming: fossil
fuels (like oil) are the major contributors so
it's becoming more important to stop relying
so much on oil and look into other options
- oil spills: when transporting oil by sea or
pipelines, there is always a risk. the oil causes
immediate damage to the environment but
also long term effects to be seen later
- social
- Human cost: people go
through some extreme
lengths to gain/protect oil and
many have died even
- exploitation of workers: many
unskilled and poor people are
hired by oil companies to do the
more dangerous jobs
- Human cost: people go
through some extreme
lengths to gain/protect oil and
many have died even
- political

- Q-meaning
- pattern: Middle east, Africa,
Russia produces the
most oil (200 mil tons)
- anomaly: Venezuela (S.
America) also produces a
LOT of oil (50-199.9 mil tons)
- anomaly: Venezuela (S.
America) also produces a
LOT of oil (50-199.9 mil tons)
- oil production will continue
to reach its peak in
countries and decline
- will continue to find
oil/have reserves
- consider anti and
neo-Malthuasian views
- pattern: Middle east, Africa,
Russia produces the
most oil (200 mil tons)
- As the population grows and countries develop, oil will
be consumed and produced more and more causing
economic, environmental, social, and political problems in
addition to a shortage.
