Brief Description:
The aim of the review is to outline the characteristics of the cheap-oil economy and provide an overview of different scenarios for the future development in demand and supply presented by various experienced researchers and institutions that base their analyses on different methodologies.
The review has been prepared by Klaus Illum in collaboration with a workgroup set up to organise the conference and to form a forum for the critical discussion and revision of the review.
The review "Oil-based Technology and Economy - Prospects for the Future" can be downloaded from www.tekno.dk and www.ida.dk (4,8 MB). A preliminary edition of the review was presented at the international conference "Oil-Based Technology and Economy - Prospects for the Future", held in Copenhagen on December 10th 2003.
In the present edition, the Summary has been extended and additions have been made to some other sections. Some additions refer to the presentations at the conference, others to articles published shortly before or after the conference.

Foreword
Oil depletion has been a non-issue in energy policy casting and macro-economic forecasting. However, in 2003 the issue surfaced in the periodicals of the professional community of oil geologists and oil economists, notably in a series of articles in the Oil & Gas Journal, July - August 2003. Recently, there has also been an increase in the number of articles on the issue in newspapers and magazines.
Recognising the world economy’s technological dependence on oil and, hence, the serious consequences of a decline in oil production for which the world community is technologically unprepared, The Danish Board of Technology and The Society of Danish Engineers wish to draw attention to the issue. In pursuance of this objective, our two institutions jointly commissioned this review and organised the conference Oil Demand, Production and Cost - Prospects for the Future, held in Copenhagen on December 10th 2003.
The aim of the review is to outline the characteristics of the cheap-oil economy and provide an overview of different scenarios for the future development in demand and supply presented by various experienced researchers and institutions who base their analyses on different methodologies.
The review has been prepared by Klaus Illum in collaboration with a workgroup set up to organise the conference and to form a forum for the critical discussion and revision of the review drafts.
