World Energy Outlook 2005: Middle East and North Africa Insights (World Energy Outlook)

The world is hungry for energy and getting hungrier. The countries of the Middle East and North Africa have vast resources of oil and natural gas which could be developed to meet rising global demand as many supplies elsewhere begin to decline. But resources alone are not enough. Will investment match growth in demand? And will demand continue to surge or will it be curbed by new consumer country policies?. The International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook 2005 answers these challenging questions. In addition to providing updated projections of world energy demand and supply to 2030, it a weo2005_part3.pdf......Page 0 FOREWORD......Page 7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS......Page 9 TABLE OF CONTENTS......Page 18 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY......Page 45 CHAPTER 1 - THE CONTEXT......Page 55 CHAPTER 2 - GLOBAL ENERGY TRENDS......Page 81 CHAPTER 3 - ENERGY TRENDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA AND NORTH AFRICA......Page 107 CHAPTER 4 - OIL OUTLOOK IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA......Page 121 CHAPTER 5 - NATURAL GAS OUTLOOK IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA......Page 169 CHAPTER 6 - ELECTRICITY AND WATER OUTLOOK IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA......Page 189 CHAPTER 7 - DEFERRED INVESTMENT SCENARIO......Page 229 CHAPTER 8 - IMPLICATIONS FOR WORLD ENERGY MARKETS AND GOVERNMENT POLICY......Page 253 CHAPTER 9 - ALGERIA......Page 281 CHAPTER 10 - EGYPT......Page 311 CHAPTER 11 - IRAN......Page 337 CHAPTER 12 - IRAQ......Page 375 CHAPTER 13 - KUWAIT......Page 411 CHAPTER 14 - LIBYA......Page 435 CHAPTER 15 - QATAR......Page 461 CHAPTER 16 - SAUDI ARABIA......Page 487 CHAPTER 17 - UNITED ARAB EMIRATES......Page 533 ANNEX A - TABLES FOR REFERENCE SCENARIO PROJECTIONS......Page 559 ANNEX B - DEFINITIONS, ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS......Page 609 ANNEX C - REFERENCES......Page 619 Annotation This year's edition of this key source for global energy statistics, projections and analysis focuses on trends and developments in the major oil and gas producing countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, in order to assess whether energy production from this region will increase sufficiently to satisfy global demand. In addition to providing updated projections of world energy demand and supply to 2030, the publication analyses regional trends for oil, natural gas, electricity and water desalination with dedicated chapters on Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. It also includes a 'deferred investment scenario' setting out an analysis of how global energy markets might evolve in a changed investment situation; an in-depth analysis of the global refining industry; and a review of the MENA power and water desalination sectors
