Crude Awakening paragraph
It’s not hard to guess that oil is the single most important item traded between countries today! There is a stone other wise known as shale. Shale must be heated to 480 degrees Celsius (900 degrees Fahrenheit) in a kiln to give up its oil, how interesting! It’s amazing to think that experts estimate that non- OPEC oil, which comes from places such as the Gulf of Mexico, The North Sea, Norway, and Russia, could peak as early as 2015!. Enormous natural gas fields in Iran, Qatar, Russia, and
Turkmenistan could fuel the world for more than 50 years. Did you know that there is a car built in
Luxembourg, the miniCAT runs not on gasoline but on compressed air, I’m sure everyone wants one of those!? Fast developing nations such as china and
India are putting escalating demands on global supply. OPEC stands for the organization of petroleum exporting countries and includes Algeria , Indonesia , Iran , Iraq , Kuwait , Libya , Nigeria , Qatar , Saudi Arabia , The United Arab Emirates , and Venezuela . Now you know a little more about oil and how it is affecting our world.
