Book Description

This book is written in non-technical style to appeal both to the non-expert with no prior knowledge of oil and natural gas or geopolitics, as well as oil and gas and geopolitics experts, who are interested in further insights into the potential of East Mediterranean natural gas reserves.

Unlike the previous works that explored the complexities of the global fossil fuel industry, with a particular focus on the Arab world's role within it, examining the market fundamentals, political influences, and the interplay of various factors shaping the energy landscape. this new work shifts its focus to the East Mediterranean, exploring the potential of its natural gas reserves. Driven by a desire to dispel misleading media narratives that often overhype the region's resources and their geopolitical impact. The book presents a rigorous analysis of the actual data, debunking exaggerated expectations and addressing widespread conspiracy theories.

The book also employs a unique approach, utilizing a football game analogy to simplify complex regional and global natural gas dynamics for a wider audience. This engaging framework makes the intricate interplay of geopolitical factors, market forces, and regional power struggles more accessible, even for readers unfamiliar with the technical aspects of the natural gas industry.

This book is arranged in five chapters. It starts by giving a brief introduction on natural gas and its role in the ongoing energy transition. Then it analyses the Eastern Mediterranean Region, focusing on political and hydrocarbon related issues. It then follows with a detailed analysis of the natural gas status in each of the countries (players) in the region along with some other countries that also influence the narrative. The concluding chapter brings the story together, joining all the dots and putting it all in perspective. Since this book is not intended to be technical, interested readers can access essential technical definitions and data in the appendices, if they desire.

Book Description

This book is written in non-technical style to appeal both to the non-expert with no prior knowledge of oil and natural gas, as well as oil and gas experts, who are interested in further insights on the future of Arab world and its oil and gas sector.

This book is the third in a series that spans the most significant decade in the history of the Oil Industry. The first title, “Fossil Fuels in the Arab world: Facts and Fiction”, examined the three types of fossil fuels: oil (petroleum), natural gas, and coal (which are in essence convertible); describing mankind’s dependence on fossil fuels (particularly oil) and assessing the position of the Arab world in this picture.

The second title, “Fossil Fuels in the Arab world: Seasons Reversed” reviewed the questions posed earlier, discussing the fossil fuel market and the Arab world’s place within that; political influences, corruption, democracy and militarisation in the Arab world and their interplay with oil and natural gas and finally, public relations, perceptions or concerns, where climate change and alternative energy issues were explored.

This third book picks up the story five years later examining the status of the industry and coinciding with the seismic event, the Covid-19 pandemic. The question discussed is in relation to the Arab world’s management of its oil and natural gas wealth wondering if the Arabs have missed the boat? Or can they find a place in a new energy world, where the energy transition is rapidly transforming behaviour and attitudes?

This book is structured into four parts totalling six chapters. Part I consists of two chapters and reviews briefly the events of the last five years and placing them in context. Part II is the detailed core analysis consisting of two detailed chapters describing oil and natural gas supply and demand and energy transition. Part III contains detailed supportive analysis, where a comprehensive investigation of the transportation sector and its effects on oil and natural gas market. Part IV is the concluding chapter, all the threads are woven together to form the bigger picture, identifying uncertainties and in as much as is possible, posing questions to predict what will transpire in the next couple of decades.

Availability

Book Description

This book is written in non-technical style to appeal both to the non-expert with no prior knowledge of oil and natural gas, as well as oil and gas experts, who are interested in further insights on the future of Arab world and its oil and gas sector.

This book answers the eight questions posed five years ago in the author’s previous book “Fossil Fuels in the Arab World: Facts and Fiction” addressing mankind’s dependence on fossil fuels and the position of Arab countries in this international industry. In addition, it examined fossil fuels in relation to alternative energy, and from political perspectives.

The book answers the eight questions from “three perspectives”: market fundamentals, understanding the fossil fuel market fundamentals and the place of the Arab world within that; political influences, corruption & cultural norms in business dealings, the developing democracy and militarisation in the Arab world and their interplay with oil and gas are addressed and finally, public relations, perceptions or concerns, where climate change and alternative energy questions are explored in detail.

This book is structured into three parts totalling seven chapters. Part I consists of two chapters and reviews briefly the events of the last five years and puts them in context, then revisits the conclusions in the previous book, and examines if they still stand, and provides a current update. Part II is the core analysis consisting of four detailed chapters, in which answers to all eight questions from the previous book are provided. Sets of data addressing the “three defined perspectives” are presented. Finally, Part III is the concluding chapter, which connects all the threads of the analysis and looks at the bigger picture. Here again more questions are asked and offer predictions of what is likely to happen in the future.

Fossil Fuels in the Arab World: Facts and Fiction

Global and Arab Insights of Oil, Natural Gas & Coal

by

Basel Nashat Asmar

Is the Arab world indispensable for global energy security? This book tells you the facts!

Description

Availability

Book Description

The book is written in a non-technical style to appeal to both the non expert readers, with no prior knowledge of oil, natural gas or coal, as well as oil & gas and energy experts, who seek detailed analysis of the fossil fuels availability and future in the Arab world. It gives general idea about oil, natural gas and coal and poses many questions to the readers to consider before giving answers that will challenge the “accepted wisdom” of many facts fed to the general public by the media. Just think how often do you hear or read that the Arab world is vital for the world’s security and as an indispensable source of energy.

This book answers numerous questions such as: Is the Arab world really the indispensable energy source without which our civilisation will come to a halt? Is this the cause of political and military meddling in the Arab world’s affairs, and the reason given by democratic western leaders to defend supporting autocratic and authoritarian Arab governments to stay in power? Is the world really this vulnerable?

This book is arranged in fourteen chapters that are structured into three generalised parts. Part I is essential reading for readers who have no prior knowledge of the subject, but are interested in developing a basic understanding of fossil fuels concepts and terminology, and can be used as necessary reference. Part II is of interest for expert readers; it provides the analysis that constitutes the core of the book, where detailed data between 1980 to date is presented and scrutinised. Part III is indispensable reading for all readers as it puts everything in global perspective - politically, economically, and technically, challenging the readers, to judge for themselves whether the Arab world’s energy endowment is as crucial as we are made to believe.
