dc.description.abstract | Oil and gas, the most efficient energy raw materials, are also the world's major
sources of energy. Oil supplies about 50 per cent of world energy needs while in many
developed countries its share is over 75 per cent. Natural gas, in active use since the
1940s, accounts at present for about 20 per cent of world energy supply. The energy
crisis of 1973-1974 stimulated increased interest in the problem of the supply of and
the growing demand for oil and gas natural resources. Under such circumstances reliable
estimates of undiscovered oil and gas reserves as well as their future production have
taken on much greater importance.
The published estimates of world and regional oil and gas resources differ widely.
These differences can be attributed to many causes, the most important of which is the use
of different methods and geological data
This paper attempts to analyze from different view-points, the geological and
economic factors affecting the estimates made of oil and gas resources in African countries
and prospects for their development. | en |
