11. Key Economic Factors in the Energy Outlook From 1970 to 1980 oil prices increased by a factor of ten from $3.50 per barrel to $35 per barrel . 1st Qtr 2015 oil prices between $90 to $100 are consistent with this data Lack of Spare Production Capacity played a major role in run up of oil prices just prior to the upside shock at near $150/bbl. One affect of upside economic shock is demand destruction Downside price shocks are likely to occur below $42/bbl. One affect of downside shock is supply destruction and the curtailment of the development of alternative fuels There is a close (3 to 4x) correlation between oil price and the Finding and Development (F&D) costs. On a cost basis it is nearly impossible to reach either $200/bbl or $20/bbl in the current market (Mar 2009). Historically, world oil demand grows at 2% less then Gross Domestic Product (GDP). If GDP is stagnant oil demand could fall by 1MMB/day during this bear market cycle.
