Does not attempt to analyse any policy issues, but rather to provide basic information that will be useful to anyone who does. Topics covered include oil production and refining technology; the uncertainties surrounding statistics on world oil reserves and resources; the management of New Zealand's own oil resources; the structure and regulation of New Zealand's oil industry; and New Zealand's involvement with international efforts to promote oil security. A chapter on "Oil and Financial Markets" focuses on the question of whether quotes from futures markets provide a good means to predict the future price of oil. A chapter on "The Economics of Exhaustible Resources" focuses on the question of whether government intervention in the oil market can be justified on the basis that oil is an exhaustible resource.
