A new generation of oil
titans
Western Hemisphere rivals OPEC as it moves toward self-sufficiency
|
20.09.2011 + + + Brazil has begun building a fleet of nuclear submarines to protect its
vast, new offshore oil discoveries.
Colombia's oil production is climbing so fast that it is closing in on
Algeria's and could hit Libya's prewar levels in a few
years. Exxon Mobil is striking new deals in
Argentina, which recently heralded its biggest oil discovery since the 1980s.
For the first time in decades, the emerging prize of global energy may be the
Americas, where Western oil companies are refocusing their gaze in a rush to explore clusters of coveted oil
fields.
''This is an historic shift that's occurring, recalling the time before World War II when the U.S. and its neighbors in the hemisphere were the world's main source of
oil,'' said Daniel Yergin, the American oil historian. ''To some degree, we're going to see a new
rebalancing, with the Western Hemisphere moving back to self-sufficiency.''
