• Energy security must be seen from many perspectives • Recent price behaviour has moved the issue of energy security high up on the agenda • Non-energy commodity prices have also risen • Perceptions of capacity availability exacerbated by disruptions to the supply system and other factors • Security of supply and security of demand are two sides of the same coin • OPEC’s recent responses demonstrate the commitment to support energy supply security

• Supply security relevant for entire supply chain • Inadequate investment in refining capacity a key factor behind recent price movements • Increasingly stringent product specifications • OPEC NOCs are undertaking part of the investments needed in the downstream • But the major responsibility lies with the consuming countries and international oil companies

© 2006, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Security of demand: a real issue
• Security of demand and security of supply are mutually supportive • Security of demand is a legitimate concern of producers • Uncertainty over future demand translates into a broad range of potential levels of demand for OPEC oil • Investment requirements are large, subject to long lead- times and pay-back periods • More transparency in evolution and implementation of policies is key • Improved data availability and quality needed for demand and stocks, as well as other demand variables

• OPEC continues to engage in dialogue and co-operation • Later this month, 10th International Energy Forum (IEF), Doha, Qatar, is an important meeting • IEF Secretariat opened in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia • OPEC a leading participant in the Joint Oil Data Initiative • Need for better data on demand and stocks: higher quality, timely • OPEC sees dialogue and co-operation among all parties as the way forward with regard to security of supply and demand

• The other two pillars of sustainable development are also crucial: economic development and social progress • Over 1 billion people live on less than $1 per day • Millennium Development Goal number 1: poverty eradication • Access to modern energy services must be improved upon • NEPAD spearheads efforts to alleviate poverty in Africa • Developed countries have commitments to fulfil, such as capacity building, technology transfer and financial resources
