Develop consistent worldwide projections of macroeconomic, energy, refinery and petrochemical products demand and supply with exogenous oil prices and investments in refinery and petrochemicals.
Calculate scenarios where oil price stabilization by the OAPEC is be negotiated against access given by the European Community to markets of refinery and petrochemicals produced by the Arab countries
The measurement of the magnitude of the impacts of the stakes for both partners of the dialogue: to stabilize the oil price in the European Community and to generate diversified development in the Arab countries
Benefits were in the form of a maintained political Dialogue, less in the form of decisions
Identify eight zones: Arabian countries, Europe, USA and Canada, Japan, Latin America, Socialist countries, Far East, rest of world and 4 energy raw materials oil, gas, coal, other
Identify 7 refined products: LPG, gasoline, naphtha, jet fuel, kerosene, gas oil, heavy distillates
Identify 34 petrochemical products: ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, xylene, ammonia, hydrogen . polypropylene, polyester, acrylic fibres, synthetic rubber.
Construct the Dialogue model, illustrated with the diagrams Dialogue0.pdf ; econometric demand curves for each final and residual energy, refinery and petrochemical product and the LP production capacity models for refined and petrochemicals (including resulting intermediary demands)
Construct consistent scenarios, solving the industry models, linked by international trade, simultaneously with cost and price modules and with the Macroeconomic variables generated by the COMET model.
The scientific methodologies used are crucial. See section Our Expertise.
