摘要:For some countries the oil is the main source of income, while for others it represents the main raw
material for energetic needs. Thus, the oil price has major influence on their economies and it is important
for them that it stabilizes at a level profitable for both producers and consumers. The present paper aims to
analyze the world oil market through a comparative analysis of the different world regions’ situation
starting with 1980 trough the end of the Cold War and from 1992 to the present. For this purpose, we used
parametric methods in order to underline the relationships existent on the world oil market between its
different components, i.e.: reserves, production, consumption, exports, imports, stocks and price. The
analysis led to the conclusion that there are strong relationships between them, and that the respective
relations are strongly influenced by the world economy condition.
