\ Page 18/The Battalion/Friday, September 28, 1984 World oil consumption increasing as predicted United Press International DALLAS — Late in 1983, econo mist Jack Wilkinson predicted a rise in worldwide oil consumption for this year, and his prediction now looks good. Wilkinson based the pre diction on his belief that worldwide economic activity was increasing. Figures show that for the first six months of 1984 the major industrial nations experienced a 5 percent to 5.5 percent increase in gross do mestic production. Wilkinson said that at the time of his prediction not many oil industry economists were predicting increased consumption. It wasn’t a popular view, he said. Economic activity, Wilkinson said, is a leading indicator of oil demand, and he has figures from previous years to prove it. “What is often overlooked is that since 1979 the world has basically been in a recession,” Wilkinson said. “Through 1983 there has been very little economic growth, excluding the United States.” However, he said, in 1984 indus trial production and oil consump tion are expected to grow. Petroleum Intelligence Weekly re cently reported an increase in con sumption of 4.6 percent in the six largest free world countries in the second quarter of 1984. Consump tion increased 6 percent in the first quarter. Petroleum Information Interna tional, reported in August that in the first six months of 1984, world crude oil production increased by 7 per cent over the output for the first six months of 1983. “So we’re running on target,” Wil kinson said. “We've been in a recession for four years,” he said. As consumption increases, so does the possibility of another major dis turbance in the supply-demand bal ance. The two great oil shocks of the 1970s occurred when OPEC nations were producing at 80 percent of to tal capacity. “I expect that somewhere between 1987 and 1988, it will be pretty inter esting to watch the world oil mar ket,” he said. Wilknison said he ex pects OPEC to reach 80 percent production by 1987 or 1988. Does that mean Wilkinson expects another worldwide oil price shock in that period? “I wouldn’t say a shock, necessar ily,” he said. “More like creeping world price increases.” Whenever an imbalance between supply and demand occurs, the re sult is upward price pressure, kinson said. He does notexpecui ations similar to the 70s when j price of oil tripled in just a fern FREE VIDEO CLUB MEMBERSHIP with any video purchase All Star Audio is the only place to buy electronics this weekend!
