The Next Oil Price Spike May Cripple The Industry

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 25, 2017

Two diametrically opposed views dominate the current debate about where the oil price is heading. On the other hand, however, there is the view that the price of oil is set to explode, primarily due to underinvestment in the upkeep of brownfields , development of greenfields , and exploration for new resources.
