marc, Non-OPEC production has risen significantly since 1973. But note that daily world oil demand has also simultaneously risen from around 50mm bbls/day in 1973 to 72mm bbls/day in 1998- that's a lot of oil in any scenario!

Main sources of possible additional Non-OPEC production- some in Venezuela; Colombia (if the guerillas cooperate); Equatorial Guinea; and Norway.

Russian Fields need work; Khazakstan and Azerbaijan lack pipeline capacity; China no extra capacity; UK and Ecuador a little bit of extra capacity; Sudan no pipeline for two more years; Yemen some additional capacity IMO.

Not a perfect scenario but in producing 72 mm bbls/day worldwide, the market has less slack than what appears at first blush...

Sincerely,

Doug F.
