Oil Prices to Ease in Next Two Years as Output Gains, IEA Says

By Ahmed Rouaba

July 16 (Bloomberg) -- Oil prices will ease over the next two years as producers pump more crude, International Energy Agency Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said.

``There are new production projects which will improve the situation in 2009 and 2010, but after that the situation will get tighter again,'' Tanaka said yesterday at a conference in Algiers.

While a falling dollar and speculation are helping to push prices up, oil's main drivers remain the accelerating demand in emerging markets and declining spare capacity in producing nations, he said.

``Demand is growing in emerging economies and spare production capacity is low; that is why prices are very high,'' Tanaka said, calling on producing countries to boost investment to tap ``a lot of unexplored oil potential.''
