| Summary/Abstract |
FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY, global hydrocarbon production concentrated around the Middle East. For many years, the traditional oil and gas meridian ran along the axis: Yamal-Turkmenistan-Iran-Iraq-Kuwait-Saudi Arabia. But today we are witnessing a radical change in the situation: the center of world oil production is rapidly shifting to the Western Hemisphere. The new energy axis runs from the Canadian province of Alberta through the American states of North Dakota and Texas, and on through Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil.
