Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Oil Shock
June 12, 2006
Matthew Simmons chairman, Simmons & Co. International

Oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his extensive experience in the global energy market to assess the future of Saudi Arabia's oil production capacity.

In his new book, Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy, Simmons argues that Saudi reserves could soon face a serious and irreversible decline, and considers what the world will look like when Saudi petroleum reserves peak. How high will prices rise? What impact will shortages have on the growing, energy hungry economies of India and China? Rather than hope for the discovery of new oil resources, Simmons presents a blueprint for a new global economy as the age of cheap oil ends. How important is conservation? Which alternative energy sources are most promising?
