The world has plenty of oil resources to continue to grow production. However, global oil demand might peak for the ?rst time in human history, due to the push for renewable energy and market share growth of electric vehicles especially in Europe and China. Oil production peaking in the United States might lead to more companies looking for growth opportunities overseas. The importance of OPEC+ countries will grow more in the future global oil market.
