This book is the updated version of “APEC Energy Demand and Supply Outlook” which examines energy trends in the APEC region over the 15-year period from 1995 to 2010. Specifically, the revised Outlook considers an up-to-date appraisal of the economic crisis affecting Asian economies and the implications for regional energy demand and supply.

This work is a response to the request made at the Seoul meeting of the Energy Data and Outlook Expert Group (EDOEG), in February 1998. The Asian Pacific Energy Outlook report, taking account of the recent economic changes in the APE region, production potentials for oil and natural gas. The Ixtapa Energy Working Group endorsed this request.
