According to LUKOIL estimates (2013), the global demand for liquid hydrocarbons will continue to grow by 1.2% on average annually and will reach 105 mb/d by 2025. The major market pressure in oil demand will come from the transportation sector, a sector where oil is the principal energy source (over 90%). The consumption of liquid hydrocarbons will be on the increase in developing countries due to the fact that the transportation industry is undergoing rapid growth. • Demographic factors The world’s population will continue to grow rapidly. Between 2010 and 2025 global population will grow by more than 1.1 billion people.( United Nation 2013). According to (Mckinsey Global Institute), the greatest population growth is predicted to be registered in developing countries, while in the developed countries population will remain relatively stable. High rates of population growth rate are expected, firstly, in India, which is predicted to become the world’s most populous country by 2020. Explosive population growth is also forecasted for the African countries as a result of improvement in socio- economic conditions and quality of medical services. Including population growth, developing countries will experience the migration of the rural population to the cities, as a result of urbanization. Urbanization and growth of the consumer class in developing countries will, in turn, promote demand for real estate, infrastructure, cars, hi tech goods and, as a result, energy
Another misconception is that all of the oil the United States produces, now and in the future, is mostly exported. The truth is, “The United States consumes the vast majority of its refined products The claim that ‘much of this oil is for export’ is actually contrary to the facts, market analysis and what actual refiners and customers of Keystone XL have said. The fact is the U.S. consumes the vast majority of all the refined products it produces. In 2012, only about 9% of U.S. refined on-road motor fuel was exported – the other 91 per cent was consumed in the United States first.”

When more and more wells and being drilled the need for workers increase.

I've already noticed that Macondo Prospect was powered by BP, making BP the most interesting company for my research. However, there are other companies that have performed operations to establish this source of oil. BP has leased the Macondo well from Transocean so we can identify Transocean as the owner of the well. BP held only 65 percent of the Macondo prospectus and we can identify the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and MOEX Offshore as the other owners, with a 25 percent and 10 percent stake in the Macondo oil

It has been said that the electric car would mark the end to the mass production of crude oil, but that is far from the truth. One would think that the more electric vehicles on the road, the less consumption of crude oil and its byproducts, and that’s not true either. By 2040, the number of passenger vehicles will hit more than 1.8 billion worldwide. In that growth, only 10% will be electric vehicles. (Kazokoglu par.1)

In the 21st century, population studies are very significant in looking at characteristics of a country, habitat, community and other environments. For example, in the human population, people are interested in a country’s population growth/decay, as the production of goods, social reforms/support or other needs of the people can be suggested. If a population is decreasing, there can be efforts made to improve medications and social support to increase the population and decrease the death rates. But do we actually know how population is modeled and how accurate these models are? This exploration aims at comparing logistic and exponential growth models, the two main models used for population growth, and to determine the extent of how realistic
