Worst-Case Oil Supply May Fail to Meet Demand by 2000
A workshop of academics, businessmen and officials from non Communist oil importing nations concludes after a two year study that crude oil supply could be insufficient to meet world energy growth by 2000. They consider two growth scenarios with demand rises and identify factors such as proven reserves production capacity and Arab willingness to boost output as key limits. Excluded are shale oil tar sands and coal liquefaction reserves due to cost and tech limits.
Oil production projections hinge on discovery rates and costs
A workshop projects future oil supply by averaging accumulative production against an optimum rate, then tests optimistic and realistic discovery rates of 20 and 10 billion barrels annually. It warns demand could outpace supply by 1997 under high growth and by 1994 or 2004 under low growth, urging swift energy transition.

Canada weighs costly NATO AWACS role amid defence plan
Defence Minister Dawson signals Ottawa to decide on Canadian participation in the NATO Airborne Warning and Control System for Europe. Canada could share in the $2 billion project with an estimated $170-$200 million stake, while a lighter Canadian role in North America might involve no direct cost. NATO partners plan 34 aircraft by 1983 with cost sharing varying by country.
