er technical professional* well
into the next millennium,"
according to Thompson
'Consumer* see ml and gas in
terms of fuel for care, power for
houses, power for appliances,
feed stocks for a myriad of petro
chemical products Just to men¬
tion a few, this includes, carpets
furniture, sporting goods, all
kinds of plastics, toys, pharma¬
ceuticals and many more prod¬
ucts integral to our standard of
living "
Thompson told the assembled
guests that, “For a Wing time, oil
and gas, and the services and
products they provide, have
shown a proven ability to help
peo, ’e around Its- world achiev*
their aspirations for a higher
standard ofliving
Oil and gas will continue to
deliver on this, especially in
developing countries an Hind the
world, where many fieople still
lack basic necesaitie*"
“We see worldwide oil demand
growing in the range of one and
one-half to two percent per year."
Thompson predicted “through
the first two decades of the next
century Oil will essentially
maintain its current share of
world energy demand which is
almost 409
Gas will lx* the fastest growing
major fuel with demand almost
doubling by 2020 The kev factor
in this growth will be power gen
oration, especially in developing
countries
As a result of expanding gas
demand, its share of energy will
increase to about 259 *
Thompson noted that Exxon's
long term energy outlook is sup
ported “by the long term energy
outlook prepared in 1998 by the
International Energy' Agency in
Pans and the IIS Energy lnfor
motion Agency which paints
essentially the same picture
“I am excited,’ Thompson
added, “about the dramatic
increase that has occurred
recently in the access of private
industry to oil and gas resources
around the world
For example, pnor to 1990, pn
vate industry’s access to coun¬
tries with remaining undiscov¬
ered oil and gas reserves was |
only about 359 of the total By
1998 that grew to 809 " j
access
Increasing access resulted from
several factors, according to j
Thompson | I
“The fall of the iron Curtain
opened new opportunities in the I
Soviet Union and Eastern
Europe
Other centrally planned |
economies such as China and
Vietnam opened their petroleum
sectors and countries such a
Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil
derided that opening resource
development to pnvate capital
would bring added benefits to
their economy
“There could be more good
news," Thompson suggested,
“with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
considering pnvate industry par¬
ticipation "
Noting that 909 of Exxon’s pro
fessional hires come from college
and university campuses,
Thompson reviewed Exxon’s i
commitment to assisting colleges
and universities
“Through internships identify and j
recruiting we’re trying to
and hire excellent students In
turn, the universities an* inter- ,
i*sted in providing information to
enable their students to pursue
career options that make the
best use of their talents '
Crumbly thanked Thompson
for his remarks and presented
him with a glass peach, promis¬
ing real peaches the next time he
visits
Following Thompson's remarks.
Crumbly presented CDEP's
annual Platinum Achievement
Awards These awards. Crumbly
explained, “represent CDEP’s ,
