During this period, there was a constant shortage of oil, but its consumption continued to rise, maintaining high prices and leading to concerns about "peak oil". From 2005 to 2012, there were advances in oil and gas extraction, leading to increased production in

6177-474: The realities of the needs of source materials on a worldwide basis and to produce and customize products for individual countries.
