U.S. formaldehyde prices for 1966—1989 are shown in Table 4 (115). Since the cost of methanol represents over 60% of formaldehyde s production costs, the formaldehyde price normally reflects the methanol price. Also, freight is a significant cost for formaldehyde since 1—3 kg of water maybe shipped with every kg of formaldehyde. The significant price increase in the early 1970s was due to the sudden rise in hydrocarbon prices caused by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Companies (OPEC) cartel increasing oil prices.

Suddenly there was a significant change in the import/export dynamics of the world. From 1970 to 1973 the United States increased its proportion of imported oil from 10 percent to 23 percent of domestic demand, a substantial 2 mbd increase in imports. At the same time, Saudi Arabia increased its exports by 120 percent, or about 4 mbd, to become the world s most important oil exporter. This change in the balance of exports on the international market gave Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) tremendous market power. It was only a matter of time before they would use it.

War II Japan and Germany needed access to oil. Limiting this access was part of the Allied efforts to end World War II. There have been more recent struggles to control the Organization of Petroleum Exporhng Countries (OPEC) and other oil rich areas, including the pathways from foreign oil fields to markets. 

Reserves of crude oil, the raw material used to make petroleum products, are not evenly distributed around the world. The production levels of the major oil-producing nations in the world, shown in Figure 2, are based on data collected by the US Department of Energy s (DOEs) Energy Information Administration (El A). Nations in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) produce —43% of the world s total of nearly 68 million bbl per day...
