Abstract

In mid-2014, the fracking boom caused a significant drop in oil prices, benefiting net importing countries and harming those that depend on oil exports to sustain their social development models. In the previous decade, peak oil production had kept prices high. Fracking shifted the peak, causing current prices to fall again. However, there is evidence that this shift in peak oil is merely speculative, part of a new economic bubble that could burst if oil-importing powers fail to gain control of nearby crude oil sources.
