Saudi Arabia May Become Oil Importer by 2030, Citigroup Says
Bloomberg
Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest crude exporter, risks becoming an oil importer in the next 20 years, according to Citigroup Inc.
Oil and its derivatives are used for about half of the kingdom's electricity production, which at peak rates is growing at about 8 percent a year, the bank said today in a an e-mailed report. A quarter of the country's fuel production is used domestically, more per capita than other industrialized nations, as the cost is subsidized, according to the note.
