Possible Energy Effects Of A

U.S. Ban On Libyan Oil Imports





Under current slack market conditions, a ban on
trade with Libya is not likely to have a major
impact on U.S. oil supplies or prices. Current
U.S.. oil imports from Libya are small, and oil
is readily available from other sources. Libya
could experience a temporary loss of oil revenues
until it found new customers. Tight market con-
ditions--unlikely in 1982--would maximize the
potential adverse effects on the United States
and minimize those on Libya. U.S. oil compa-.
nies--both those producing and refining Libyan
oil--are more likely to feel the adverse effects of
a trade ban than the United States as a whole.

Although a ban would probably prevent direct
imports of Libyan oil from entering the United
States, some Libyan oil could still enter the
country as products refined elsewhere.
