Abstract

This paper examines some of the main operational and technical as well as logistics problems facing the least developed countries in their access to supplies of crude oil and products. In particular, the study analyses the problems relating to guarantee of supplies at official prices; unanticipated disruption of supply; transport costs; purchasing power entitlements; imbalances in refinery output or product yields; information; training and technical assistance and their implications for the least developed countries. It also identifies some possible areas of co‐operation for improving supply arrangements for crude oil and products for these countries. Cet article passe en revue quelques‐uns des principaux problèmes auxquels doivent faire face les pays les moins avancés dans les domaines opéationnels, techniques et logistiques en ce qui concerne leurs approvisionnements en pétrole brut et en produits raffinés. L'étude analyse en particulier les problèmes relatifs à la garantie des approvisionnements aux prix officiels, à la rupture inattendue des approvisionnements, aux coûts des transports, aux fluctuations du pouvoir d'achat, aux déséquilibres dans le rendement ou la nature des produits raffinés, à l'information, à la formation et l'assistance technique ainsi que leurs implications pour les pays les moins avancés. L'article identifie également quelques domaines possibles de coopération afin d'améliorer les mécanismes d'approvisionnement en brut et en produits raffinés de ces pays.
