Even if sufficient oil, gas, coal or uranium is available, it still requires important levels of technological competence and equipment to extract the primary energy and to make it available to the market. Timely investment in production capacity in producer countries to match demand is thus important. Typical examples concern oil production in the Middle East, gas extraction on the Jamal peninsula in Russia, investment in liquefaction facilities for LNG in Qatar and elsewhere, and for exploiting uranium mines in many different areas.
