The global oil industry will require $14 trillion in investments or about $610 billion annually, until 2045 to meet rising energy demand, Opec secretary-general Haitham Al Ghais said. The Opec chief, who spoke at India Energy Week in Goa on Tuesday, said global oil demand “will continue to rise and there is a need to ensure that supply is maintained”.
