Summary/Abstract: More than 90% of proven oil reserves have reached to peak point according to Hubbert curve. Global oil demand increases 2% per year and if this trend continues, daily global oil consumption will reach to 105 million barrel by 2030. The USA, EU, China, India have the highest energy consumption levels in the world and these four regions are called the biggest energy markets of the world. If we consider energy consumption level of these four regions, significance of oil and natural gas could be understood easily for energy security. These countries are in constant effort to diversify energy supply sources to protect themselves from price-supply shocks as oil prices peak. With oil reserves reaching their peak points, the measures taken by these four nations as regards energy security and the policies they will follow will trigger new struggles in the region and contribute to the policies made, whereby shaping the future.
