But the Iraqis drove a harder bargain than most oil companies - including San Ramon's Chevron Corp. - were willing to accept. Iraq wanted to sign up foreign companies to boost production at six existing oil fields and bring the government a needed infusion of cash. But the oil ministry offered the companies far lower profit margins than they wanted. Only BP and China National Petroleum Corp. accepted the government's terms.

The Paris-based IEA said in a report it expects global oil demand by 2013 to average 87.90 million barrels a day, down 3.7%, or 3.35 million barrels a day, from its December forecast. The latest projection is a massive 6.24 million barrels a day, or almost 7%, below the IEA's 2008-13 forecast issued in July. But the report also highlights how reduced investment and other "above ground" factors -- such as the practice of reserving the best blocks for national oil companies -- are hurting supply. That could mean much higher crude prices down the road if economic growth quickly returns to rates of more than 3%.

The Paris-based IEA said it expects global oil demand by 2013 to average 87.90 million barrels a day, down 3.35 million barrels a day compared with its previous forecast in December. The latest projection is 6.24 million barrels a day, or almost 7%, below the IEA's original 2008-13 forecast last July.
