This involves several key stages: discovering and accessing reserves in various countries, extracting the crude oil, refining it into usable products, and transporting the final goods to the market.

Imagine two major events occur simultaneously in the global market: 1) A new extraction technology is widely adopted, significantly increasing the amount of oil that can be produced at any given price. 2) A worldwide economic slowdown causes a sharp reduction in industrial production and consumer travel. What is the most likely combined effect of these two events on the world price of oil and the quantity of oil traded?
