Asia Pasific Oil and Gas 2004 OGI Release - Part 2

November 05, 2005

Yet the area is to some extent an untapped resource. Together, the people of Australia and Indonesia total almost 260 million— roughly double the size of the population of Japan and just 30 million short of the U.S. total. Their combined purchasing power is around $850 billion, which is roughly $200 billion more than India.
