چکیده انگلیسی
This article explores the relationship between the oil industry's representation of operating conditions in key sites of extraction and the constitution of oil futures markets. An analysis of Shell Oil's recent Scenarios publications, the 'Trilemma Scenarios to 2025' and subsequent 'Scramble and Blueprints Scenarios to 2050', provides insight into both the (global) social construction of oil prices and the oil industry's reaction to social resistance in its operating environment - whether in the form of movements for resource sovereignty or climate change activism. Examining the implications of these two Scenario publications for key sites of Shell investment, the Nigerian Niger Delta and the Canadian Tar Sands, the article demonstrates that understanding the discursive implications of 'peak oil' for the petroleum industry requires contextualizing discussions of 'scarcity' within business agents role in shaping oil futures markets, and private industry's interest in the ongoing development of unconventional fossil fuel sources. While the role of deregulated futures trading receives little attention in the Shell Scenarios, speculative trading - and thus perception concerning supply among business agents - is central to shaping global oil prices and thus the social conditions of the oil market.
