In recent years, there is the tendency for crude oil exported from the Middle East to Asia to be more expensive than that shipped to Europe & America. To eliminate the higher oil price in Asia and to achieve an internationally competitive oil price on the Asian market has been a matter of grave concern for Asia, including Japan. The crude oil price level, partly because it has a strong impact not merely on oil but on all energy price levels, is a key element in enabling Asia to achieve competitive economic growth on a par with that of the West. Worldwide, there are three crude oil pricing systems, applying respectively to the U. S., European and Asian markets. So afresh the linear programming model is developed to study how to eliminate the higher oil price in Asia. This paper will show the details of this model. And an example study by this developed model explains some possible option that will be able to eliminate the higher oil price in Asia. It is that to promote the introduction of African crude to Northeast Asia and enable them to replace crude oil from the Middle East can also be a viable option to check any revival of the Asian higher oil price on the scale of that especially seen in 1997-98.
