This article used of the volatility model for crude oil returns in relation to its ability to<br />

identify and predict volatile facts on the data. The study uses monthly data for the closing<br />

price used from November 1993 to November 2017. In this context, we assess the<br />

existence of the volatility of crude oil returns using conditional volatility models. AR and<br />

GARCH (1.1) models are better models for capturing volatility rather than the EGARCH<br />

and IGARCH models. The AR and GARCH (1.1) models also provide superior performance<br />

in sample volatility forecasts. We conclude that the AR and GARCH models (1.1) are<br />

useful for modeling and forecasting forecasts in the volatility of crude oil return volatility.<br />
