lucklucky Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 7 hours ago, JDAM said: he British have just one interest in Iran with any lasting power. Most of the propaganda from the UK flows from that very obsession, as what flows from the oil fields. What?! makes no sense, UK in Iraq had mostly a passive even a deal with Shiite militias. So if Britain was so interested in Oil then it would have had a much more active policy in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDAM Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 5 hours ago, TrustMe said: It's more complicated than the above. Us Brits basically controlled the Middle East not just Iran, which we invaded in 1941, but also oil producing states like Barhain and Iraq (the Iraki Kirkuk fields were the largest ever discovered upto the 1920's). But this is all ancient history as have long since left the Middle East for being the wars/conflicted shit hole that it is. Resource extraction is usually the key goal of imperialism. The profit motive for plundering oil will not be ancient history until the act is no longer profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucklucky Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 From your link: Quote BP was the lead contractor on the Rumaila development, with a 38% working interest. The China National Petroleum Company (CNPC) held 37% with the remaining 25% held by the Iraqi government. BP said, alongside CNPC, it intended to invest $15bn over the next 20 years to increase production in Rumaila to nearly 3m barrels per day, or 3% of global oil production. In its first year of operation, BP increased production from the Rumaila field by 10% above the rate initially agreed with the Iraqi oil ministry, meaning the company became eligible for a share of the oil produced. In 2014, BP increased its working interest in the Rumaila TSC to 48% and the contract was extended by five years to 2034. Why it did not got majority and the Chinese could get 37%?

You need to ask oil industry experts to get precise answers. I don't know if there is a consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do we have any ownership interest or equity in the field or any right to the oil it produces. Nevertheless, we continue to actively support the lead contractor – Basra Energy Company Limited (BECL) – in its work to help the operator of the field, the Rumaila Operating Organisation (ROO), to reduce its flaring and emissions. Their role seems to be technical support, not operating the field, not do they own it. So other than the main essentials, all of them, completely true then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Is it just me or has Houthi And The Blowfish barely been able to attack a ship in the last few weeks?

A couple days a Greek frigate shot one with the 127mm gun of all things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
