Iraqi oil licensing round runs into trouble

The first field on offer was the day's sole success story. But also underlined the government and the companies' widely differing expectations.

Two consortiums, headed by British giant BP and Exxon Mobil, submitted offers for the Rumaila oil field - the largest prize on offer with 17.8 billion barrels in crude reserves.

The Exxon Mobil-led consortium, which included Malaysia's Petronas, requested $4.80 per barrel for production over the minimum, while BP wanted $3.99 per barrel. The ministry was willing to pay $2 per barrel.

BP agreed to match the ministry's price and won the contract for Rumaila.

Its funny, and as if we don’t understand your pro Fascist IRI propaganda, you have been acting oblivious for the last 30 years to all the crimes committed by IRI in our country. And recently, with IRI’s latest brutality, you like to divert attention from Iran to somewhere else, preferably somewhere that you can somehow someway criticize America while doing that!

 

Well guess what, Iraq’s democracy, which was achieved through American soldier and Iraqi civilian and non civilian’s sacrifices, is a dream for all the Iranians living under IRIs oppression. Remember all the dumb arguments by your like-minded delusional leftists in the media and some groups that used to be made about IRI having some “form” of democracy and Iraq’s democracy “not being legit!” Well, that has all shattered, forever.

 

Furthermore, any Iranian who truly loves Iran and cares about the lives and dignity of Iranian people, only pays attention to what’s going on in Iran right now, not in Israel or Iraq or anywhere else. Obviously, just like your beloved IRI regime, Iranian life means nothing to you. As long as you can somehow satisfy your sick and blind anti American desires, who cares what happens to Iran, right?

 

Your beloved IRI and its supporters like you tried this propaganda for 30 years. What did you gain? If your regime had any molecule amount of legitimacy before these last event, that also has gone.

 

So, like I said, keep joining IRIs sinking ship! Let me help you get on it. It will be my outmost pleasure!
