The head cases seem rather desperate

The MNR can always hedge its WI by shorting Gkp.

I've been speaking with a few extremely senior city drum beaters



-----------------



LOL

You listened to a few of them back in the glory days .

You ended up buying heavily at £3 and £4 and lost 99% of your investment a few years later when you sold at 4p. It's all on record

A few years after that and you're still here adding to your 23,000 posts .

Dog5hite - what a loser you are ....lol

bigdog,

that's an interesting interpretation...I wonder what was behind that?

PSC Clause #36 covers Information and Confidentiality:

36. The CONTRACTOR shall keep all records, data and information relating to the Petroleum Operations in accordance with the Kurdistan Region Oil and Gas Law and prudent international petroleum industry practice. In addition, it shall provide the GOVERNMENT with such information and data as it is obliged to provide under this contract.

36.2 Upon the GOVERNMENT’s written request, the CONTRACTOR shall provide the GOVERNMENT with samples of any rocks or any other items extracted during the Petroleum Operations.

36.3 The Government shall have title to all data and information, whether raw, derived, processed, interpreted or analysed, obtained pursuant to this Contract.
…
..
36.6 The CONTRACTOR shall provide the GOVERNMENT upon the GOVERNMENT’s written request any analysis information, reports, tapes or other data (geological, geophysical, logs, interpretations, drilling reports, etc.) related to the Petroleum Operations in the possession of the CONTRACTOR. All available originals of such data shall be transferred to the GOVERNMENT at the end of this Contract.

As I'm sure you are aware, the MNR (acting as representative for the Kurdistan Regional Government) ensures, via the Block Management Committee, that it is always "in the loop" as far as any and all issues are concerned (Clause #8). It meets 3 times a year and consist of 2 members designated by the Gov and 2 members designated by the contractor. I'm certain that they also have eyes and ears within the company who can keep them informed of any "issues" that arise (you're learning to like that word aren't you!).

Ref "Control": Clause #8 gives them complete control of ALL the adjustment levers: decisions have to be unanimous and the Chairman has the tie-breaking vote. Guess who has the Chairman's role?

I've been speaking with a few extremely senior city drum beaters and we were discussing the merits of the MNR divesting itself of their percentage of the asset. The general consensus of opinion was that it's very unlikely as their 20% allows them access to all the information and control they require.

Apropos the Chinese publication, an observation:

There have been several Geo-papers published recently on the Shaikan field - mainly by university departments & students who are doing their final degrees (both geological- and chemical). I have recently read papers from Cairo- and from Suli Universities, for example, that all go into similar depths as did the Chinese Paper.

I believe it's quite normal for State organisations, such as the MNR, to release such detailed background findings (not all of course, and not the really sensitive bits) to advanced centres of learning in order that students have the latest, up-to-date information to work with.

After all, without such current knowledge where will the Iraq specialists of the future be found? I believe Adnan Samarrai, closely associated with the MNR, has a particular interest in encouraging such knowledge transfer.

I wonder what "spin" will be used at the upcoming meet to explain why the work over is taking far longer than it should:-)

I wonder if the rampers will be making any predictions of what they expect to see and hear from the Hyperfest.

"Despite 18 interested parties
No acceptable deal with upside from single figures
For huge oil assets
Unbelievable

KRG directly or otherwise
hold notes ????

Huge assets and regular cash flow and growing production
and could not find any new money ????

Also unbelievable

Well I'll take the rights and see where this lands

18 parties who knew where Shaikan lived and that poo had fallen
and zero deal

Remarkable"
