Thanks for the info. In other news Geoff Hurst just scored a hat trick in the world cup final and Argentina have invaded the Falklands.

Just read this for the second time and it appears a bit confusing. So the initial buy is for £10000000 worth but have stated that they may buy up to 22 plus million shares. Also on the one hand they say they will be held in treasury but then go on to say they will be cancelled. That's how it appears anyway.

The new budget would need to contain some agreed numbers ( with IOC )if oil is to flow from Kurdistan.
If there was now no agreed numbers , whats the point of voting new budget through?

A couple of weeks ago Nechirvan Barzani followed up on his Baghdad visits and unexpectedly went to Tehran for meetings with the Iranian leadership.

Last week a Kurdish delegation spent 3 days in Baghdad for meetings with the Finance Ministry and Oil Minister that particularly focused on the issues surrounding Kurdistan’s oil and its budget allocation.

Today the Iraqi Parliament will try to elect a new speaker.

Tomorrow al-Sudani will hold an extraordinary meeting of the Cabinet to discuss the budget, the huge $42 billion deficit and the new budget amendments that will try to address that deficit.

Presumably if things pan out as they hope there will then be an announcement saying when the new budget will be put to parliament to be voted on.

Let's hope all that can move things forward.

Fingers crossed.

What’s all this got to do with oil

[fardels bear] 18/5/2024 09:18

Wife's signed it.

Try to read up on Excess Deaths. You'll need to use a search engine other than Google and you won't find it in any newspaper or tv channel as they are all still on message. It's real and persistent, getting worse, try YouTube Robert Clancy, Peter McCullogh and there are some others in prison on trumped up charges. Or try bitshoot.

[fardels bear] 18/5/2024 09:03

I've signed it too..

It’s “our” NHS. It’s “our” BBC.
Both now hijacked by an elite liberal, parasitic class. Ours is an ageing democracy tearing itself apart from within. Death must always follow life.
I’m sorry to hear of your troubles mmt1. I’ve signed your petition. I admire people who get things done.

[justiceforthemany] 18/5/2024 08:28

Question is why is the scandal that is doctors out of work and being replaced by quacks not making national TV/Radio? Government suppression perhaps? They report on so much nonsense but matters of life and death are not important?

Erbil, Kurdistan24 – The United States is committed to ensuring global energy security, and this commitment extends to resuming oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, according to Bahroz Jaafar, president of the Mediterranean Institute for Regional Studies (MIRS).

Speaking to Kurdistan24 on Friday, May 17, 2024, Jaafar emphasized that the U.S. and Western countries have been staunch supporters of the Kurdistan Region's oil industry since its inception.

"The United States sees itself as responsible for global energy security, so it is more eager than anyone else to resume oil exports from the Kurdistan Region," Jaafar stated.

Since the establishment of the Ministry of Natural Resources in 2006, the U.S. has played a significant role in the development of the Kurdistan Region's oil sector.

Jaafar highlighted the substantial investment made by the U.S. in the Kormori field in October 2021, amounting to $250 million to expand the facilities.

Jaafar noted, "It is clear to the United States, Turkey, and U.S. companies that Iraq is preventing the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region."

This ongoing obstruction poses challenges to the regional and global energy markets, reinforcing the urgency for resolving the issue.

The U.S. remains actively involved in efforts to address these challenges, reflecting its broader strategic interest in maintaining energy stability and supporting its allies in the Kurdistan Region.

As diplomatic and economic efforts continue, the resumption of oil exports remains a critical goal for regional and international stakeholders.

On Thursday May 16, US Assistant Secretary for Energy Resources Geofrrey Pyatt, and following meeting with the Kurdistan Region's Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, visisted energy facilities of Mass Global in Pirdawood and Khurmala which is run jointly by Kar Group and Mass Global for the production of electrcity, gas and oil.

Assistant Secretary Pyatt highlighted the significant impact of his visit to the energy facilities in the region, drawing comparisons to oil-producing areas in the United States such as Oklahoma.

Bloody hell mmt1, that's appalling. Whilst we don't have the NHS down here at least if you book an appointment with your GP surgery you will probably get one within 48 hours (some times same day) without any 'filtering' from the receptionist. Admittedly you have to pay the subsidised bill but all prescriptions are free.

[justiceforthemany] 17/5/2024 22:36

So mmt there's a lot worse going on than the receptionists. I'm sure you'd agree it's a worse scandal than the Post Office.
Again, I'd encourage you to Google 'unemployed GPs'.
Reports of new GPs unable to find work now as fake doctors have replaced them and they are free to the practice/partners.
Some new GPs have given up looking for a job and left the profession altogether, and are now driving taxis! What a waste!

[justiceforthemany] 17/5/2024 22:30

You will not believe that thousands of GPs are unemployed across England at the moment, replaced by non doctors/quacks. Cost is coming before patient safety and quality of care. Just Google 'unemployed GPs' and the sad case of Emily Chesterton. There is no shortage of GPs, they are deliberately not being used. Pharmacists, podiatrists, paramedics, physician associates are REPLACING GPs and practices are bribed into hiring them as the government reimburses their salaries under the ARRS scheme! UK trained doctors with decades of training and experience are now out of work! It costs the tax payers half a million to train ONE GP. Total betrayal. Super dangerous. What a waste. Huge scandal. Being suppressed at the moment.

All done mmt1

[shortsqueezer] 17/5/2024 16:23

I saw that. I guess we will all be on for a serious rerating when we get the go ahead. Wonder how the non members of akipur will fare.

ShaMaran Petroleum Corp (SNM) looking particularly perky.. ;-)
