Purveyor's of Snake Oil?

Iraq sits atop 115 billion barrels of crude, the world's third largest proven reserves of conventional crude
oil. But current production of about 2.4 million barrels per day remains well below levels before the 2003
U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.Iraq's oil is the world's cheapest to produce, at a cost of only
about $1 per barrel. The gigantic "rent" on Iraq's oil, during decades of production, could yield company
profits in the range of $4-5 trillion dollars – that is, $4-5 million, millions. Assuming fifty years of
production and 40% royalties, Iraq could yield annual profits of $80-90 billion per year – more than the total
annual profits of the top five companies.Iraq on Friday auctioned the rights to develop some of the world’s
biggest remaining oil fields.

Al-Maliki's government has vowed, based on developers' promises, to raise output to more than 12 million
barrels a day within six to seven years.(Looks good, sounds good, but typicly, as they say, snake oil, the
barrels out depends on how much the oil companies who own the field can pump out at any particulr time).

Iraq Oil Output to Rival Saudi Arabia, if…
Written by Ben Lando
BAGHDAD - What was once considered a pipe-dream could become reality: after decades of dictatorship, war and international sanctions, Iraq’s massive oil reserves are set to be tapped proper and the country once known for two overflowing rivers could be crowned oil king.
If the seven oil projects awarded to foreign oil companies this weekend, and the three from an auction earlier
this year, develop as planned, within eight years, Iraq will see its oil production capacity leap to more than
12 million barrels per day (bpd)....................

ever onwards with yet more.............

Iraq set to be second in oil league table
By Carola Hoyos, Chief Energy Correspondent
Iraq is on course to overtake Iran as the holder of the world’s second-largest proven oil reserves, solidifying
its position as the energy industry’s new frontier in the scramble to secure fresh resources.
Baghdad agreed on Friday to deals with Royal Dutch Shell and China’s CNPC for two large oilfields, following on

from similar accords with ExxonMobil, Eni and BP . On Saturday, Lukoil sealed a deal on the West Qurna
field................

Shell and ExxonMobil win Iraq oil field deal
Shell and ExxonMobil have signed an agreement with Iraq to spend £50bn on developing its second-biggest
oilfield, six months after the war-torn country unsuccessfully tried to auction off major contracts.
By Rowena Mason
The oil giants have secured a deal to develop Iraq’s West Qurna field, which is one of the largest in the
oil-rich south of the country.
Shell will have a 20pc stake and Exxon will have an 80pc stake in the joint venture, boosting production to
2.325m barrels per day...........................



So the United States and the United Kingdom obviously did not wage war on Iraq for the officially stated
reasons. That much is obvious. The America and its British ally were not acting because they feared the Iraqi
government's weapons of mass destruction or its ties with the terrorist group al-Qaeda. Nor were they fighting to bring democracy to the Middle East, a region where the two governments had long supported reactionary monarchs and odious dictators, including Iraqi president Saddam Hussein himself.It was, pure and simply, an invasion to secure the Arab oil fields.Weapons of mass destruction? They're still looking.

(Iran is next on the list).
