You have the year correct, but you wonder why Iran hasn't targeted the UK more often than the USA, as it was their interest in the oilfields for the overthrow of Mohammad Mossadegh nationalization of those fields.

Saw this in the oilfields. Great dudes to work with.

Wow. The ORIGINAL power wagon. Built to work in the oilfields in the deserts of Saudi Arabia...

I can’t wait to get home to tear ass across the oilfields on my old dirt bike. Argo fuck you guys.

Can't fund Defence but spending £20 fucking billion a year importing oil and gas from Norway !! Let that sink in....and Labour and SNP voted against opening up our oilfields. UK is 0.77% of global co2 emissions and btw nobody give else gives a fuck.

Rosebank contains enough to produce over 200 million tonnes of CO2, more than the combined annual emissions of 28 countries. Opening up these oilfields will do nothing to improve energy security or bring down bills, as any fuels will be sold at global prices on the world market.

They will never be satisfied We gave you the {{{daycare}}} jobs that you wanted (the only ones you’re capable of doing besides healthcare) and now you’re complaining that they’re in decline If you insist on being taken along for the ride get ready to work on the oilfields lady

Meanwhile the people in power call themselves "climate leaders" as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licenses exploring future oil drilling sites. This is the world they are leaving for us.

The most impressive thing I saw in Norway was not the fjords. It was their GPFG (Government Pension Fund Global) - basically an "Oil Fund". In 1969, they found one of the world’s largest offshore oilfields in the North Sea. They could have spent it like lottery winners. Instead, they built this fund. Today, it is roughly $2T , owns around 1.5% of all public equities globally, and around 25% of Norway’s yearly budget comes from the fund’s returns. Not by draining the principal. By following a simple rule: spend around the expected real return, and preserve the fund for future generations. That part broke my brain a little. Most countries turn natural resources into budgets. Norway turned theirs into an intergenerational index fund. The closest analogs I found are Kuwait’s Future Generations Fund, Abu Dhabi’s ADIA, and Alaska’s Permanent Fund. Do you wish you were Norwegian?

They'll no find them in Scottish oilfields 😂

Tom Barrack has met in Erbil with caretaker KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and Kurdistan President Nechirvan Barzani, and in Baghdad with PUK President Bafel Talabani and caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani. KRG cabinet formation appears to have been a central issue, though the public messages from the KDP and PUK were notably different. Bafel Talabani warned that the legitimacy of and public confidence in the caretaker government were "increasingly being called into question". Masrour Barzani said the two sides agreed on the need to reactivate the Kurdistan Parliament, form a new cabinet and end the political deadlock "as soon as possible". Energy was another major theme. Both Masoud and Masrour Barzani said they discussed energy with Barrack, and Barrack's joint statement with the Iraqi prime minister focused heavily on energy cooperation and contracts for US companies. This suggests Washington is increasingly linking political stability in both Baghdad and Erbil with a broader expansion of US commercial and energy involvement, extending beyond Erbil to the natural-gas-rich Sulaimani region. Barrack also briefed both Kurdish leaderships on the US-Iran agreement and the current state of Washington-Tehran relations. The talks are also likely to have covered the US-Iraq security agreement and the planned September withdrawal of US-led coalition forces from Erbil under the existing timetable, unless a new schedule is agreed with Baghdad. Barrack also appears to have discussed the protection of KRG oilfields, which are largely operated by US firms, with both the Iraqi prime minister and officials in Erbil.
