Chevron, Iraq-Iran Negotiations in the Past. Big COBALT and NIOBIUM is the Future

 “…Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki… said he is currently in negotiations with Chevron to develop various oil fields, to include a cross-border oil field with Iran (NFI)…Chevron had told him that it had already raised the issue of a cross-border development with Tehran…The CDA noted that U.S. law on sanctions would apply, but added that the Administration was reviewing its policies on Iran.”

Chevron, open Now to Russia Pipeline Deal? Or will you await the Administration to review its policies on Russia?

Now that BP and Exxon have had their turn “smoking the Ruski pipe” care to take a sniff? Or, are you waiting for that big merger with Exxon? If so, Chevron will you too position your CEO as Secretary of State in the next Republican administration?

Exxon, funny how just a few years back you reportedly sued the Trump administration on account of Russian sanction violations.

Yes, the past has a way of catching up with you and Chevron. According to a US Embassy Cable, “The PM said no, he does not intend for the reform proposals to go to the COR and that he would do everything to avoid this, commenting that the COR would “take us into a political maze,” which was completely unnecessary.”

Speaking of “political maze” Chevron, once again Washington is busy with SECURITY CONCERNS, THE BUDGET, and OIL CONTRACTS. Ready to deal or hawk an exchange?

NATO being in an energy bind relying on Russia and no clear greenlight as to Iran leaves one to ask if the oil tides of March have come. Recall the time “PM al-Maliki said that he prefers to go with Chevron on the deal; however, he remarked that if U.S. rules prevent Chevron from doing this project, he would approach a non-American firm.”

Exxon, seems merging with Chevron, an American firm, might not win you an Iraq-Iran deal if the present Iraq reflects the past.

BUT Brits, your non-American firms Shell and BP qualified then. Yet, you went with Russia. And now?

Big Oil, as the next BIG things are COBALT and NIOBIUM, non-American firms of the Amazons and Congo are increasingly being approached and owned by China and Russia.

Chevron, it seems your “license to spill” will soon expire.

Oil Man, as we access your domains via satellites we ask, “What do you know as a Hawk that you don’t as a Man?”

Oil Men, I leave you with the words of an oil man, “There Will Be Blood.”
