US intelligence will begin to monitor oil reserves in Russia and other countries

67

The National Agency for Geospatial Intelligence (NGA) under the US Department of Defense began looking for a contractor to provide him with information on oil reserves in different countries of the world. Americans are interested in data on the largest exporters and consumers of “black gold”.

The agency has compiled and published a list of countries that interest it. It includes the Russian Federation. In addition to her, the list included Saudi Arabia, China, Brazil, Iran, Venezuela and Angola.



The main goal of the American intelligence organization is to reinforce analytical data with information from other sources about oil reserves, its movements, trade operations, storage capacity, prices, and other commercial information.

NGA expects to regularly monitor the situation in more than 20 thousand oil storage facilities around the world. Under favorable weather conditions, the agency expects to receive information about the degree of their filling four times a month in absolute volume values ​​(barrels or cubic meters), as well as a percentage of the total storage volume. The physical parameters of the objects must also be known, that is, their height and radius.

          Well, let's say, the same Trump knows more about Saudi Arabia and about its oil without intelligence, than about his wife. Sheikhs have nothing to hide - and so they walk on a short leash.
          But about the rest - to know where next time to "bring democracy"? So in Russia, for example, no matter how much oil is pumped out, democracy will overstrain.

              Yes, they did not ruin us. Humpback Dog and Sverdlovsk Drunkard sold us. And on its own, without these two and their betrayal, America would still "fall apart" and "fall apart".

              And the Cold War was not won - it never ended. And our "Stalingrad" and our "Kursk Bulge" in the Cold War are still ahead. We have already passed the "Battle of Moscow" in the Cold War.
              They hurried to spank medals and reward the Humpbacked Dog with it. Hitler also had time to stamp "For the capture of Moscow" and sent out invitations to his parade in Moscow. And where is that Hitler? And these will be there ...

          This data will never be a trade secret in open joint stock companies.

          For on the basis of these data and the valuation of the company as a whole. And stock prices in particular.

          And the value of shares and profit is the main task of the joint-stock company.

          And here is the netushka. To increase their own ego, companies disclose information about identified reserves only with the greatest permission and in dosage. Otherwise, the entire oil and gas market will go to waste. Even just the news about a promising field (including halilaikli / fakes) is the strongest weapons of mass destruction in this market. And the real resource reserves are at the disposal of the country - behind seven seals next to the nuclear briefcase. The rest of the economists and specialized experts can only guess by the open infe and coffee rinses. All intelligence agencies of the world are engaged in assessing the real resources at the disposal of potential "partners", this is not news at all - a routine of studying the strengths and weaknesses of a potential enemy.

              The main thing in this business is the phrase "expected reserves". Assessment of the prospects of each field and geological exploration is a strategic asset. Nobody will tell you the truth. It is beneficial for some to overestimate, to others - to underestimate (the grandmother said in two). Let's just say that there are still tens of generations before the limit of exhaustible resources, but the process of world redistribution of such resources will intensify. This is already noticeable without the pince-nez.

                What a super-analytics. On coal, you can probably agree. Over the past 5 years, not a single large field has been commissioned in Russia for oil except Vankorsky. Western Siberia is depleted, everyone there now requires tax incentives to maintain the level of production (especially Rosneft), but in general - blessed is anyone who believes.

                  Well, it's generally difficult for me to explain something about geological exploration and reserves to people who have been looking for their place in life for 40 years and have found the only place where there is no oil. Now is the period of low (and artificially lowered) prices, so it is more profitable to conserve already explored than to look for new ones. It's just not profitable. How much explored, I repeat once again, hardly anyone will tell you voluntarily / free of charge / under torture ... If intelligence cynically declares "we will dig from me until the next oak tree", it means that there is no special trust in market analytics.
