The hunt for oil. The pursuit of profit as a form of occupation

55

The Trump administration, like its predecessor, calls the ultimate destruction of terrorism as the goal of its presence in Syria. This principle is interpreted by Washington in very different ways: in Idlib, the Americans, at least for the moment, absolutely exclude the ground military presence. A different position has been taken regarding oil-rich lands east of the Euphrates: the presence of US military bases here is explained by the need to support the “main ally” in the fight against ISIS (prohibited in the Russian Federation) - the Kurds.

The agenda for Kurdish militias in northeast Syria is well known: they want to create an autonomous territorial entity with a maximum range of powers without outside interference. In this sense, the relations of Americans and Kurds with good reason can be called a marriage of convenience. The United States does not and cannot have other partners who allegedly need help in the fight against ISIS. The Kurds, bearing in mind the usefulness of the military and diplomatic potential of the United States for gaining leverage over the ATS government, actively used this. No wonder Donald Trump's loud statements about the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, which later turned out to be empty words, caused the most fierce criticism in the ranks of the Kurdish political movements.



In fact, the US never made a commitment to help the Kurds create an autonomous zone in northeast Syria. The longer the United States maintains forced military cooperation with the Kurds, the greater the risk for American forces to find themselves in a stalemate between the two allies and get stuck in a regional conflict, given Turkey’s relentless desire to put an end to the conflict with the Kurds by force.

And the longer the US troops continue to remain in Syria, occasionally reporting on the “extremely successful” joint operations with the Kurdish People’s Self-Defense Forces to destroy the sleeping cells of ISIS of two people in some village in Raqqa or Deir ez-Zora, the more obvious it will be it becomes that the Americans are not really interested in Syria’s final deliverance from terrorism. A strong argument in favor of this point of view is official Washington’s rhetoric regarding the situation in Idlib: they say that the terrorists are there, of course, but they haven’t planned any aggressive actions against the Syrian authorities lately, the victims of their attacks on government positions are not so numerous and etc., etc. These words do not quite correlate with the image of the state, fiercely fighting against any manifestations of terrorism, is not it?

In northeast Syria, the activity of Americans, by and large, is limited to the areas directly surrounding the oil fields. At international venues, US officials regularly state that Washington refuses to help restore the peaceful life of the Syrian territories, which are under the control of the ATS government. However, the Americans also have no signs of a desire to restore, for example, Racca, which they themselves bombed.

If you add up the resulting “ingredients” (control of oil fields and prevent the restoration of the SAR government’s sovereignty over the entire territory of the country) and add to the non-binding bravado in the spirit of “Assad must leave”, “we will expel the last Iranian boot from Syria” and “ISIS will finally defeated ”, the resulting dish from the“ chef ”, with whatever sauce you serve it, will invariably beg for one name: the occupation of the territory of another state in order to profit. Here is such a high cuisine of international politics!

    Oil is the blood of the global economy. Why be surprised if wars go on all the time for it. Solar energy is not developing yet, because the sun does not yet belong to oil companies. It seems that the truth is no longer fault, but in oil. It’s good that we have oil and gas. It is one bad thing that we do not have oil and gas.

      “It's good that we have oil and gas.”
      If you said this as a representative of the Kremlin and the government, then that's right. If as a normal resident of Russia, then explain what is good for you from the presence of oil and gas in the country?
      In the USA and Europe, gas prices fell by 30% due to falling oil prices. Have gas prices declined in Russia? 30%? What gives you personally the presence of gas and oil in the country?
      In the USA and Europe, with falling gas prices, prices will fall, because shipping costs will be cheaper. Will prices fall in Russia?
      What gives you personally the presence of gas and oil in the country?
      In the USA and Europe, 100% of the population have gas / electricity, in Russia 30% of the population is not gasified. ““ It's a shame when the country that produces the most gas in the world nevertheless has such a low level of gasification of the population. ” This loud statement was made by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev last July. ”
      Question - What does the presence of gas and oil in the country personally give you?
      The untouchable (for rights!) Reserve Fund of Norway is so huge that it allows each (!) Citizen to receive $ 170 thousand. per month for 20 years.
      “Few other oil-rich states find themselves in such an enviable position. Some of them, including Russia, also have buffer funds to mitigate the effects of the Dutch disease in their economies. But the difference is that Norway treats its foundation as sacred, and Moscow readily plunges into its own when it needs extra money. ”
      The question is, if you are not a representative of the Kremlin, then what does the presence of gas and oil in the country personally give you? Why such pride in what does not benefit the inhabitants of the country?

Parliament also approved a bill on a contract with the Vilada company on geological exploration and oil production in block 23. Syrian Oil Minister Ali Ghanem said that block 23 with an area of ​​2159 square kilometers is located north of Damascus. According to Ghanem, cooperation with the Mercury company began within the framework of the protocol of the intergovernmental commission in Sochi in 2017, then negotiations were carried out on work in "fields northeast of the Euphrates." Block 7 is located in Trans-Euphrates and covers an area of ​​9531 square kilometers.
      The minister said that the reserves at each block are at least 250 billion cubic meters of gas.

    Especially for those who still believe that the stork brings children that the United States came to Syria for oil.
    Even in the good pre-war times, Syria produced only about 400 thousand barrels of medium-quality oil per day, of which 80% was consumed by itself immediately. (For comparison, Libya produces 1.4 -1.8 million barrels per day, and the entire Middle East produces 28.5 million barrels per day, global consumption up to 89 million barrels per day). U.S. strategic oil reserve only makes up almost 700 million barrels. In other words, this is all Syrian oil to the last drop in 5 (five!) Years of intensive production. With their cash supply, the United States can feed the whole world for a week. hi

    For those interested in the topic:
    Syria has never been a transit hub for oil exports, there are no modernly equipped oil ports, although earlier Iraqi oil was pumped through the pipeline and poured into tankers. Yes, all kinds of banduks poured oil into oil tankers and somewhere (I remember, even to Turkey) sold it in small ways, but this is all rubbish in the general oil flow.
    Oil flows around the world from the Middle East go in three directions: through the Arabian Sea to the Asian market or, bending around Africa with access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the last option - through the Suez Canal and across the Mediterranean to European markets.
    More than 80% of cargo ships that go to the Mediterranean Sea do not even approach the shores of Syria. A few hundred kilometers near the border of Syria there is a large port in Turkey, which unites oil flows from Iraq and Azerbaijan - Ceyhan Oil Terminal, which has a peak load of up to 2 million barrels per day, but actually makes out about 1.1 million barrels per day. Syria, with its oil capabilities, has nothing to do there. hi

    Why machines, medicine, etc. ? Pump oil and sell, and we live. Prices have dropped, well, people will pay, the rate is 20% cps.
    Want gas stations cheaper? But how will they receive less now? No, people will pay.

    Only the sadness is that they themselves have no brains. Because of the amount of dough they already do not see the banks. Instead of dropping by 1-1.5 million barrels, getting $ 55-65, they pondered and got $ 30-35. And the most interesting thing is that the Saudis, Iraq, Kuwait are "offended" and offer "on our" European market for $ 25, ie generally survives from our place, and if they really do not stop, then this is a collapse for the country. you have to pay the National Guard, the army, public sector employees, there will be nothing for pensions.
    Yes, there is a "pillow" of 570 billion, but in case of economic recession, this money will go to zero in less than a year ... It is unrealistic to build an economy that does not depend on oil and gas in a year, two, three, four.
    Sadites have a cost of $ 8, we have $ 20, i.e. at $ 25 they earn 200% we are 20% which is complete .....
    + In Syria (+ let's count Donbass as gum aid) there is a war and this is a huge cost. There is such a conventional concept that you can be "aggressive" at a cost of $ 77 or more ... Do you understand?
    Well, we would have allies, so we are not like allies, but enemies with their sleeves rolled up - 3 Baltic states, Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Japan. It turns out generally on all fronts.
    All right, the situation in our country has just begun, so now the poor are chasing the poor and the poor. And now prices will rise. The people will become even more impoverished, this will lead to a "stagnation" in sales, and this will lead to even lower taxes. Contractions will begin ...
    In short, the only option is to kneel for the Saudis and crawl at your feet.
    But the fact that we (the people) will be stripped even more is a fact.
    Well, how daring nat projects voiced to implement it even out of the general understanding.

    Ps
    In the case of the Saudis, when oil prices fell, the rate remained the same.
    In Norway, it has fallen by 3%, now it is again back almost at the same position.
    Gas prices in America have fallen, and by the way in Ukraine, too.

Yes, all kinds of banduks poured oil into oil tankers and somewhere (I remember, even to Turkey) sold it in small ways, but this is all rubbish in the general oil flow.
    Oil flows around the world from the Middle East go in three directions: through the Arabian Sea to the Asian market or, bending around Africa with access to the Atlantic Ocean, and the last option - through the Suez Canal and across the Mediterranean to European markets.
    More than 80% of cargo ships that go to the Mediterranean Sea do not even approach the shores of Syria. A few hundred kilometers near the border of Syria there is a large port in Turkey, which unites oil flows from Iraq and Azerbaijan - Ceyhan Oil Terminal, which has a peak load of up to 2 million barrels per day, but actually makes out about 1.1 million barrels per day. Syria, with its oil capabilities, has nothing to do there. hi


    Absolutely.
    Another twinkle is that the Kurds supported by the Americans now have most of the reserves in the fields.
    We have a smaller one. The only point is the exploration contracts, but this time, not a year or two, but decades + well, the cost of Syrian oil production is the same as ours is $ 20-25, i.e. this is not saudi oil at $ 5-8 per barrel

    Especially for those who still believe that the stork brings children that the United States came to Syria for oil.
    Even in the good pre-war times, Syria produced only about 400 thousand barrels of medium-quality oil per day, of which 80% was consumed by itself immediately. (For comparison, Libya produces 1.4 -1.8 million barrels per day, and the entire Middle East produces 28.5 million barrels per day, global consumption up to 89 million barrels per day). U.S. strategic oil reserve only makes up almost 700 million barrels. In other words, this is all Syrian oil to the last drop in 5 (five!) Years of intensive production. With their cash supply, the United States can feed the whole world for a week. hi

    occupation of the territory of another state in order to profit.
    ... Vasco da Gamma, sailed to India not through cultural exchanges, and the colonization of America and Africa was carried out, not to provide humanitarian assistance .... one thing is not clear who will expel the red fox from the Syrian house?
