"China National
Petroleum Corp (CNPC) has emerged as the frontrunner to take over

U.S.-led invasion."
Fuel
truckers warn of shortages on the Refinery’s rationing (Dominican
Republic)
"The
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources has categorically
said that it will not allow supply of gas to power companies
for increasing electricity production, if the firms have no money
to make payments for the fuel, officials say."
"Crude
marketers need to convince refiners their oil is worth paying a
premium for and to undertake expensive investments to be
able to process it."
Iraq
was going to hit 12 mbpd and become the new Saudi Arabia in a few
years. It will never happen. -- RF
"Anti
windfarm campaigners in Sutherland say they are not surprised by new
research which has found that many costly onshore turbines
are wearing out prematurely. Data collated in the UK and
Denmark suggests they last between 10 and 15 years – and not
the '20 to 25 years' projected by the industry."
