Saddam Hussein is preparing a dramatic intervention in the Middle East crisis, Arab Gulf sources believe. He is expected to offer to resume supplies of Iraqi oil - cut off last Thursday - in exchange for a `tax` of around 25 cents a barrel for the Palestinians, writes Brian Whitaker .
If the ploy succeeds, it will be seen by millions of Arabs and Muslims as a political master-stroke, setting the seal on Saddam`s rehabilitation despite the brutality of his regime.

The 25 cent levy on Iraqi oil - worth $500,000 a day - would almost certainly provoke public pressure on Opec, the Organisation of Oil Exporting Countries, to put a similar levy on all its members` oil. This in turn would give the Palestinians around $2.8 billion in a full year.

All this fresh money, added to the $1bn funds established by the Arab League last October, would outstrip the $3bn a year given to Israel by the United States.

The United Nations Sanctions Committee wants all Iraqi oil revenue to be be channelled through the Oil for Food programme. This provides food and other approved products to the Iraqi people, and compensates victims of the 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

Irak will Rohölexport wiederaufnehmen
Irak will nach seinem jüngsten Konflikt mit den Vereinten Nationen (UN) den Rohölexport bis Januar wiederaufnehmen. Ölminister Amer Mohammed Raschid sagte auf einer Pressekonferenz am Sonntag, Irak arbeite mit den Kontrolleuren der Vereinten Nationen zusammen, um nach dem Öl- für Lebensmittel-Programm wieder die volle Menge Rohöl ausführen zu können. Offenbar in den Bestreben, die UN-Sanktionen zu umgehen, hatte der Irak gefordert, sein Öl für 50 Cent unter dem Weltmarktpreis verkaufen zu dürfen und die Differenz auf ein Regierungskonto in Bagdad einzahlen zu lassen (F.A.Z. vom 2. Dezember). Das UN-Sanktionskomitee lehnte diese Forderung ab. Zuvor hatte Saudi-Arabien angekündigt, seine Ölförderung zu erhöhen, falls die Situation auf den internationalen Märkten dies erforderlich mache. Ölminister Ali el Naimi sagte in Riad, die Ölstaaten stünden in der Verantwortung,, die Förderung zu erhöhen, wenn es die Lage erfordere. Er wies darauf hin, dass die Organisation erdölexportierender Länder noch eine zusätzliche Produktionskapazität von etwa 2,5 Millionen Fass täglich aufweise. 70 Prozent davon entfielen auf sein Land. Das sei genug, um eine sichere Versorgung zu garantieren.

Iraq stands firm in its demand for oil surcharge

Whatever the consequences for the economy in the short term, Iraq will stand firm in its decision to halt oil exports until buyers agree to the 50-cent-a-barrel surcharge that Iraq demands be paid outside UN sanctions controls, according to Trade Minister Mohammed Mahdi Saleh.

"And we have also taken a decision not to supply companies which sell our oil to the U.S. or Britain, and others opposed to the Arab people. Such companies will be placed under a partial or full ban," the minister said.

Iraq, which produces about 2.5 million barrels a day and makes up 5 per cent of world oil exports, halted exports on December 1, but indicated yesterday that it was ready to resume pumping. The surcharge was to be used to maintain and upgrade Iraq`s oil infrastructure.

Saleh termed the U.S. willingness to tap its Strategic Petroleum Reserves to help make up for lost Iraqi crude as fraught with risk. "And the gap that has been created by us not exporting is not something that can be filled easily, even if Saudi Arabia or others were to crank up their production. Our decision is a firm one.

It`s a continuation of the Iraqi struggle against the U.S. and the British and their aggressive stance on continuing with sanctions against our country. "We are not asking for a lot, and it does not cover all the expenses of our oil sector. But the surcharge is needed to meet the function of exporting the oil.

"The surcharge is needed to meet the high expenses associated with the maintenance of our oil industry requirements. Four years back, we had to endure the high costs of upgrading the infrastructure ourselves. This time, we need to change that."

As to whether Iraq can afford not export considering current high oil prices, Saleh said, "We are always optimistic about any decision we take. Going back to the recent past, everybody was saying Iraq would not survive for six months once sanctions start.

"Now for 11 years we have shown Iraq can resist and be resilient against any sanctions. "Iraq also has revenue requirements for improving its school facilities, electricity, sewerage and create job opportunities for its people. It`s time the Iraqi people started to really benefit from the export of their oil rather than bear expenses."

Iraq uses its oil export income for UN-approved imports of food and medicines. The minister declined to comment on current stocks of these items, or how long they will last. But he said only 25 per cent of oil export revenues were made available to meet Iraq`s requirements, and the rest went for war reparations and UN funding.

Even there, out of an allocated $10.61 billion for food, Iraq received only $6.4 billion between early 1997 and November 29, 2000. In the case of medicines, out of $24.01 billion, only $902 million has been received by Iraq.

For agriculture, of the total $2.97 billion required, Iraq has received only $451.6 million. For housing and industry, no revenues have been received at all, according to figures provided by the minister.

Wenn ich mir anschaue, wie der Saddam seinen Staatshaushalt finanziert, ist der ganze Trara schon fast lächerlich. Der macht jetzt mal wieder Wirbel, was er ja gut kann. Und dann liefert er munter weiter, wahrscheinlich sogar mehr als vorher. Denn das ist ja sein eigentliches Ziel, weil er das Geld will.

Schaun wir mal ! Iraq evaluates new U.N. Dec oil prices - official

December 6, 2000 1:37am
Source: Reuters


DUBAI, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Iraqi oil officials were poring over a new United Nations proposal for December crude oil prices on Wednesday, raising hopes for an imminent end to a pricing dispute which had halted Iraq`s oil sales since December 1.

An Iraqi oil official declined to comment on whether the U.N.`s oil overseers had shown sufficient compromise with their new December price proposals.

``We have to study them first,`` he told Reuters.

Some 2.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of Iraq`s U.N.-supervised oil sales have been suspended since Friday after the world body rejected Baghdad`s original prices as too low.

But Iraq, repeatedly insisting it had no intention of stopping exports, has been signalling flexibility on the pricing front.

Iraqi Oil Minister Amir Muhammed Rasheed told OPEC Secretary-General Rilwanu Lukman that Baghdad was in urgent talks with the U.N. to resolve the export halt, the OPEC news agency reported on Tuesday.

The nub of the pricing spat was Iraq`s demand that customers pay a 50-cent per barrel surcharge outside the U.N. control, industry sources said. Oil traders said Baghdad`s original December prices were deliberately under-priced by 50 cents to compensate for the surcharge.

But Iraq`s U.N. envoy Saeed Hasan said on Monday that no formal proposal was made on the surcharge and that it should not be included in the pricing discussions.

Baghdad has meanwhile yet to respond officially to the U.N.`s extension of the oil-for-food programme for another six-month phase.

The deal allows Iraq to sell oil, under U.N. supervision, to buy food, medicine, oil equipment and a host of other goods in an effort to ease the impact of U.N. sanctions. The embargoes were imposed in August 1990 after Iraq invaded Kuwait. ^ REUTERS@

Leute die Lage ist absolut dramatisch !

"Conservation is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy." - Vice President Dick Cheney on May 1 .

A new society based on conservation and renewable energy is in the offing, and sooner than you might think. Why? Petroleum is running out. Yes, I know you`ve heard that before, but the truth is that fossil fuels are no longer economically justifiable and are a sure path to destruction. In discounting conservation as a major component of a national energy policy, Vice President Dick Cheney and President Bush have denied stark reality.

It would be nice to just ignore today`s energy policy as irrational. Any grade-schooler knows the Earth contains only so much petroleum. But, in refusing to institute a rational policy, we are losing precious time for a successful transition to sustainable energy. This has implications for everyone: an acceleration in global warming, rising costs of gasoline and electricity, an increasingly toxic lifestyle.

As the White House has undoubtedly heard, under the most optimistic scenario the oil reserves in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would fuel the U.S. car fleet for less than two years. Did that fact just go in one ear and out the other? Or do Dick and George not care to understand energy except from an oil-patch partisan stance?

Several decades ago, drilling and pumping oil in the United States was amazingly energy efficient: it took one barrel of energy to extract 50. Today, however, for new U.S. wells it takes on average about one barrel to get another. Despite rises in costs such as extraction, oil prices are still low because of government subsidies. That`s helped fuel demand. Supply is another matter.

U.S. oil production peaked three decades ago. As soon as global oil production peaks in the next several years, the ensuing down-slope will not be gentle.

Demand, with world trade relying on oil for shipping, is about to meet ever- shrinking supply. Estimates of when this shortfall is to hit put it quite possibly during Bush`s tenure at the White House. Time to switch to natural gas? Natural gas is on a bell curve of depletion similar to oil. As for coal, it is the least attractive fossil fuel - not just from the pollution standpoint.

There is not much anyone can do about the energy picture except conserve to the max, even with a concerted all-out effort to encourage the use of renewable energy. Even though renewables will be vital, they don`t have high net-energy ratios, and renewables do not yield much in the way of asphalt, tires, pesticides and other pillars of industrial living, that oil does for consumers. The size of our population puts us way out on a limb of petroleum dependence.

The end of abundant, cheap oil means the end of our culture of overconsumption. This is where alternative-living solutions come in. With locally based trade and cooperative survival strategies, some of us will withstand the loss of those trucks coming regularly to the supermarkets. We may learn to love using just one-tenth of the energy we use gluttonously today instead of ranting about the high cost of gasoline and electricity. We will be sharing appliances, gardening in former driveways and traveling less. Lives will not be lost wholesale to car crashes and disease from exhaust fumes. It is going to be a vastly different culture - unimaginable to today`s die-hard fossil consumers.

George Bush and Dick Cheney may make decisions, but the dwindling supply of petroleum will soon emerge as the real driver. Meanwhile, the planet`s climate is going awry. We must leave the fossils behind and embrace the new Age of Conservation.

Bank says UK’s oil output on the slide

Britain`s oil production is at its lowest output levels since 1995, new figures out today have revealed.

In June, production dropped to below the two million barrels a day mark with average daily production being valued at £39.23 million, according to economists at the Royal Bank of Scotland.

This average daily value was almost £10m down on comparable figures for June last year.

The slump has been blamed on summer maintenance periods where rigs were closed for overhaul, uncertainty over future oil prices and the knock-on effects of diminished investment over the past two years, RBS said. The bank’s oil and gas index fell from 131.8 in May to 121.1 in June, and average daily output fell from 2.17 million barrels a day to 1.993 million barrels a day.

And the daily value of oil produced in June, at £39.23m, was £3.8m lower than May’s level.

Oil prices in June fell in both dollar and sterling terms and have since weakened further to about $25 a barrel, said the bank’s economists.

And prices could have further to fall, they said.

Tony Wood, an oil and gas economist at RBS, said: "In the longer term, market demand is weakening, world supply is increasing, and OPEC continues to produce well beyond its quota levels, suggesting further downward pressure in prices over the coming months."

The RBS at the start of the year had predicted that oil production in the UK would average about 2.4 million barrels a day over the course of the year before beginning to show a decline.

Mr Wood added that the bank’s original forecast had been too optimistic.

"Based on production for the first six months of this year, we expect average oil production of 2.21 million barrels a day for 2001." This is a drop of about eight per cent on last year.

However, there was better news on gas production where figures showed production for the month averaged £11.83m a day, with production for the year expected to match last year’s historic peak. Most of Britain’s oil production comes from the North Sea.

Aberdeen-based energy bank Simmons & Company International had warned that despite the RBS’s optimism for oil production it was misguided.

The company’s vice president Roger Read said oil fields were slowing output by about 11 per cent a year and that there was no prospect of any new ones coming onstream in the near future - except for Edinburgh Oil & Gas’ recently discovered Buzzard field, described within the industry as "one of the most significant finds in recent times".

One oil analyst said: "Buzzard is expected to add about one million barrels a day to current levels but it won’t be added to the numbers for a while yet."

The drop in oil production follows in the wake of recent news of a recruitment crisis in the industry, with UK oil explorers facing an acute skills shortage in the North Sea.

This could be a stumbling block for expansion plans that have been prompted by the high price of oil, analysts said.

Although oil exploration is increasing, recruitment is not. About 40 per cent of the North Sea’s offshore workforce is aged over 40, and that number will rise to 60 per cent in the next five years, a spokesman for BP said.

US oil prices jump on rate cut



New York - US oil prices roared higher on Tuesday, fuelled by a fresh cut to US interest rates and expectations that stored gasoline supplies took another tumble last week.

Prices kicked higher after the Federal Reserve on Tuesday cut US interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, its seventh rate reduction this year, and signalled it was poised to do more to bolster a flagging economy.

September crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) rose 72 cents to $27.90 a barrel. Gasoline rose 3.39 cents to 77.70 a gallon, a second straight day of big gains after prices slid more than ten percent last week.

Solid demand and problems at US refineries were expected to have drawn down supplies in the American Petroleum Institute (API)`s weekly supply report released after close of trade.

Analysts saw gasoline stocks falling 1.6 million barrels in the API report, potentially a sixth straight weekly fall.

Assurances by major Opec producers of compliance to new output quotas, which will cut a million barrels daily from the group`s output from Sept. 1 also underpinned the market.

Crude briefly touched near three week lows on Tuesday partly on concerns that Opec`s supply cut will not be enforced strictly enough to offset sluggish demand in a slower world economy.

"We will produce exactly to our quota in September," Iran`s Opec Governor Hossein Kazempour Ardebili told Reuters. "Iran has been among the most (quota) adherent Opec countries."

Kazempour foresaw no need for a further output adjustment when the oil exporting cartel gathers on Sept. 26 in Vienna. Saudi Arabia signaled its own assurances on Monday, saying it will comply fully with its new output limits.

"Saudi Arabia will adhere 100% to our new quota," a Saudi official told Reuters. "Our September nominations and exports will reflect that we are adhering fully to our new quota."

Opec has cut 3.5 million bpd of production this year in an attempt to protect prices at around $25 a barrel within its preferred $22-$28 range for a reference basket of crudes.
