	Oil imperialism theories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oil imperialism theories characterize a broad group of political science theories which assert that direct and indirect control of world petroleum reserves is a root factor in current international politics.
		Some theories hold that access to oil defined 20th century empires and was the key to the ascendance of the United States as the world's sole superpower and explain why Russia was able to sustain itself for so long despite poor economic organization.

		Before EG is to be allowed a share in its own oil, the oil companies must have generated sufficient income for themselves to repay the whole of their investment in the oil industry of EG, including the cost of exploration.
		In addition, the oil companies were, until 1998, free of any obligation to pay import taxes in respect of anything they chose to import, with the result that they had little or no incentive to obtain any of their requirements locally.
		The contribution of oil revenues to the public purse is between 12-19% of export values, while in Gabon, Cameroon and Nigeria it is 30%, 48% and 40% respectively.

		However, oil's unique role as a transportation fuel makes reducing its CO emissions a particularly thorny problem; amelioration strategies such as carbon sequestering are generally geared for large power plants, not individual tailpipes.
		Proponents of peak oil theory also refer as an example of their theory, that when any given oil well produces oil in similar volumes to the amount of water used to obtain the oil, it tends to produce less oil afterwards, leading to the relatively quick exhaustion and/or commercial unviablility of the well in question.
		The oil is landed at Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetlands.

	Oil Imperialism and the US-Israel Relationship, Noam Chomsky interviewed by Roger Hurwitz, David Woolf & Sherman ...
		Furthermore, there is "widespread acceptance among energy experts of the fairness of today's oil prices" which "are merely what had long be expected by the end of the 1970s anyway..."9 One person's "fairness," of course, is another's "cruel exploitation," but those with the power are generally in the former camp, not only in this regard.
		As long as the state uses its power to enhance "profits beyond the dreams of avarice,"12 as in the case of the oil companies, and to secure the conditions for their enhancement it is hardly necessary for those concerned directly with business operations to attempt to intervene in affairs of state.
		The Middle East oil reserves are, by a very large margin, the largest and the cheapest energy resources in the world, and whoever has control over them runs a good part of the world.

		Oil and gas supplies are now much more geographically diverse than they were even ten years ago.
		Control of Iraq’s oil reserves, the hawks believe, will allow the US to break the powerful influence on the oil market of the Saudi regime, as well as smashing OPEC.
		One of their delusions is that cheap oil (if they secure it) will dissolve the deep-rooted crisis in the world capitalist economy.

	The New U.S.-British Oil Imperialism
		The U.S. invasion of Iraq to loot its oil and politically restructure the Middle East, is part of a policy of military imperialism that the American and British ruling circles have been engaged in for several centuries.
		Oil imperialism rests on our continued dependence on oil, which not only threatens the future of humanity through prolonged and bloody conflict, but through another even more insidious threat--climate change and ecological collapse.
		Oil imperialism flourishes when a supine press cheers and a groveling congress grants unconstitutional authority to the oil-saturated Demonic Cabal.

		The worst effect of this recurring oil panic is that it has driven Western political circles toward oil imperialism and attempts to assert direct or indirect control over oil-producing regions.
		Oil is trapped in porous subsurface rocks, which makes it difficult to estimate how much oil there is and how much can be effectively extracted.
		Two centuries later, oil took the place of coal as "the king of energy sources" because of its convenience and its high flexibility in many applications, but coal was neither exhausted nor scarce.

		Violent provocation is standard: war is oil, oil is war -- this is the way imperialism expects to gain control in the last and frequent resort.
		The US embassy report on Chechenia says the future of its highgrade oil will not be as great as before the war, but that it was possible to restore the pipeline as a transit route for Caspian oil.
		And oil companies are searching every possible pipeline route to get around any obstacle: from Baku to the Turkish Mediterranean coast at Ceyhan; from the Black Sea Bulgarian port of Burgas to the Greek port of Alexandroupolis; from Chardzhou in Turkmenistan to Pakistan's new port of Gwardark via Afghanistan, and so the options multiply.

	To those who think Iraq is about oil or imperialism - TechIMO Forums
		The easiest way to achive lower oil prices and such is to normalize relationship with IRAQ and get their oil on the market.
		Imperialism is a rediculous charge and un founded, absurd, idiotic, moronic and basically lacking in fact.
		Oil will also be used to rebuild the nation of Iraq and funnel the money back into Iraqi society.

		There is now a huge contest in the region both for the control of the oil deposits and for the control of the pipelines which will take the oil to the west.
		But what is clear is that the interests of the people in the region are being subordinated to the machinations of the Great Powers in their lust for oil profits.
		At the end of the twentieth century, just as in the middle of the nineteenth century, it is still the peasants and workers of the region who suffer -- living in terrible poverty, and dying as cannon fodder in the wars.

		Washington rejects all accusations that it invaded Iraq for oil, but the bitter fact is that Washington policy researchers were asked to settle plans to privatize Iraq's oil wealth since the invasion occurrence in 2003.
		America needs 22 million oil barrels a day to keep its economy on the road, so it is trying to guarantee a constant presence on the Iraqi territory laying on massive oil reserves, which makes it the world’s second largest oil reserves.
		In fact, this manipulation over others’ oil supplies would be either acquired by strong military might or by building strong ties or by peaceful means, as the report predicts that by 2020 the U.S. will consume two-thirds imported oil.

		The oil sands are found in three different deposits in northern Alberta: Athabasca, Peace River and Cold Lake.

		The UN had agreed to permit Iraq to export $2 billion worth of oil with the money earmarked for the purchase of food and medicine but President Clinton ordered a "freeze" on that agreement as part of the current anti-Iraqi offensive.

	Top Polish Spy Warns of Russian Oil Imperialism
		WARSAW -- Russia is seeking to re-establish its grip on ex-communist countries in Central Europe through its near monopoly on oil and gas, a former Polish chief spy says.
		Zbigniew Siemiatkowski, a senior figure in the ruling left, told a parliamentary inquiry that as part of this drive Russian oil firms were seeking control of their peers in ex-Soviet satellites, many of which are now European Union members.
		"I agree that we are facing a restoration of the Russian Empire through economic means and with the principle of 'yesterday tanks, today oil'," Siemiatkowski told the inquiry on Wednesday, according to a transcript released by parliament.
