		Oil producing counties not only demanded control of their own political destinies, but were determined to be free of economic colonialism in all its forms.
		Consequently, as a corollary, the oil companies publicly 'posted' prices for Middle East oil, and they were used as the official basis to figure the payments of royalty and income taxes to host governments.
		Nevertheless, the problem of how profits from oil development would be shared between most countries and oil companies was one of the most controversial ingredients in the explosive, international witch's brew mixed in the Middle East cauldron.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - The cost of “clean gas” -- FTC investigates patent scam
		Last month, the FTC accused Union Oil of California (Unocal) of engaging in fraud and anti-competitive behaviour by illegally securing patents that gave the El Segundo-based oil giant a stranglehold on a formula for cleaner-burning gasoline.
		Instead of each refiner or oil company producing slightly different mixes of RFG -- which would entail higher prices and supply difficulties -- the idea was to agree upon a single formula, or "recipe" for RFG that would satisfy the regulatory requirement.
		It deceived not only California consumers and regulators, but also other members of its industry who were making a good-faith effort to clean up the environment in a cost-effective way and who, unlike Unocal, weren't trying to manipulate the regulatory process for extra profit.

	Our Unfree Stock Market, CNOOC, and Mr. Gaffney by Michael S. Rozeff
		For the world, proven oil reserves are roughly 1,000 billion barrels and 6 billion new barrels are discovered each year, while about 25–30 billion barrels are consumed annually.
		Proven and untapped oil reserves located in China and the U.S. are roughly equal at about 4% each of the total world reserves or about 25 billion barrels.
		If Mideast oil is made less certain by war, if the U.S. seeks to control greater amounts of oil, then other countries naturally react by seeking their own supply sources and building up reserves.
