  3. China has been losing craploads of money because of US tariffs. Now they play patty cake with Iraq. They will rebuild the country, Iraq will ship them all the oil they need. Do you think China is going to invest money with a country whose money isn't worth the price of a KitKat bar??? I think they are telling them to revalue their currency and then they will regain all the money they have lost from the tariffs and then some. Any thoughts???

  5. 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling ... Iraq and these countries do not put out their money supply. They do not tell people exactly what their money supply is. But they did a couple of years ago by mistake. They said they were at 4 billion notes... according to this guru there's... 80 Trillion dinar out there which is equal to 80 billion dollars or something like that... that's not true... they're reading a report that tells everybody what their country is worth. It's NOT their money supply. Here's the difference. What's your house worth? What's your car worth? What's your property worth? That's one report. Another report would be how much do you have in your pocket? How much Cash do you have? That's what I'm talking about. For some reason people aren't getting this... when I got into this investment they had about 12 billion notes...

  9. I have been a member here since 2011 and following this site since it first opened and NOT ONCE has Adam engaged in any wild “Alice in Wonderland “ fantasy about the direction of the dinar or news surrounding it. It aggravates me when “ people like you” use words like “we” as if to suggest you are some how aware how the rest of us feel about news that Adam brings. You don’t know if that’s your assessment of the general feeling here. A better guess is that most here have taken time to keep up with the rest of the class and read actual news brought by our newshounds like Yota, Thug, and others. This remains the only site I’ve personally seen that stays grounded. In the meantime CE please feel free to follow my advice below 😁:

  14. 9-20-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff ...Based on news we could not be at a better point in this investment. We are in the best position we've ever been in. Iraq is at the end of the road right now. Based on their own news they have reached the end of their road . Either they have to release news telling us that they're going to start something new or they're at a point where they just have to finish the formation of the government so they're no longer boxed in that corner and they can advance to their new beginning which is the rate change. We look amazing. We have to see this play out. The current period that we're in right now is the best news we've every had throughout the history of this investment. It does not get any better than this. Next week is going to be red hot... 9-20-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Anything is possible in Iraq. But considering the IMF is the trustee over the CBI it is unlikely a LOP would be something the IMF would approve of. I would only see that occurring if the economic conditions failed for the development of the market economy and left no other option...If they launch the market economy as they have been aggressively trying to move towards and have presented it to be included in the budget of 2020, then I see no reason for a LOP... 9-20-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana There are some rumblingsssss right now! This recent development with China may be “more than meets the eye”, and I’m hearing some encouraging things about the oil law...I don’t want to get too giddy right now, but we might have a heck of a week coming up...You can view Adam's entire commentary in the Chat Logs Forum in: Adam Montana Weekly 18 September 2019

  15. Iraqi PM in China on 7-day visit amid reconstruction efforts Kurdistan 24 | 8 hours ago https://www.kurdistan24.net/en/news/ab780617-8cda-4cf6-8c5d-dff703d581b6 Iraqi Prime Minister, Adil Abdul Mahdi, during a press conference in Baghdad. (Photo: PM's office) Iraq China Baghdad Beijing A+AA- ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi on Thursday arrived in Hefei, China on an official visit to the country at the head of a large delegation. He is accompanied by 55 high ranking individuals, including ministers, officials, and provincial governors and will remain in China until Sept. 24. China is one of Iraq’s largest trading partners, from which it imports many products including electronics and construction material. In mid-April, a senior delegation from the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) arrived in Baghdad and met with a number of Iraqi officials. “China is the second largest economy in the world,” Abdul Mahdi said in a TV interview before his departure, adding, it “has great liquidity and advanced technology.” The Prime Minister said, “We have dozens of joint projects with China on issues of armament, oil and others,” noting, “Iraq was the first to sign the draft Silk Road Agreement.” Iraqi officials have previously called on China for support in the reconstruction of the country, which suffered much destruction during the so-called Islamic State’s takeover of a third of its land and the subsequent operations against the terrorist organization. Abdul Mahdi said his visit to China would bring “positive results” and that Iraq would start “a speedy reconstruction of infrastructure” upon his return. In an interview with the state-run al-Sabah news outlet on Wednesday, China’s ambassador to Iraq, Zhang Tao, said Abdul Mahdi’s visit would mark a new phase in bilateral ties. Seemingly, China’s engagement would extend to areas of electricity, water purification, construction of schools, hospitals, housing units, as well as transportation-related projects, Tao said, adding that Chinese companies would prioritize services “urgently needed” by the Iraqi public. The envoy also said that Beijing would incentivize more Chinese companies to enter the Iraqi market and help with reconstruction, as well as the training personnel in various fields.

"Inside China and abroad, we wish you more brilliance, achievement and progress." It is a great pleasure for me and the great Iraqi delegation coming from Mesopotamia to participate in this meeting which brings us together the sons of the Mesopotamian civilization with the sons of the ancient Chinese civilization, where together we have provided mankind with many achievements in various sciences and knowledge, and we communicate with you today to sustain cooperation and partnership to serve our Iraqi, Chinese and peoples. the whole world". It is appropriate to shed some light on the importance of relations between the Republic of Iraq and the People's Republic of China, from its civilizational and humanitarian aspects that extend throughout the same history, as well as reflecting the current stage of certain aspirations to a fruitful strategic partnership, and to seek to embody the bonds of history and cohesion with cooperation based on constructive trust and desire Certainly in achieving what befits the convergence of the glory of the civilization of Mesopotamia, which provided humanity to write with the Chinese civilization with all its knowledge and knowledge. The astonishing resilience of our people and their amazing will quickly took him out of the dark tunnel, and he never restored his legend as a giant spirit that always rises from the nations' republics, and the phoenix, which rises from the ashes every time. It is not far from this picture that striking symmetry with the friendly China, for its part, through at least the first half of the twentieth century, of serious events and dangerous conditions, wars and devastating effects, but was able by the will and determination of its people, and the wisdom of its political, public and partisan leadership, to overcome this The calamities, and rise to China to put it in a very advanced status as a great nation, and a powerful economic power, and embodies this remarkable step exemplary. What I have said now is to make it clear that Iraq needs more than ever to the momentum of its influential Asian and Chinese relations in particular in a direction that restores Iraq to its vital role, effective and influential, and to its people and dignified life, taking into account that the harsh conditions and the collapse of most of the infrastructure And the delay in the fields of development, calling for the convergence of our two countries in the campaign of advancement, which we strongly adopt.

Although our two countries have always achieved fruitful meetings on more than one occasion, we hope and hope that the leaderships of the two countries will fulfill on this occasion their most hopes related to real achievements in the land that benefit our two countries and peoples, and that the great march, this time, will be achieved together through the Belt and Road Initiative and the close link between the two countries. Near East and Middle East. I would like to announce here that I will meet with President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping, Premier Li Ki-xiang and Chinese leaders to work hard to establish a strong platform for the common interests of both countries, benefiting from the sobriety and durability of China's industrial and technology sectors. In recent decades, we have established a firm presence in all fields of development and development, and it is our sincere desire to open the doors of investment and partnership in many fields. Iraqis have begun a new era of stability, and the country is moving towards the reconstruction and the optimal investment of energies and human resources and natural, working on the land of Iraq thousands of companies, and compete for broad investment opportunities in all provinces, and we take this opportunity to extend the invitation to major Chinese and international companies to work and invest in Iraq In the sectors of energy, telecommunications, roads, dams, water, agriculture, industry, infrastructure and other fields supported by an encouraging legislative environment and safe conditions and aspires to provide jobs for thousands of citizens. During my meetings, I will call on Chinese companies to contribute and work vigorously and effectively in the renaissance of Iraq and rebuild its infrastructure. We will ensure that we facilitate and overcome the difficulties that face this role and its details through a central committee that will ensure the appropriate conditions and opportunities for these companies. The desire of our two countries to work together to a high level of readiness.

  24. Hallelujah! I have beat Cancer two times in two years. In Dec 2017 I was diagnosed with progressive Mantel Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It is a blood cancer that affects the Lymph System in the body. I went to MDAnderson in Houston but I refused to take Chemo. I used a healthy Vegan diet and vitamins and minerals to build up my immune system. It made me feel better but did not cure the cancer. I went back to MDAnderson and saw a different doctor who put me on a study using two non-chemo drugs that were FDA approved. They wiped out the cancer in about 3 months. When they thought that the cancer had come back they took me off the study but could not find any live cancer cells. I was cancer free for about 8 months until I got into some nasty chemicals in a bag of potting soil and had a reaction to it that gave me a severe rash that covered 80% of my body. I went to 3 different dermatologist and they could not tell me what the rash was or how to cure it. I finally went back to my oncologist and he put me in the hospital on heavy steroids. They finally got the rash under control but the cancer had come back. We talked about the different options I had for the cancer. They could not put me back on the previous study that worked and they finally talked me into using one chemo drug and one of the previous drugs that cured the cancer the first time. The drug was called Revlimid. ($26,000 for 21 pills). Had it not been for a grant from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Part D of Medicare I wouldn't have been able to take it. In fact I wish I had never taken it. That crap almost killed me. I was supposed to take one pill a day for 21 days and them off for 7 days. I took one pill and immediately the rash came back with a vengeance. I wound up back in the hospital for a week and back on steroids to get rid of the rash. Meanwhile I was off the Revlimid. The day after being released from the hospital they told me to resume the Revlimid. Took one pill two days in a row and would up back in the hospital for 15 days. Got double pneumonia, a meglavirus and blood clots in my lungs. The blood clots felt like I was having a heart attack. They took me off all medications except blood thinner and a super strong antibiotic and put me on oxygen 24/7. Within 3 days after being taken off meds I began to feel better. Nowhere near 100% but better than when I was on about 8 different medications. Before I went into the hospital the last time, a friend of my daughter's told her about a guy from Oklahoma named Joe Tippens and told her to tell me to look up his story on the internet. I looked him up and went to https://www.mycancerstory.rocks . Joe was a patient at MDAnderson. He had small cell lung cancer that metastasized and spread over his whole body. The doctors finally told him that there was nothing else that they could do for him and they sent him home with about 3 months to live. Read the story on his blog, It tells it better than I can. Anyway what he wound up doing after talking to a Veterinarian that graduated from OSU like he did. He told Joe about research that was being done in the veterinary lab that was using a dog wormer called PanacurC that was 100% effective killing all types of cancer. He started taking PanacurC, Vitamin E and Theracumin. That was 3 years ago and he is still alive with no signs of cancer. I read the story and ordered all the medicines that he recommended. After 3 months on this regimen I went in for a PET Scan at MDAnderson and they could not find any cancer in my lymph system or anywhere else. I tried to talk to them about alternative treatments and diet for cancer but they would not hear of it. They told me to only take what they recommended. You know I did....NOT! When they could not find cancer the oncologist was really a happy camper. He thought that they had cured the cancer again not realizing that they had taken me off all medications and I only took one session of the rutuxin infusion and 3 of the chemo pills that almost killed me. We congratulated them on their success and thanked them for curing my cancer. The true thanks goes to Joe Tippens and his Veterinary friend at OSU. I would be remiss is I did not mention that there were a lot of prayers said in my behalf and Our Heavenly Father had a hand in this miraculous cure. And who is to say that one of these prayers had the Good LORD to direct my daughters friend to lead me to this cure. I conversed with Joe Tippens through email and I was the first success story for Mantel Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. There are many, many more success stories on his blog for all types of cancer. PLEASE, if you have cancer or know of anyone that does have cancer, read or have them read the Joe Tippens Story. It might same their lives. I personally am back to almost 100% activity to where I was before the cancer diagnosis almost 2 years ago and I am more than ready for the RRRRRVVVVVV!!!!!

  25. SOURCE: Fox News Thirsty bikers won’t just settle for any old glass of lemonade — they only stop for the “best lemonade in the state.” That’s exactly what happened in Chili, Ind. when a group of bikers visited an 8-year-old girl’s lemonade stand as part of a surprise they organized for the girl and her mom. Daryn Sturch, mom to 8-year-old Bryanne, shared footage of the sweet moment to Facebook, explaining that she originally met the bikers last year while coming to their aid during a road accident. “My daughter and I pulled up on a motorcycle accident," Sturch wrote of the September 2018 incident, saying that multiple members of the Milwaukee Iron motorcycle group had been involved. "Today they came by for lemonade to surprise my daughter.” The accident took place near Denver, Ind., according to RTV6. Sturch, a nurse, told the outlet that she “ran up to assist” in any way she could. The bikers didn’t forget. They stayed in touch with Sturch, and on Sept. 15, they decided to surprise Bryanne by showing up for a cold glass of lemonade. Bryanne’s grandfather, who called her lemonade the “best lemonade in the state,” also shared the video to Facebook, ending his post with the hashtag #GoodPeopleDoExist — and it’s a message Sturch is hoping the video’s viewers take to heart. “My big takeaway is that I really want people to step back and understand that we can look differently, talk differently, dress differently, have different interests… but just because we are 'different' doesn’t mean that we don’t share the same core values,” Sturch said in a statement shared with Fox News. “It’s about respect, love, kindness, and the desire to serve others.” https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/bikers-indiana-girl-lemonade-stand-motorcycle-accident *****/END OF THE ARTICLE****/ Indy

  26. Ask for investment even in China Friday 20 September 2019 Abdul Zahra Mohammed Hindawi The world has evolved a lot, and is now racing against the wind to reach its goals. It was in China, this country was for them an unknown world, they were not adults, but hard-won, they would have wished, if they were birds, to travel that distance, and reach that wonderland !! Today, everything has changed. Seeking knowledge from China is no longer difficult and dangerous. With the dragon spreading its arms all over the world, there is no country in the universe except China made. This country, with its huge population, has managed to jump, leaps and bounds. Fast, stunned the world, and has many solutions, to address the problems of other countries, after he succeeded in applying those solutions to reality, and achieved a wide renaissance in all areas, the Chinese are no longer dying of hunger, because of poverty, but became a balsam to address the problems of others, They have enormous investments, they have very sophisticated industries, and they have minds that lead Of providing the best, even if they were not, the whole world gobbled between overnight !! Abdul-Mahdi's visit to Beijing, at this time and at this level, comes under intertwined international and regional conditions, will be an important route of the Silk Road, which China is seeking to increase its routes according to the economic feasibility provided by this path or that, It will stir up the appetite of other capitals, which can change their attitudes and speed up their march towards Iraq. There are Koreans who are watching what the Chinese dragon is doing precisely, seeking a balance, or sharing economic influence among the rich countries of the region. They rely a lot on Iraq, But they are still intimidated, perhaps waiting for another country, ahead of them, to open the way for them, and the existence of such competition, and this race would provide a golden opportunity more expensive than silk, to choose the best among these three countries, which represent the whole, A mystery puzzled the world, for the speed of their rapid development, though The results of Abdul-Mahdi's visit to China at the head of a large delegation, including ministers and governors, will be particularly important in the field of roads, railways, housing, health, education and other services projects, and the treatment of slums. In other countries, therefore, memorandums of understanding and agreements will be signed, and we will be on a date with a new Chinese presence entirely different from the previous stage, after the Chinese proved that they are smarter than others, when their companies did not hesitate to enter and work in Iraq, despite Of the conditions faced by the country, no doubt, they You see the visit of the great Iraqi delegation as a message of commitment and a great Iraqi desire to open wide horizons of fruitful cooperation between the two countries. especially as this Super, National. link

  28. Thank you for the oil articles. You know I trade oil stocks so I appreciate all articles on oil. Today was one sloppy trading day for oil. We retraced off the lows from yesterday and looked like we would rally, but they sold us off hard. Right back to yesterday’s low. Rubbish!!! On a Daily chart it looks like we are still needing at least one more down day to fill the gap up from last weeks news. It’s a thrill a minute in the oil patch.

  29. Yes all their contracts will be made in the US dollar because they couldn’t print enough dinar to actually pay in the dinar..lol.. also the dinar is not internationally traded and until they actually are and raise the value of their currency they will always use the dollar. People seem to forget that once the dinar does revalue to say a dollar for example, people assume that wow they have all this extra money to spend. That is absolutely false they have no more money to spend if the dinar is worth a tenth of a penny or the next day is worth 1 to 1 and the same value of a dollar. Raising the value does NOT create all this extra magic money! It’s a hard concept to grasp by many hence why you always see Iraq with their hand out for loans. If their value was to change to a dollar today Iraq would still be asking for the same loans tomorrow. They sell energy and oil so whatever that amount of money is they make is all they can spend hence a budget it makes zero difference what the value of the dinar is! A higher value ONLY gives an Iraqi inside that country a greater purchasing power. It does not create extra money for Iraq to spend on their debts!! Now this deal with China who knows, Iraq is going to put their hands out to any country that will give give give them money. All these other countries have forgiven most of Iraq’s debts for which we hope their wis a reason they did with maybe some currency swaps in exchange for forgiving debt but who knows. Guru’s will spin anything they can to either further their selfish cause and or to get paid somehow! A lot of this investment makes sense and should come to fruition eventually as they say but again there is a lot that doesn’t make sense. We have placed our bets and hope this stupid investment pays off in the end that’s about the best anyone can hope for. I have been involved in this crazy currency since 2005 and I have seen every excuse and every guru along the years as to why it has to happen and why it hasn’t happened yet!!! So to me if China gives Iraq all the money they need for reconstruction which personally I don’t think China has the money to do right now they have so many issues themselves with the U.S. until a trade deal gets worked out with use but again that’s my opinion. But the point is with all the money China is supposedly going to give them does that give Iraq any incentive to raise the value? If they can keep kicking the can down the road which Iraq is the best at doing that they very well may just keep the status quo. Again who knows it’s anyones guess and opinion!!

Abdul Mahdi said in his speech at the "World Industrialization Conference 2019,'' in the city of Hefei, China, "for the kind invitation extended to us and the kind hospitality we received from the leaders of the party, government and popular in the city of Hefei. "Inside China and abroad, we wish you more brilliance, achievement and progress." It is a great pleasure for me and the great Iraqi delegation coming from Mesopotamia to participate in this meeting which brings us together the sons of the Mesopotamian civilization with the sons of the ancient Chinese civilization, where together we have provided mankind with many achievements in various sciences and knowledge, and we communicate with you today to sustain cooperation and partnership to serve our Iraqi, Chinese and peoples. the whole world". It is appropriate to shed some light on the importance of relations between the Republic of Iraq and the People's Republic of China, from its civilizational and humanitarian aspects that extend throughout the same history, as well as reflecting the current stage of certain aspirations to a fruitful strategic partnership, and to seek to embody the bonds of history and cohesion with cooperation based on constructive trust and desire Certainly in achieving what befits the convergence of the glory of the civilization of Mesopotamia, which provided humanity to write with the Chinese civilization with all its knowledge and knowledge. The astonishing resilience of our people and their amazing will quickly took him out of the dark tunnel, and he never restored his legend as a giant spirit that always rises from the nations' republics, and the phoenix, which rises from the ashes every time. It is not far from this picture that striking symmetry with the friendly China, for its part, through at least the first half of the twentieth century, of serious events and dangerous conditions, wars and devastating effects, but was able by the will and determination of its people, and the wisdom of its political, public and partisan leadership, to overcome this The calamities, and to rise to China to put it in a very advanced status as a great nation, and a powerful economic power, and embodies this remarkable step exemplary. What I have said now is to make it clear that Iraq needs more than ever to the momentum of its influential Asian and Chinese relations in particular in a direction that restores Iraq to its vital role, effective and influential, and to its people and dignified life, taking into account that the harsh conditions and the collapse of most of the infrastructure And the delay in the fields of development, calling for the convergence of our two countries in the campaign of advancement, which we strongly adopt. The People's Republic of China, for its part, with its weight in major economic, industrial and other fields, and the Republic of Iraq, on the other hand, with all its promising and ambitious vitality and its natural and human resources, among them the desire of the two countries for cooperation and integration, and the rooting of partnership and progress, and its unique model. Although our two countries have always achieved fruitful meetings on more than one occasion, we hope and hope that the leaderships of the two countries will fulfill on this occasion their most hopes related to real achievements in the land that benefit our two countries and peoples, and that the great march, this time, will be achieved together through the Belt and Road Initiative and the close link between the two countries. Near East and Middle East. I would like to announce here that I will meet with President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping, Premier Li Ki-xiang and Chinese leaders to work hard to establish a strong platform for the common interests of both countries, benefiting from the sobriety and durability of China's industrial and technology sectors. In recent decades, we have established a firm presence in all fields of development and development, and it is our sincere desire to open the doors of investment and partnership in many fields. Iraqis have begun a new era of stability, and the country is moving towards the reconstruction and the optimal investment of energies and human resources and natural, working on the land of Iraq thousands of companies, and compete for broad investment opportunities in all provinces, and we take this opportunity to extend the invitation to major Chinese and international companies to work and invest in Iraq In the sectors of energy, telecommunications, roads, dams, water, agriculture, industry, infrastructure and other fields supported by an encouraging legislative environment and safe conditions and aspires to provide jobs for thousands of citizens.

  35. 9-19-2019 Intel Guru Frank26 ...now it [The Iraqi dinar] is being primed and it looks like the CBI is telling us they're ready to introduce new smaller category notes and fils which can only be done if they lift the three zeros from their exchange rate. They've done a pretty good job of lifting the three zeros from the street. Those are the two areas they are being lifted...they just said a few days ago, 'we have so much to back up our currency that it's way beyond International standards.'...that's really good. 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...There is no reinstatement of the dinar until the CBI writes the letter and the IMF accepts the letter for Article VIII. It's no secret when that happens we will all know. Even if it happens that has nothing to do with the exchange rate. 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Breitling ...Iraq and these countries do not put out their money supply. They do not tell people exactly what their money supply is. But they did a couple of years ago by mistake. They said they were at 4 billion notes...according to this guru there's...80 Trillion dinar out there which is equal to 80 billion dollars or something like that...that's not true...they're reading a report that tells everybody what their country is worth. It's NOT their money supply. Here's the difference. What's your house worth? What's your car worth? What's your property worth? That's one report. Another report would be how much do you have in your pocket? How much Cash do you have? That's what I'm talking about. For some reason people aren't getting this...when I got into this investment they had about 12 billion notes... 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni [via Zig] ...there have been many discussions about a float over the years from the CBI, and economic experts in Iraq. Many of them positive...A year or so ago when somebody asked the CBI about floating the currency their response was that they weren't going to float AT THIS TIME and it was taken out of context as if they were saying no float ever...the truth is they were not ready to float at that time and proper translation of the article was necessary because all countries float eventually especially Emerging Markets. And there have been many examples of countries moving from fixed to float over the last few years. Even several in the Middle East"... 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Jeff ...they've purposely delayed the formation of the government because it's literally the linchpin. It's the last thing we're going to see right before the rate change...the reason why the rate change will not occur this week is...Iraq has to achieve stability before the powers-that-be will allow Iraq to change the rate. This week they're having massive meetings between Kurdistan and Baghdad. They have to reach agreements on every level to achieve stability...I personally feel Mahdi has to be in country when the rate changes...this is a once-in-a-lifetime historic event. When it happens logic tells me Mahdi would want to be inside the country when the rate does change...he wants to be part of this historic event...Mahdi is gonna be in china on Thursday to Sunday...I still have the remainder of September on my radar. I still have my eyes on next week...

He added that "the political blocs agreed to pass eight controversial laws through the current legislative chapter," noting that "the most prominent laws are oil and gas, These people didn't agree. They were ordered to get off their donkeys and pass it. No more delays. And that's exactly what they are going to do.

  37. China Just Got Handed The Oil Deal Of A Lifetime by Tyler Durden Thu, 09/19/2019 - 20:25 1 SHARES Authored by Simon Watkins via OilPrice.com, China and Russia are sewing up whatever oil and gas fields and accompanying infrastructure that they can in Iran and Iraq, as Iraq tries to markedly up the pace of development on the fields it shares with Iran. Iraq only wants the U.S. for the Common Seawater Supply Project (CSSP) because ExxonMobil is the only firm that can do it properly and within a reasonable timeframe. ExxonMobil’s participation, though, is far from guaranteed. Of all the key shared fields - Azadegan (Iran side)/Majnoon (Iraq side), Azar/Badra, Yadavaran/Sinbad, and Dehloran/Abu Ghurab, Naft Shahr/Khorramshahr – the first of these has been a priority for Iran since it was severely flooded in March. It is this field that was the focus of the announcement last week that two major new drilling contracts have been signed: one with China’s Hilong Oil Service & Engineering Company to drill 80 wells at a cost of US$54 million and the other with the Iraq Drilling Company to drill 43 wells at a cost of US$255 million. According to senior oil and gas industry sources spoken to by OilPrice.com last week, it is China that will do all of the work and finance all of the drilling, with the headline ‘Iraq Drilling Company’ being on the contract simply to assuage the followers of Moqtada al-Sadr, the de facto leader of Iraq, and his Sairoon (‘Marching Towards Reform’) power bloc whose public message at the last election was that Iraq should not be beholden to any other country. OilPrice.com understands that al-Sadr privately has approved the project, otherwise, of course, it would not be going ahead. Located around 60 kilometres to the north-east of the main southern export terminal of Basra, the supergiant Majnoon oilfield is one of the world’s largest, holding an estimated 38 billion barrels of oil in place. Rather literally, the field’s name means ‘insane’ in Arabic, derived from its possessing an ‘insanely’ large amount of oil. Discovered in 1975 by Brazil’s Braspetro (now part of Petrobras), it has been subject to a microcosm of the troubles that have affected the Iraq oil industry as a whole, with two U.S.-led wars, the war against Iran, and ongoing domes­tic security issues leading to the cancellation of various deals with international oil companies (IOCs) over the past 40 years. A major ongoing problem for development remains the substantial quantity of unexploded ordinance in and around the site that dates back to the 1980-1988 Iran Iraq War. Having been awarded the licence for the field on 11 December, 2009, it took Shell Iraq Petroleum Development (SIPD) and its partner Petronas nearly 18 months to clear 28 square km of land of explosives, prior to constructing and opening the first well, and then restarting production on 20 September 2013. The Shell subsidiary had to develop a new approach for removing mines, involving the use of heavily-armoured bulldozers and loaders. During the site’s construction phase, over 12,000 items were cleared and destroyed using this technique. Additionally, in order to circumvent the dangerous conditions, the super-major had to transport an initial 48,000 tonnes of steel via the Shatt al-Arab waterway, which had previously been closed to commercial transport for 31 years. Given these logistical constraints and the longer-than-expected delay in generating any revenue from the project – already fixed under the terms of the technical service contract (TSC) terms at a relatively tight per barrel fee of US$1.39 per barrel for the developers – there was much talk that the consortium at the time (SIPD 45%, Pet­ronas 35% and Iraq’s Missan Oil 20%) was in the process of renegotiating key parameters of the concession. As it transpired, given the Iraqi view that the enormous reserves in situ and the low costs of recovery would more than offset any other con­siderations, negotiations were unsuccessful. The consortium moved quickly to boost output from the 46,000 barrels per day (bpd) level being produced when it took over in 2009. Within a very short timeframe from production re-commencing, the consor­tium managed to boost output to the 175,000 bpd first commercial production target (the threshold for cost-recovery payments for Shell), and by the end of the first quarter of 2014, the field had an average output of 210,000 bpd. As it stands, the field is now producing only marginally more, at 240,000 bpd. Longer term, the original production tar­get figures for the Shell-led consortium still stand: the first production target of 175,000 bpd (already reached), and the plateau production for the site of 1.8 million bpd. The Iraq Ministry of Oil’s own latest target is for 450,000 bpd by the end of 2021. All things remaining equal, the International Energy Agency (IEA) maintains its projection for 700,000-1 million bpd at some point in the 2030s. As it has transpired, the floods in March handed China ‘a deal of a lifetime’, according to Iraq oil industry sources. It is widely posited that much of the structural damage to the Majnoon area was caused by the erosion of subsoil across over one million hectares of forest and brush land in both sides of the region – Azadegan and Majnoon - by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a result of extensive building programmes. Because of the geology of the region, Majnoon fared worse than its neighbouring Azadegan. Crucially, though, China is currently the lead operator of the North Azadegan field, and is in prime position in South Azadegan as well, so it is in a position to address the potential flooding problem across the entire region, covering both Iran and Iraq sides, and including widespread berm building and maintenance, and directing of water flows. Partly because of this, China has been negotiating a deal with Iraq for one of its oil and gas entities (China National Offshore Oil Corporation is the one on the table currently) that involves a 25-year contract. However, the contract would officially start two years after the signing date, so allowing CNOOC to recoup more profits on average per year and less upfront investment, according to a senior Iraq source. The per barrel payments to China will be the higher of either the mean average of the 18 month spot price for crude oil produced, or the past six months’ mean average price. It also involves at least a 10% discount to China for at least five years on the value of the oil it recovers. China, for its part will make good on the structural damage to the site and will increase output to at least 500,000 bpd by the end of May 2021. “With the terms of the deal on the table, China would make between eight and nine billion dollars profit every year from Majnoon alone,” concluded the Iraq source. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-just-got-handed-oil-deal-lifetime

  38. 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...They will never introduce any smaller categories until the currency has begun to appreciate to a point where they would be needed and it would be seamless without fanfare. 9-19-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana ...China has the ability to dump loads of money into Iraq's infrastructure, taking significant weight off of the Iraqis in that regard, which would free up Iraq's resources (time/people/government/etc) to focus on their actual bread and butter. China won't be doing this for free... in fact, I can foresee Iraq becoming so indebted to China over this that they are forced to raise the value of their currency just to cover the debt that they will willingly incur from China in order to fast-track their future. Iraq then officially enters the currency manipulation game, just to keep up with China, and that just tickles me pink! Who wins if this happens? Everyone. China wins. Iraq wins. We win. This is a clear path to Iraq becoming even stronger, with a stronger currency, and the rest is sort of irrelevant. Pretty neat stuff.

  40. I agree with both of you here. It's just that in issues of theological faith I find it difficult to relate to anyone who is not on fire. The Christian faith has many Christians who believe in abortion and euthanasia two things that are an abomination to God. While I understand that God can work with anyone and bring them to where he wants them to be, I myself find it difficult to take a Christian who believes in abortion and euthanasia seriously. Likewise a Muslim that is not following the teachings of the Koran is not someone speaking for the religion of Islam and thus someone I find difficult to take seriously. We all are in a spiritual war. Whether you admit that or not is irrelevant. Any religion that preaches the wholesale Slaughter of anyone who disagrees with them it's not on God's side, and therefore they are on Satan's side. I understand your point. It's just that I proceed from a military position and therefore I must study my enemy. But you are right, people should study the Bible above all other books.
