Re: "Russia rises on global oil demand"

i find , surprisingly, that i support many of the demands that the russian
government makes on foreign investors/developers when it comes to the energy
industry, including the condition that shell include gazprom as a partner in
their sakhalin project. also, the state has been demanding better
environmental
although russia is an energy superpower, that status is more the result of
gas (and perhaps hydro-electric potential) than oil. as far as oil is
concerned, they are a mid-high level player; not superpower.


"The Molikpaq oil platform, producing up to 70,000 barrels a day..."

70, 000 barrels/day is nothing.

Russia rises on global oil demand
By Patrice Hill

strategic parts of the energy industry have slowed growth in production
and raised questions about the legal rights of investors and speed of
future
