What can be a worse irony than this?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>CNOOC Ltd., the Hong Kong-listed unit of China National Offshore Oil Corp. has partnered with the state-run Turkish Petroleum Corp. (TPAO) to win a contract with Iraq to develop the lucrative Missan oil-field in southern Iraq, marking CNOOC\u2019s first upstream access to Iraqi oil following its two major rivals, CNPC and Sinopec.<\/p>\n<p>According to CNOOC, the 20-year contract includes an increase of Missan\u2019s production capacity to 450,000 barrels per day from the current 100,000 barrels a day within six years. CNOOC has agreed to price every additional barrel of oil produced after capacity rises by 10 percent at US$ 2.30.<\/p>\n<p>CNOOC will be the operator and hold 63.75 percent of the interest. TPAO will have 11.25 percent interest while an Iraqi drilling company will hold the remaining 25 percent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Reference Link:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/english.caing.com\/2010-05-18\/100144922.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">CNOOC Seals Deal on Iraq Oil Field<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Close on the heels of the <a href=\"http:\/\/drishtikone.com\/blog\/irans-brilliant-coup-brazil-and-turkey-us-looks\" target=\"_blank\">Iranian Nuke coup<\/a> with Turkey and Brazil, comes the news of the Chin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1517,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-us"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
