Arabian fracking: Saudis drill for shale
March 19, 2013, 5:12 PM MARKETWATCH
By Claudia Assis
After much resistance and a mix of disdain and resentfulness, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries suddenly decided to embrace fracking, The Wall Street Journal’s MarketBeat said.
That means, of course, that it’s really Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s largest member and frequent dissenter among the organization’s ranks, that has done the embracing. Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi told reporters in Hong Kong the kingdom intends to remain an energy powerhouse, partly by adopting new technology.
Naimi estimated Saudi Arabia has roughly 600 trillion cubic feet of unconventional shale gas. “The potential is very huge and we plan to exploit it,” he told The Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration says Saudi Arabia’s proven natural-gas reserves are 288 trillion cubic feet as of the end of 2012. That’s the fifth largest behind Russia, Iran, Qatar and the U.S., the EIA said.
Saudi state-controlled oil and gas company Aramco puts known natural-gas reserves at the fourth largest in the world. Aramco said finding additional gas reserves is a top priority.

DeleteWhat made me laugh the first time was it followed:
Delete"And wouldn't it be ironic if along with all your other ailments your hand was the next to go?"
"hand" "grasp"
.
DeleteThat was the original intent.
However, I should have taken my time and just ended up with the last version.
The iterations and the process ruin the spontaneity and the mood.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions may loom large, but lurking in the shadow of President Obama’s highly anticipated visit to Israel this week is a protracted and secretive war already being waged between Jerusalem and Tehran.
ReplyDeleteAnalysts and former officials say the “shadow war,” featuring suicide bombings and clandestine attacks from Eastern Europe to Asia and the Middle East, is a potential source of friction between individuals at the CIA and Israel’s lead intelligence agency, the Mossad.

Marxism contests with Islam as being the stupidest thought system in the history of mankind. Marx didn't even have his economics right, much less any good thinking about the transcendental. Islam is just nuts, getting both wrong, too.
DeleteDo you realize all the dead from these two thought systems?
Do you know, really know, what the Russians did to themselves, and the Chinese? The Russians ran out of bullets killing one another. And what the Islamics have done?
Yes, there is a war going on, and thankfully the Israelis are not Marxists, though Marx was Jewish background.
Living off the largesse of his friend Engels.
It is a strange world.
And I believe we should support our friends the Israelis, because they are not Marxists, nor Islamic, we should support them in their time of need.

Hamdoon turned to the waitress, and asked for another cup of tea. He looked across the street, where a cab had just suffered a fender bender, and there was an argument going. He lit another another of his inevitable cigarettes, and began to think about hunting forest grouse when he was a kid. He had found himself in his memory.

Tom Barton DOES look like he's repeatedly done something disreputable, possibly relatated to something phallic, concerning Middle Eastern "males."
ReplyDeleteDoes that pass the test?
And, as I wrote before:
...do we really need this?

Hey, them is us!
The descendants of the Solutreans perhaps. We are just not sure yet.
Those northerns, driven down to France and Spain. holed up in the caves, down from the north, away from the cold, hunters.
Creators of the first true Cathedrals in the History of the World, and the beginning of art, and song too.
I would love to go there with you sometime, and maybe we can, too!
