Would take just a few days to agree?20 Nov 2023 13:16
They’ve had 15 fricking years to come to an agreement
How can an agreement be reached over something whose true extent cannot be defined anyway (huge oil exploration structures ) . It’s a fallacy . Agree on what’s known to be discovered between 2007 -2014 and factor in an adjust or reassessment process with defined limits every 5 or 10 yrs if needed . honour the contracts and investments of risk takers who funded the development of their country.
Apart from a few Chinese bamboo pipelines in the 6th century , There’d be no oil in the first place if it wasn’t for the West ( Drake , Darcy, Reynolds etc )
that can only be quantified by decades of further extensive and expensive drilling ( all the other unappraised underdrilled fields and prospects that was endowed by nature to them , which they could not have developed without the foresight , intelligence, ingenuity and risk taking of predominantly western geologists , engineers , scientists , investors etc etc
