Wise Words there your Lordship.

We need to keep in mind that all this brinkmanship and broken promises based on deliberate lying and excuses - is nothing to do with paying and feeding the poor - its all about satiating The Greater of those in power.

Understand that - and all this ‘noise’ and abandoned, inconclusive meetings become crystal clear.

Bring on the biscuits.

He’ll do just fine - if he keeps his eyes-on-the-ball and has a stable familly life.

Oil&gas not so difficult as markets are deterministic and tech is well proven: find it, dig it, transport it, refine it and market it.

No need for degrees in Fahrenheight and Centigrade - just clear out the BoD and keep us shareholders happy - job done ;)

Well let’s hope Albert’s abilities and successes are indeed Manifold.

…..pass him a heap of these treasury shares for accepting the challenge someone - quick, before he escapes.

Yes….. I’m drowning in local truths and in-country experiences…..but aren’t our dividends splendid compensations ;)

New blood always good - and it starts from the top.

He looks rough, tough and hard to bluff……. Let’s hope so !

Didn’t he study at Dublin (so maybe knows our recently departed Bernard ) ?

Hope he Reems out our limp BoD - and replaces with some hardball energy savvy clones.

Yanks always have a soft spot for the Irish (+) and didn’t Trump’s mother’s side hail from that airt too - so that’s another plus (++).

Erdogan not getting his fair cut out of his pipeline, and I have long predicted that he would play hardball with his rightfull tarrif at the first opportunities.

Here it comes……

Exx-M wouldn’t touch GKP with a proverbial bargepole !

Too much uncontested historical abuse by the Erbil billionaires has set a precedent.

Suspect Erbil’s ruling junta would not allow a sale as GKP is a whipping boy for them - whenever cash is short or bills can be ignored - «go for GKP - they swallow anything».

Exx-M will be a much, much Harder nut to deal with and any messing with their contracts or payments will land the perpetrators up in front of US courts (or The Donald) …….whichever is worse.

A resolution could be (with tongue in cheek):

If Miles called a meeting with those in power - Erbil, Baghdad, Ankara - and just asks them what % they feel they are personally entitled to from the Nation’s oil production and transportation……then maybe, just maybe - this would all be thrashed out and settled (for a while (until jealousy fed greed arises again))?

Don’t think those in power give a camel’s toe about what the Population are missing out on due to this protracted Pipeline closure - it’s only about perceived historical birthrights, tribal hierarchy, religion, race and of course face-savings - (did I ommit GREED !)?

Easy Peasy then - innit?

C’mon Miles….call a Frank and Honest inter-factions meeting - and let’s get it all thrashed out once and for all.

What a flux of clusters we are stuck in.

Hopes that SOMO would reimburse us directly for our daily product - seems lost already then ?

Plenty of scope for ‘misunderstandings and pockettings’ between $35 - $16 - $10.60 ??? If Erbil is involved.

So the opportunities for defaulting/delaying/pleading poverty/creative accounting/arguements in counting the bbbls….. or making up for any deficits between ICG and claims of the KRG ….. will come out of our invoices to the KRG as before.

Rien changé.

Oh dear - don’t we operate in a region of lies, subtrifuge, greed, despotism and cheating.

Let’s wait for the official RNS, or wise words from Miles himself.

Lies and rumours - was there a drone attack on GKP ? Or not ? Was a drone shot down ? Or not ? Who would attack a Kurdistan field from within Iraq anyway ? Who would stand to gain from that …..

It was only delivering biscuits probably anyway.

What about the unpaid invoices due to us IOCs ?

….and compound interest due on same ??

We at BBC are meanwhile very busy making up tins of ‘deLuxe Celebration Biscuit Assortments ‘ - new variety being included are drone-shaped (they should go down a bomb at the official meetings.

I feel for the wealthy KRG hierarchy - they must be in panic incase (whoever) attacks their private oil fields……so maybe cowering under the muscle of Baghdad seems a great alternative right now (unless of course ICG is behind the worrying drone sorties.

Maybe signing up - without further squabbling about salaries and ‘local’ oil will be swiftly accepted.

Strange region we are invested in - but it is quite exciting.

Biscuits Biscuits Biscuits….

Happy that the predicted face saving meetings are continued out Sept.

Musing: What if Turkey will only sign for Kurdistan source oil through their pipeline after Sept.?

Kurdistan will be a land-locked Independent Kurdish State - under the control of one familly.

Worse things have happened, as the Massive new US Embassy in downtown Erbil shows committment, and the leading familly are openly pro-American having invested heavilly in extensive luxury properties in Washington area. All have dual passports - just incase.

The future looks promising - and The BBC will strive to be appointed as sole Biscuit suppliers to ‘el Presidenti’ at his Palaces in Erbil :))

Mon Dieu - arguements and accusations boiling up at the meeting - quel surprise !

Let’s hope they start throwing biscuits at each other…… I would recommend our voluptously filled Fig Rolls ;)

Hard to believe that these Millionaires/Billionaires are running a country for the benefit of the population.

Let peace regn gentlemen….. you have both contributed vastly over the years……. I’m more interested now in losing the valuable Biscuits contract in the event that some sort of deal is reached tonight.

……Living in the hope that it will - in any case - be temporary ;)

Hmmmm - maybe BP should be wary of green anything just yet (as we are still suffering from the last venture into going green) ?

Car & truck manufacturers have not declared any signifikant H2 plans (as they are still recoiling from the headlong dive into battery vehicles - which appears to have hit a brick wall).

Just pondering the past events - if GKP et al have legally reconised production sharing contracts with the KRG….. there must be clauses therein covering payment conditions and penalties for late or defaulted payments ?

If so - why didn’t our BoD execute these clauses in the light of the delayed and missing payments ??

Who were/are they afraid of ?

Help yourselves to another plate of choice biscuits guys - we all know this is going nowhere soon…..

BBC comment:

We suspect that our policy of supplying these meetings with the finest of World Class Biscuits - is in fact a major contributor for the delegates voting to prolong and protract their eternal schedule of sterile, inconclusive meetings.

Regards - (and guilty as charged)

The Baghdad Biscuits Company.

not quite the full story harm…. they are deliberately accumulating, and will be reactivated at a later date as fully and issued shares on our register - in the form of bonuses.

there is a deflecting opinion that they form a battery of defense against hostile bids - which is poppy**** - i think we would all in fact applaud any bids - to dig us out of this ‘shares in limbo’ doldrums - which would surely provoke other more competitive bids.
