Please provide some data that indicates the "lock" the US has on Libyan and Iraqi oil. US imports 15 times more oil monthly from Canada than from combined Iraqi/Libyan sources. US accounts for 7 %. of Iraqi exports . US petroleum companies have small positions in Iraqi petroleum operations, amounting to 2% of ownership, less than China's positions. https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/news-research/latest-news/crude-oil/112024-china-steps-up-presence-in-iraqs-oil-gas-sector-as-us-players-stay-on-sidelines US has, and has historically had, greater ownership in Libya with Hess, Occidental, Marathon and Conoco having significant production long before the overthrow of Qaddafi. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
