[quote:Bluebird:MV8yMDM0MzgyXzM0Mzg2NTg0XzY4Qjg3Qzgz] [quote:Just Some Guy:MV8yMDM0MzgyXzM0Mzg2MjI5X0U5QTlGRTMx] Funny how the Russians have a dictator who looks out for Russian interests. (and his own I know) Yet, in America we have one that puts everyone else's best interests in front of the country's. [/quote] It is very odd. I can't remember ever having a POTUS who did everything possible to destroy the country the way Obama does. And yet he was re-elected. But by those who stand to gain from his freebies only as they collectively destroy the country. Putin looks better all the time. Russia is going forward while America is faltering. [/quote]
Original Message
Exxon Mobil is no longer the world’s number-one oil producer. As of last week, that title belongs to Putin Oil Corp – oh, whoops. I mean the title belongs to Rosneft, Russia’s state-controlled oil company.
Rosneft is buying TNK-BP, which is a vertically integrated oil company co-owned by British oil firm BP and a group of Russian billionaires known as AAR. One of the top-ten privately owned oil producers in the world, in 2010 TNK-BP churned out 1.74 million barrels of oil equivalent per day from its assets in Russia and Ukraine and processed almost half that amount through its refineries.
With TNK-BP in its hands, Rosneft will be in charge of more than 4 million barrels of oil production a day. And who is in charge of Rosneft? None other than Vladimir Putin, Russia’s resource-full president.
