BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq signed a contract on Sunday with Russia's Lukoil and Norway's Statoil to develop one of the world's biggest oilfields, sealing the last of 10 deals that could turn the war-shattered country into a top oil producer. Analysts had expected Iraq and energy firms which won bids at oilfield auctions last year to move quickly to sign final agreements before a March 7 election, a pivotal vote as Iraq emerges from the conflict set off by the 2003 U.S. invasion.

Crude Oil prices continue to display weakness on the back of falling global equities markets, tightening lending norms in China, Japan’s debt rating in jeopardy & strengthening US Dollar. Markets still remain concerned over the demand scenario in the US, the world’s largest energy consumer.

PLC Training

In the last week oil prices dropped despite a decline in inventories as data indicates that refineries operated at 78.4% of capacity last week. In the week prior to that, gasoline inventories climbed to the highest level since March 2008 and fuel consumption in the past four weeks is down 1.8% from a year earlier. The energy market still remains oversupplied and prices may remain under pressure. There is a major concern as China is expected to continue to tighten its monetary policy over the next six months. The move by China to limit credit and raise reserve requirements for banks could lead to downside pressure as China is the world’s second-largest energy consumer.

“India is looking forward to partnering Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) through the Indian oil and gas conglomerate — ONGC Mittal Energy Ltd. — for the establishment of a greenfield petroleum refining plant,” Mr. Deora said. India is Nigeria’s second-largest crude oil buyer. Out of the 116 million tonnes of crude oil consumed annually, about 11 to 18 million tonnes, representing 22-25 per cent of its total yearly imports, are sourced from Nigeria, which is Africa’s largest energy producer.

PORT ARTHUR, Texas -- The Coast Guard said a crude oil spill in a southeast Texas port had been contained to a two-mile area and was not believed to have hurt any local wildlife. It was unclear exactly how much oil spilled into the water when an 800-foot tanker collided with a towing vessel pushing two barges near Port Arthur on Saturday, but the Coast Guard said it could be as much as 450,000 gallons. The Coast Guard said the crash left a 15-by-8-foot hole in the tanker and damaged one of its oil tanks, resulting in the spill.

New Delhi: The price of oil is fast turning out to be the biggest threat to the government’s bid to rein in the fiscal deficit in 2010-11. The recent increase in the price of international crude has come at a time of high food inflation, thereby squeezing the political space the government might have had to insulate its coming budget by increasing the retail price of petrol, kerosene or diesel.

“From a purely unknown perspective, oil is the biggest risk (to the fiscal deficit),” said Samiran Chakraborty, head of India research at Standard Chartered Bank, while identifying the factors that could cause a slippage in the fiscal deficit in 2010-11. As part of its medium-term fiscal policy, the finance ministry has set itself a target of reducing the fiscal deficit by 1.3 percentage points to 5.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 31 March 2011. According to budget estimates, the fiscal deficit would be 6.8% of GDP in 2009-10.

Crude has paused "to take a breath," after a positive close in the U.S overnight for the first time in six days, Hudson Capital trader Clarence Chu said.

“We have had exhaustive discussions with the Ministry of Finance.

Another Rs. 12,000 crore loss is projected on petrol and diesel.

Mumbai, Jan. 16 The good news for the trio of IndianOil, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and Bharat Petroleum Corporation is that they will be reporting profits in the third quarter of this fiscal. The bad news is that the fourth quarter is going to be nothing short of a nightmare for them.

Manufacturer of Oil Tanks India.

Till less than a week ago, the three refiners were convinced that the third quarter would be a disaster, thanks largely to the huge losses on kerosene and cooking gas totalling nearly Rs 10,000 crore. In fact, these are closer to Rs 21,000 crore for the nine-month period between April and December. Thanks to the Finance Ministry's move to contribute Rs 12,000 crore in cash to cover these losses, IOC, HPCL and BPCL will end up making profits in Q3. The rub, though, is that the Ministry's communiqué clearly states that this money is for the entire fiscal which means the companies will have to sort out the losses in Q4 on their own.

It was then agreed that losses on petrol and diesel would be made up by upstream firms such as ONGC.

The rising crude prices have again brought into the limelight the financial health of PSU oil refiners Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL). Crude oil for February delivery was at $81.79 a barrel on January 6 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. As long as the government remains reluctant to raise retail fuel prices, especially of cooking fuel, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), concerns of rising under-recoveries will haunt these companies, putting their stocks under pressure.

Public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) are expected to lose Rs 45,478 crore this financial year on selling fuel at the government-controlled prices. These OMCs incur an under-recovery of Rs 3.10 per litre on petrol, Rs 2.55 on diesel, Rs 17.30 on PDS kerosene and Rs 241 on each 14.2-kg cylinder of domestic LPG. For these companies, more burdens in the form of under-recoveries can be disastrous. In the September quarter, IOC reported a profit of just Rs 284 crore, while BPCL and HPCL reported losses of Rs 159 crore and Rs 137 crore, respectively. Contrast this with the profits these companies earned when oil fell from its historic highs of $147 a barrel in July 2008. IOC, for instance, had posted a net profit of Rs 3,682.83 crore in the June ’08-09 quarter and Rs 6,622.96 crore in the March quarter. BPCL had seen a profit of Rs 614.12 crore in the June quarter and Rs 3,628.02 crore in the March quarter.

"I think the uncertainty that has been pervasive over the last several years on oil and gas leasing has been brought about because there's been a rush to lease," Salazar said in a New Year's Eve interview with the Associated Press . "We are not just about the business of letting the oil and gas industry run the Department of Interior." Salazar, a centrist when he was a Colorado senator, has drawn attacks from oil and natural gas industry groups during his tenure as Interior Secretary under President Obama. The industry alleges he has stymied domestic exploration, pointing to decisions such as deferral and withdrawal of leases in Utah and extending review of Bush-era plans to expand offshore drilling.
