Libya Was about OIL confirmed

Everyone who was hoping that the US and coalition finally got some ethics and went to save the rebels, well your hopes are dashed ... again.
As most of us know this was about oil and is about oil.

The defeat of Colonel Qaddafi’s ground forces by NATO aviation has opened possibilities for the opposition for restoration of oil exports from Libya. As a result, according to a representative on the economy and oil of "transitional government" of the opposition Ali Tarkhuni, the opposition has already reached an agreement on oil exports under the supervision of Qatar.

"We have agreed with Qatar, and our next shipment will be carried out in less than a week," Tarkhuni said.

abc.az...

He said the rebel government had agreed an oil contract with Qatar, which would market the crude, and that he expected exports to begin in "less than a week".

Tarhoni said he had signed the contract with Qatar recently and that the deal would help ensure "access to liquidity in terms of foreign denominated currency".

The U.S. is the major equipment supplier for Qatar's oil and gas industry, and U.S. companies are playing a major role in North Field gas development.

Why am I not surprised? This is becoming waaay too predictable.

S&F, we are in 100% agreement. Yet none of this is on mainstream news, it's all about what a wonderful thing coalition troops are doing, and about doing the right thing, and helping the poor rebels who just want their freedom from tyranny, and happy BS speeches from Obama. And thats in between talk about Charlie Sheen.



Government mouth pieces these days....

Hmm: It's hard to say if this is true without the MSM "confirming" such stories. Of course, it's all about oil! Most wars seem to not benefit the citizens or their freedom. If they wanted freedom they had many years to try --- harder. I wonder if America and other allies are really that deprived of much needed oil. Libya can't be the only place for that energy resource.

So??? They export oil as they have always done. None of this is surprising. If the US truly cared that much about cheap access to oil, we would have let Ghaddafi go into Benghazi and end the war last week. This whole regime change thing won't help oil prices.

maybe I missed something but Qatar
is at least 4-5 countries away from
Libya. And one of those is Israel.
How in the heck is Libya
gonna get the oil there ???

Suez Canal in Egypt.

Are the pieces falling together yet ???

As with most wars, expect higher gasoline prices and commodity inflation. Just keep starving the people from food for oil. Wow! What a surprise.

Of course it will. It will (I think) raise the price of oil UP, putting more of your, my our money into the pockets of the greedy companies, which for them is a success.

And oh yeah they don't care for cheap access to oil, they want expensive access to oil, so the elite can thicken their pockets while thinning everyone elses.

I never heard of that Canal, but if they are going to export in a week, well they must have something ready, which may as well mean that this was planned (well in advance).

It would if there was a rift between
Gadaffi and the NWO Puppets
and Gadaffi was holding the oil
hostage as a bargaining chip.

Gadaffi funded French President Sarkozy's
Political Campaign and was gonna spill
the beans (hold oil as hostage) til he
got his money back.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

please note that French fighter jets were the
first enemy planes over Libya.

Makes perfect sense to me why Gadaffi
was targeted for assassination with that
missile strike on his compound.

Would also explain why the Allies are helping
Al Queda in Libya.

I said something in another post, wati n see if exxonmobile , shell try n get thier hands on the oil after the coalition takes over. wait n see. they shoould sold the oil to russia or china, like IRaq did..bascially giving exxonmobil n government he middle finger..
now..one must wonder why does our government need oil so bad? i mean that usually happens with an invasion/takeover..could it be so much oil has leaked through recorded history of oil leaks, thats thiers not enough to go around now? are americans too dependant on oil? in other words..thiers no real market here anymore to spdate things economically..aka solar power or something. that would mean, government has no intention of really going green at all. burning of fossil fuels. well fossil fuels donst seem realisitc these days, as it turns out oil might be abiotic* able to re produce itslef over time, like blood does. so te word fossil maybe shuold be removed...eh keep it..to help describe how outdated it is

It should help out at the pump since Libya was not a big importer to us for oil. See link.

If we start importing more oil from them it will mean more supply which should lower prices. Libya has the largest oil supply in Africa as well.

holy crappola,
the mother load has landed

DEFENSE
Qatar's defense expenditures are estimated to be in the range of 10% of GDP. Qatar maintains a modest military force of about 12,000 men, including an army, navy, and air force. The country has a public security force of about 8,000 men, including a coast guard, national firefighting force, air wing, marine police, and an internal security force. Qatar also has signed defense pacts with the U.S., U.K., and France.

www.state.gov...

now if that ain't bread crumbs leading
to the crime scene, I don't know what is.

The OP states that the Rebels are gonna ship
the oil out to Qatar. And guess who Qatar has
signed contracts with for self defense?
The very same 3 countries attacking Libya !!!!

nail in the coffin folks

US, UK and France are protecting Qatar's Oil Supply.

but wait, those US pilots flying those missions were told
that Gadaffi was killing civilians.

and now we know why Germany, China and Russia
abstained in their vote at the UN. None of those
countries have defense contracts with Qatar.

That would prove that United Nations is really
a corrupt entity who operates under contracts
for profits from private corporations.

Skynet revisited

US, UK and France are protecting Qatar's Oil Supply.

No, Qatar is a large oil exporting country given their small size. They export about a million barrels per day while consuming something like 150,000 barrels/day. Their oil supply is themselves and not Libya.

Well once the Rebels start exporting to Qatar, the oil supply will be Libya as well, wont it?

No disrespect,
But it didnt take an EINSTEIN to work that out.

Read the articles again. Qatar won't be using the oil. They are marketing it or handling the logistics. They likely are just selling it to Qatar quickly as they need cash ASAP to fund their military efforts and Qatar plans on mixing it with their own oil for export to a host of places. Again, I doubt this contract is a long term deal. A long term deal with the rebel faction that might not exist in a week doesn't make sense IMO.

try googling

Qatar expands oil ventures

and then come back when you're done

and it's not only oil, Qatar has also invested
Millions of dollars in super tankers to carry the
oil from Libya to Qatar.

QATAR

Hyundai to Build 4 LNG Vessels for Qatar Joint Venture Company

Qatar Gas Transport Company and Qatar Shipping will use a joint venture company to own and operate four LNG vessels. The ships are being built by Hyundai and will cost $88.5m each. They will be delivered between 2008 and 2014.

Qatar Transport

that is a lot of Qatar state owned investments not to have any
oil to put in them tankers

Can you say partial hostile takeover
of the oil industry ???

Liquefied Natural Gas isn't oil. Qatar produces a lot more LNG than Libya does and so that can account for them contracting ships to move it around.

OK, maybe you're right.
this is all about Gadaffi
killing innocent Al Queda.

and here's something else to blow your mind

Those Nuclear Reactors that blew in Japan
were built by GE. And a connection to
the Oil and Gas in Qatar as well.

Further expanding its capabilities in the region, GE Oil & Gas has established a Qatar Service Center at the Ras Laffan Support Services Zone. The center was officially opened today with a ribbon cutting by H.E. Abdullah Bin Hamad Al Attiyah, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Industry for Qatar.

Qatar is one of the fastest growing centers for the oil and gas industry worldwide. GE Oil & Gas has been providing gas turbines, compressors and other equipment to support projects in Qatar for more than 35 years.

The new Service Center represents a significant step for GE's infrastructure localization strategy in the region, and will be a Center Of Excellence for GE Oil & Gas in the Middle East. It will support both emerging markets and the fast growing refinery industry in the region, with application expertise ranging from petrochemical services to LNG. The center will also provide customers with the first GE re-manufacturing capabilities for compressors in the Middle East.

now what are the odds ??

and as if this couldn't get any worse.
Another Japan connection besides GE

Japan's Cosmo Oil has come to an agreement with Qatar to develop a new offshore oil field in the south-eastern part of the Middle Eastern country. The field is expected to produce 3,000 barrels per day (b/d) of crude oil from 2010. A joint venture (JV) between Cosmo (85.8%) and Japan's trading house Sojitz Corporation (14.2%) will invest JPY10bn (US$94mn) in the development of the field, according to Cosmo. Cosmo currently produces around 5,000b/d of crude oil from Block 1, which is located in A-structure just north of the new oil field, alongside partner Sojitz. This figure is expected to double to 10,000b/d by March 2008 and to 13,000b/d once the new field comes onstream in 2013.

The news indicates that Cosmo is actively seeking to expand its operations in Qatar. In October 2007, the company signed a production sharing contract (PSC) for the offshore Block 3 oilfield, granting Cosmo a 35% stake.
