War with Iran

Introduction – Judging from the news it seems that the USA is serious about going to war with Iran. The news broadcasts from the mainstream government controlled media are extremely similar to the broadcasts aired when the USA attacked Iran. Watch this video to see the similarities, which are shocking. The US Mainstream media is just the propaganda arm of the US government: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-eyuFBrWHs

When – We think fairly soon, before the end of the year.

Why – We think that Iran is a wild card. They have been threatening to wipe Israel off the map. Not a smart thing to do since Israel is a major nuclear power. If Israel takes out the Iran nuclear facilities strategically by themselves then Iran may retaliate. This would mean more retaliatory strikes from Israel. Iran may hit Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as well thinking that somehow they were involved or at least they are US allies. They might rain missiles into US bases in Iraq. The straits could be closed. Numerous tankers sunk. Oil spills.

Nuclear fallout. So if the USA and of course the UK get together and go after Iran they may take the strategic strikes on their nukes, huff and puff on the news and that’s it. Then order is restored in the Middle East by USA definitions, and they go back to fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now they are also fighting in Pakistan.
The other implication is an invasion of Iran. They have oil so there is additional motivation. Iran has also been pricing its oil on the Euro versus the USD. This is something Iraq did a few months before they got invaded. I do not think Israel could run a ground occupation that far away. They have never done such a thing before. The USA is an old hand at it. This does not mean they are any good at it, just that they are experienced at it. The way for the USA to clean up Iraq is to get into Iran. Iran is undoubtedly supporting the resistance against the US in Iraq. They would be supplying, training, recruitment, communication, arms, medical, support and a place to go for rest and recuperation.

If Iran is occupied then Iraq will fall and fast. The USA will get the oil fields. No other power is going to go into the region and try to mess around with the USA and Israel combined together in that region. If Iran goes nuclear they will provoke Israel. They will have Syria and Lebanon harass Israel with mortar and small rocket attacks. Israel will get mad and go in militarily. Then Iran will say they are our allies and an attack on them is an attack on us and we will fire nukes at you. It makes more sense for Israel to attack Iran before they get nuclear operational. The only other option Iran is giving to Israel is to abandon Israel and leave, which I doubt they would do under any threats or conditions.

The situation is so bad over there that the USA has to act or it can escalate to a major worldwide crisis. What if the Russians decide to support Iran against Israel? Then there could be a massive war with nukes flying all over the place, most unlikely but possible. It appears that sanctions are not going to go anywhere. Iran is racing the clock to complete before they get stopped and they will not stop unless they are stopped. If Iran had a well-developed nuke program then Chavez would have them. That would be real interesting and I am sure the USA would not want to go through this. All the powers involved are playing a lousy game and there are always going to be some unpredictable outcomes.

Added into this is the fact that Obama is minus a birth certificate showing he is eligible to hold office, so he needs a crisis right now real bad. He does not want to face his trial in Federal Court in January that is on the calendar. A war is a great way to be too busy for anything like a trial where you have to produce evidence that you are eligible to hold the office of President. In summation Iran is dangerous now, Obama is cornered on his eligibility to be President so he too is dangerously seeking a big crisis, especially one that makes him look like a hero. If Obama shuts down Iran or occupies them then he will have a victory in Iraq fast and then with his resources freed he may actually get control in Afghanistan. Let’s not forget the oil fields of Iran. Obama can come out of this looking pretty good turning public opinion his way. Israel is being backed into a corner by a religious zealot seeking nuclear capability saying that he will destroy their country. Looks like a perfect storm is brewing and this storm is best watched on TV from a place like Latin America.

How Does This Impact You – Well for one Iran may have been building terror cells around the world to unleash real terrorism? I would think this is highly probably how good they are will remain to be seen I am afraid to say. I am not talking of a phony 9/11 deal, but the real thing. They could use suicide bombers, shooters etc. to take lives and destroy property in countries they consider to be their enemies. They could get into chemical and biological weapons. It would be relatively easy to shut the USA down in a few days of terror attacks. Stock market crashes, bank holidays, etc. USA, Israel and the UK would be on the top of their hit lists. This could give Obama a big excuse to shut down the country. The dollar may spike up as a result of the war. Gold and silver will go up big time. Gas prices may double or even go higher. A lot will depend on whether or not any oil fields or refineries get destroyed. Closing the straits for a few weeks can have a similar but more temporary effect. If the oil prices spike up trouble for the economies of the US and UK. Things will get worse economically. Civil liberties will be gone and probably never return. Martial law has a high probability of coming into play if there are any terrorist attacks that are real. I am thinking Iran will try terrorism if they get attacked and especially if they get invaded. They know they can make the invaders pay a big price and may motivate them to cut their invasion short.

Suggestions – Watch the war from another country. Get a second citizenship and passport so you can travel without a risk of terrorism, which is probably going to be heightened for some years to come. Latin America is far enough away from the USA to not even be bothered by what happens up there. Inquire of us if you like.

Why Horizontal Drilling Results In A Lucrative Texas Oil Investment

Can investing in a more costly form of drilling mean better returns? Yes, if drilling for oil is performed utilizing horizontal drilling. Oil drilling technology has advanced a tremendous amount over the last quarter of a century. And while some people talk of the long-lost “good ole’ days” of oil drilling in Texas, Texas oil investment is still a possibility with horizontal drilling.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Paves Way to Future Extraction Methods

With rising prices for each barrel of oil, oil and gas investing is becoming more and more appealing. Especially with the newer enhanced oil recovery (EOR) systems in place that were not available even a decade ago.

EOR is an improved oil recovery system that uses techniques aimed at extracting more oil from a reservoir that cannot be achieved by direct drilling. One of those techniques is horizontal drilling, which can extract up to 60% or more of an oil reservoir, compare to only 20%-40% using traditional vertical drilling.

Now your Texas oil investment can reap big rewards with a company that practices horizontal drilling. Horizontal drilling uses coil tubing rather than 30-foot sections of steel pipe used on traditional wells. The coil tubing allows the drilling angle to be much more flexible, even drilling at angles of 90 degrees to 95 degrees. And rather than spinning the steel tubing to turn the drill, coil tubing techniques send high-pressure drilling mud through the tube which in turn triggers a pressure-sensitive hydraulic motor that rotates the drill bit.

It's Not Just Where you Drill - The Angle Can be Critical

Controlling the angle at which the drill bores into oil reserves is the key. Direct vertical drilling greatly reduces the exposure to the oil reservoir. Crude oil tends to accumulate within pockets of layered rock, usually sandstone. And because crude oil moves extremely slowly a direct tap from a vertical drill tends to produce low tap.

However, since horizontal drilling allows can access a crude oil reserve from the side, the total exposure to the entire reservoir is greatly increased, resulting in much more and faster oil recovery. In addition, horizontal drilling can access more than one pocket of crude oil. That means instead of drilling multiple vertical wells, only two or three horizontal wells may be needed to tap an entire oil field.

In addition, natural gas can now be collected from crude oil drilling using a process that converts the gas into a liquid state. Where once natural gas was burned off from crude oil production wells, it can now be harnessed and turned into a usable product.

Texas oil investing is at a new milestone. It is now possible to tap into wells that were once unreachable, and extract more crude oil than ever possible. If you are interested in oil and gas investing, now is the time to look into what could be a very profitable venture. Be sure you analyze the risks and benefits of oil and gas investing, and find a reputable oil company to invest in that meets your investing objectives.(ArticlesBase SC #1873355)

Introduction to Geothermal Energy

Our earth's interior - like the sun - provides heat energy from nature. This heat - geothermal energy - yields warmth and power that we can use without polluting the environment.

Geothermal heat originates from Earth's fiery consolidation of dust and gas over 4 billion years ago. At earth's core - 4,000 miles deep - temperatures may reach over 9,000 degrees F.

The heat from the earth's core continuously flows outward. It transfers (conducts) to the surrounding layer of rock, the mantle. When temperatures and pressures become high enough, some mantle rock melts, becoming magma. Then, because it is lighter (less dense) than the surrounding rock, the magma rises (convects), moving slowly up toward the earth's crust, carrying the heat from below.

Sometimes the hot magma reaches all the way to the surface, where we know it as lava. But most often the magma remains below earth's crust, heating nearby rock and water (rainwater that has seeped deep into the earth) - sometimes as hot as 700 degrees F. Some of this hot geothermal water travels back up through faults and cracks and reaches the earth's surface as hot springs or geysers, but most of it stays deep underground, trapped in cracks and porous rock. This natural collection of hot water is called a geothermal reservoir.

In the United States there are enough geothermal power plants to generate electricity and power for three and a half million homes (two thousand seven hundred megawatts).

How We Use Geothermal Energy Today:
 
Today we drill wells into the geothermal reservoirs to bring the hot water to the surface. Geologists, geochemists, drillers and engineers do a lot of exploring and testing to locate underground areas that contain this geothermal water, so we'll know where to drill geothermal production wells. Then, once the hot water and/or steam travels up the wells to the surface, they can be used to generate electricity in geothermal power plants or for energy saving non-electrical purposes.

In geothermal power plants steam, heat or hot water from geothermal reservoirs provides the force that spins the turbine generators and produces electricity. The used geothermal water is then returned down an injection well into the reservoir to be reheated, to maintain pressure, and to sustain the reservoir.

There are two types of power plants: a Flash Steam Power Plant and a Binary Cycle Power Plant.

Flash Steam Power Plant:

Flash steam plants are the most common type of geothermal power generation plants in operation today. They use water at temperatures greater than 360° F (182° C) that is pumped under high pressure to the generation equipment at the surface. Upon reaching the generation equipment the pressure is suddenly reduced, allowing some of the hot water to convert or "flash" into steam. This steam is then used to power the turbine/generator units to produce electricity. The remaining hot water not flashed into steam, and the water condensed from the steam is generally pumped back into the reservoir.

Binary System:


In the Binary system, the water from the geothermal reservoir is used to heat another "working fluid" which is vaporized and used to turn the turbine/generator units. The geothermal water, and the "working fluid" are each confined in separate circulating systems or "closed loops" and never come in contact with each other. The advantage of the Binary Cycle plant is that they can operate with lower temperature waters (225° F - 360° F), by using working fluids that have an even lower boiling point than water. They also produce no air emissions.

Is It A Viable, Long-Term Solution For The Future?

Environmental Issues:

There are little to no emissions

Geothermal power plants, like wind and solar power plants, do not have to burn fuels to manufacture steam to turn the turbines. Generating electricity with geothermal energy helps to conserve nonrenewable fossil fuels, and by decreasing the use of these fuels, we reduce emissions that harm our atmosphere.

It is environmentally friendly

Geothermal installations don't require damming of rivers or harvesting of forests -- and there are no mine shafts, tunnels, open pits, waste heaps or oil spills.

Technological Issues:

The power plants are reliable

Geothermal power plants are designed to run 24 hours a day, all year. A geothermal power plant sits right on top of its fuel source. It is resistant to interruptions of power generation due to weather, natural disasters or political rifts that can interrupt transportation of fuels.

The power plants have flexibility

Geothermal power plants can have modular designs, with additional units installed in increments when needed to fit growing demand for electricity.

Geothermal energy can be extracted from anywhere there are hot spots, U.S. to Third-World

Geothermal projects can offer all of the above benefits to help developing countries grow without pollution. And installations in remote locations can raise the standard of living and quality of life by bringing electricity to people far from "electrified" population centers.

Thousands more megawatts of power than are currently being produced could be developed from already-identified hydrothermal resources. With improvements in technology, much more power will become available.

Usable geothermal resources will not be limited to the "shallow" hydrothermal reservoirs at the crustal plate boundaries. Much of the world is underlain (3-6 miles down), by hot dry rock - no water, but lots of heat. Scientists in the U.S.A., Japan, England, France, Germany and Belgium have experimented with piping water into this deep hot rock to create more hydrothermal resources for use in geothermal power plants.

As drilling technology improves, allowing us to drill much deeper, geothermal energy from hot dry rock could be available anywhere. At such time, we will be able to tap the true potential of the enormous heat resources of the earth's crust.    (ArticlesBase SC #171771)

What are the Alternatives to Petrol?

The price of a barrel of oil is reaching new heights on a daily basis and pricing analysts forecasting that consumers can expect prices to rise even further. The rising price of oil will flow on to the petrol pump. Lately the oil prices surged past $120 a barrel for the first time and there is nothing that business owners and consumers can do to lower the price of oil on the world market. As a result, companies have to look internally at ways they can reduce their dependency on oil products. That’s why the car industry has increased work on developing alternative fuels, as well as cars that are less petroleum dependant.



Hybrid Cars have gained popularity and several hybrid models have made their way on to the market, like the Toyota Prius, Lexus RX 400 and the Honda Civic Hybrid. Hybrid cars have a much better fuel economy than conventional vehicles as a result of their hybrid electric/petrol engines and as a result, they are the cleanest cars on road. The main propulsion comes from the internal combustion engine and the electric motor assist the engine, when the car is accelerating, climbing hills or driving at low speed. The hybrid cars do not need be plugged in for recharging, because they charge themselves while driving. The energy that is normally wasted during breaking and coasting is converted into electricity, which is then stored in a battery until it is needed by the electric motor. The only disadvantage is that Hybrid cars cost more than conventional cars, but this is soon recovered by fuel savings.


Another alternative to gas powered vehicles are flexible-fuel vehicles. These cars are designed to run on a mixture of petrol and ethanol. The drivers can use either fuel without causing damage to the car’s engine. This is because the engine of a flexible-fuel vehicle has been modified so that it can run on petrol or any mixture of ethanol and petrol. Ethanol costs less than petrol, but its fuel economy is lower. Furthermore overall costs are likely to be higher and it’s not easy to find, because not many gas stations offer ethanol. Although, government tax concessions have addressed the question of cost in Australia. Therefore it only makes sense to buy a flex-fuel vehicle if you know that there is a petrol station stocking the fuel in your area.


Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) probably won’t be on the market for the next 5 years or more, but it could represent a major breakthrough. The cars operate in a simiar way to electric cars, but instead of the batteries being charged by an external electric source, the FCV batteries create their own power via a chemical process using Hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the Atmosphere. There is a big environmental benefit in that the only by-product of the chemical reaction is water. Additionally, fuel-powered vehicles can be twice as efficient as similarly sized conventional vehicles.





Another alternative are the Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)


powered vehicles. It is a much cleaner alternative to other vehicle fuels such as petrol and diesel. The fuel efficiency is generally equal in comparison with petrol engines. The technology is mature and there is a good selection of LPG powered cars with many of the car manufacturers worldwide. Unfortunately, only a limited number of petrol stations stock LPG due to the large tanks that need to be installed. The countries with the largest number of LPG vehicles are Argentina, Brazil, Pakistan, Italy, Iran and USA. In Argentina almost 15% of all vehicles are LPG powered and they are the cabbie's vehicle of choice.

Hybrid cars, in the short term, are the best choice for the fuel and environmentally conscious, because they are already established in the market place. They are always more fuel efficient than conventional vehicles and are environmentally friendly. Even better for our environment, are Fuel Cell Vehicles, which are completely emission free. But the automobile industry needs to invest heavily in this fuel technology so that these cars can be put into serial production!!!

Car Hire companies are getting in on the act and many fleets around the world have Hybrid Cars to rent. DriveAway Holidays can supply a Hybrid car through companies like Hertz here in Australia and overseas. As more and more people become environmentally concious as well has being price sensitive, Hybrid cars will become more and more common.   (ArticlesBase SC #644921)

Before You Say The Gulf Coast Cannot Live Without BP

The older I get, the more I realize that in the cases of jobs and money, especially in today's economy, both can be very touchy subjects. Such is the case of mega-employer B.P. Aka British Petroleum.   At times, one knows if one speaks ones mind, feelings might be hurt.

I grew up just north of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and N.E. Of New Orleans. It meant the world to me and still means a great deal (Though I have lived in Arkansas for 11 years, I still have many friends…and family there); and my family of origin has been there four decades.

Before reaching a definite conclusion, I had to consider the following. B.P has consistently been one of the top-ten largest oil firms in the world, along with Shell, Exxon, Conoco/Phillips et al. But bigger is not always better. Whereas ALL of BP's competitors have had ten or less safety violations per year for several decades, BP has consistently violated those rules and had 250+ violations annually, putting lives, ways of life, wildlife, and economies at risk in pursuit of big money.

This time, in a flash, they snuffed out the lives of eleven men, (and two more died later in the clean-up), ruined countless 2-3 generation family businesses, the entire ecosystem, and with oil and dispersant everywhere, it is not if, it is WHEN a hurricane comes, will we will all see the scope of the damage done. Those tar-balls won't be sitting on the beach any longer. The oil will not be floating around only in the ocean. It will be in our schools, businesses, and homes, on our land-raised food, etc. 1.5 million gallons of dispersant has been used.  For whatever reason, BP chose one of the most toxic kinds. There are some that are harmless to the environment. They chose not to use those. The dispersant used stays on the ocean floor forever and is  a chemical toxin, many say much worse than the oil!

Anyone who has lived on or near the coast knows, a hurricane or major tropical storm WILL happen. It will be interesting to hear the feelings of those who are sure BP is our economic saving grace when the oil starts heading into the inland.

You may remember awhile back, under Florida's Republican Governor Jeb Bush, a very tough decision was made. Did Florida want offshore drilling or pristine beaches, fishing, wildlife,and a booming tourism economy, offshore drilling, or both? It wisely decided on the former.

There  remains no Florida offshore drilling, though they are seeing the results of what can happen when  an out-of-control corporation such as BP.

As I write this, there is a tropical storm forming in the Caribbean moving towards the Gulf.Again, we know this can turn easily into a hurricane, and, even if it stays a tropical storm, itwill bring much of what is in and on the ocean onto land, sometimes way beyond the Coast itself.

Did it ever occur to anyone that even if deep-water drilling returns, and BP is banned, thatany of the other top six, with near-pristine safety records, could easily take over and do it right after the clean up (though I would prefer to see no deep water drilling at all until all the snags are worked out).

We saw a BP spokesman on the news yesterday use the tired old analogy, "When an airplane crashes, they don't outlaw flying". Well that's a tired old analogy for a reason. It's not exactly true.  When airlines such as Eastern and several others had such consistently poor safety records and crashes that it finally did not have the money to safely fix, as large as the firm was, it eventually  folded or would have been violating more and more. They, unlike BP, knew the right thing to do before more destruction and deaths happened.

Did the airline industry suffer from that.  It did just the opposite. It learned from Eastern and others errors and, though it has never been that profitable except for a few airlines, improved its safety record dramatically.

My wife Lee brought up another really interesting issue. If deep water drilling (which is only10%  of ocean drilling) SOOO important for Louisiana, why is it that there is so much poverty there?  In Alaska for instance, every citizen is given a stipend for giving the opportunity of oil companies to drill. Surely much of Louisiana does not live in poverty, but given "just how important oil is for it to flourish", the track record is pretty bad. I see MANY more people in Louisiana getting benefits from technology, banking, arts, etc than oil.

I see a few oil fat cats taking in the cash from deep water drilling. Keep in mind only 30 or soof the 300 offshore La wells are deep-water.

The topic of offshore drilling came up again (in Florida), (not just  deep-water but ALL offshore drilling) under another Republican Florida Governor  Charlie Crist. He also, saw no benefits to the state and the state remains a flourishing  tourism and wildlife reserve.

I guess if I still lived and worked near the coast, it would be too easy to buy into BP's nonstop "Good-guy" PR campaign. It is nonstop and it seems to be effective.I know how easy it is to "overlook a problem or issue if it is nearby". It is human nature to "go into denial". But if one "who has been there", but now can see it from a distance, a new perspective, the whole issue becomes more clear.

One can see through the BP ad campaign's  thin-veneer. It is smoke and mirrors and very expensive. All those millions of TV dollars  could and should go to small business owners, wildlife refugees, out of work oil workers, etc., but no.

It is going to put on a happy face. Sorry BP. We have more than a junior high education; mos tof us, and we don't buy it. Any of it. Thank you for trying. Please stop while you are way behind, and let another oil company do the job.

I used to (try) to work in the entertainment industry. I had a few successes but many more failures than successes. Though it was an ego-blow to pack up my bags and leave NYC (and L.A.), I did so. Now I write songs, cartoons, articles, etc., am married, and very happy. When I left the exciting field of "showbiz", I had no idea what would happen next, but as  it turned out, it was better for me and everyone involved. Can't you do the same, BP with our oceans? You've had successes, but LOOK AT THIS FAILURE!!!!!

As far as us, victims of BP, this may be a real wake-up call. The alternative energy is out there.It is not expensive, and it is easy to convert. For years I have talked about "we should…" and"wouldn't  it be nice if…?" In other words I could talk the talk very well. Perhaps it is also time for ME to  look within and walk the walk; by actually using such alternative fuels. I can't change BP.

I  can write articles and songs that hopefully raise awareness. I can change me, and that means taking this issue seriously, very seriously, as I can see the horrendous damage this has done.     (ArticlesBase SC #2728569)

Solid Content in Drilling Mud

Solid content is a fraction total solid in drilling mud, and it always increased while drilling ahead because of drilling solid (cuttings), mud chemical additives and weighting material. When we talk about the solid content, we always mean soluble and insoluble content in the drilling fluid system.

There are three types of solid contents as listed below:

- Soluble material such as salt
- Insoluble high gravity solid (HGS) as weighting agents (barite, calcium carbonate, hematite, etc.)
- Insoluble low gravity solid (LGS) or drilled solid as particles from cuttings

The drill solids are the worst content in the drilling fluid because it gradually deteriorates mud properties. Moreover, if its particle size is less than 5 microns, they could not be removed by mechanical methods, and they will stay in the mud forever. Generally, thye will take 6-7 percent of total mud volume. Since the drilled solid content is very important, it must be checked daily. For good drilling practices, the drilled solid should be tested twice a day by retorting. The upper limit of the drill solid faction should be 6-7 % by volume or approximately 55 – 60 pound per barrels. Please remember that this figure is general rule of thumb. Practically, you can operate the drilling operation with more solid content for a while but over all performance will be gradually down.

There is another value besides the LGS and HGS that you must contemplate is the average density of solids in the drilling mud. I will explain why this figure is important and what it tells us. The weighting materials as barite, Calcium Carbonate, etc have a specific gravity value about 4.2. However, the drilled solids as clay and silt have a less specific gravity about 2.6. The average density means the relative concentrations of both the weighting agent and the drilled solid. Normally, the acceptable value of the average solid density is about 3.8 or higher. If you see this value below 3.8, it indicates that there may be too much low gravity solid in the mud.

The operational impacts of solid content are as follows:

Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) – The ECD will be higher if the solid content increases, regardless of whether High Gravity Solid (HGS) or Low Gravity Solid (LGS). As you may know, excessive ECD will lead to formation fracture and a loss circulation issue.

Differential Sticking – The filter cake can be thick and sticky, if there are a lot of low gravity solids in the drilling mud. When there is thick mud cake, you will have high potential to get differentially stuck across permeable formations.

Rate of penetration – High concentration of the solid content will affect the overall rate of penetration. As you know, there are three solid contents added into the system. The first two contents are weighting material and chemicals which we really need them in the drilling fluid. For this part, we cannot reduce their content in the mud because they are essential to for mud properties. The last one is the drill solid that we are able to control by mechanical methods. Therefore, in order to optimum ROP, you need to control the amount of drilled solid in the mud.

Surge/swab pressure – The excessive surge and swab pressures are resulted from the high amount of solid contents in the fluid system.        (ArticlesBase SC #3934086)

Easiest Ways And Places To Purchase Crude Oil

There are lots of countries in the world that produces crude oil. These countries includes Nigeria, Mexico, Iran, Russia, USA, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Kuwait and the others.Finding Suppliers to purchase crude from should be the next step since you now know the countries that produces the largest quantity of crude in the world.

You could decide to start visiting the oil producing countries above to purchase oil and i must say it is not so easy. The United States of America today produces oil but also imports crude.Amongst all countries, the best and less- stressful place to purchase crude is Nigeria. Nigeria's crude also known as bonny Light is one of the world's best crude as it is not hard to refine and  contains very low sulfur content.Nigeria is such a big country as it drills millions of barrels every day. You can visit http://crudeoilservicing.blogspot.com  to get mandates that can get you crude oil  in Nigeria

Purchasing crude oil in Nigeria has always been good news  to investors and buyers as the regulations are not so tough or hard to meet.Nigeria has fewer restrictions guiding the exportation of petroleum. If you would like to purchase crude from  Nigeria, you would need to contact sellers. More so, to contact these sellers, you also would have to locate mandates that would act as an intermediary broker to connect you with genuine sellers. All sellers get their allocations from the NNPC.
