Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    “The sharpest increase in oil price was recorded when the Bolsheviks occupied Baku in 1920 because ¼ of world oil were produced in Baku. We sure that the oil price will rise again”, Nasirov said.
    Answering the question “Are you concerned over oil price decline?”, the Vice-President said: “Absolutely no!”.
    “The oil price depends on various factors and this makes difficult to predict the price dynamics. Of course, economic issues play certain role, but there are also political factors which regulate the inter-state relations. Oil price may fall to $20, but this will not be long-term, because investment in oil sector will decrease. Today, a number of oil producing countries can produce the oil with lower initial cost. However, the supply will fall below demand”, Nasirov said.
    He added that the initial cost of oil production in Azerbaijan is below $25: “As you know, we have offshore and onshore extraction of oil. Compared to oil extraction from old onshore fields, the oil extraction from new offshore fields is more cost-effective. So, the oil production in Azerbaijan costs on average $20”.

    So, confession. It costs anywhere between $20-$25 for them to pump oil. This means that they're almost at the point where they're pumping oil for free. Thought this day wouldn't come until 2020 but here it is.
    In the spring of 1953 I made a mistake, so I know that there is a potential that I could be mistaken.
    --- offshore oil/gas extraction is cheaper than onshore extraction.
    Does not matter weather old or new, that's 180 degrees backward.
    Let's see, mmm, digging a hole at the bottom of a lake is easier than digging a hole on dry ground .
    The cost of drilling a hole on dry ground in yesteryears wages is more expensive than today's hyper inflated prices.
    I could go on but the only absurd things I like are jokes.

        When I work remote campsites, I'm the lowest paid on the team. I make $1000 per week after the taxes. But I'm in Alaska. When I worked on supply boats taking supplies to offshore rigs , I and everyone on the boat had to be coast guard certified, an absolute. All rigs have the same requirement. Now the Caspian sea rigs and boat operators are run by turcs, namely tatar turcees. I can only guess that the requirement for these ,(1) jobs , (2) construction , (3) qualification , might not be as stringent. But maybe I'm wrong (lol).
        My guess is somebody's brother inlaw might be a qualification. But maybe I'm wrong. However, somebody somewhere has got to know what they are doing, or something bad could happen, like an explosion or oil spill, or people getting killed.
        Whatever the baboons costs is, $20 per barrel is calamitous. Remember who they are selling to and who they are dealing with ... BP is one of them. If you hand a penny to BP and then it's handed back to you, you'll notice it's thinner. The reason is BP will squeeze that penny so hard.
        The monkey in the above article is talking out is ...

          The baboons are now taxing capital outflows by 20%. I wonder if they're targeting BP specifically. To use your analogy, that penny is going to be squeezed even harder. Even SOCAR repurchased $500mln of their outstanding bonds back, they know they're going to need to be able to borrow later when they're on the verge of tanking.

          All this oil talk raises the question of whether or not these fools are crazy enough to nationalize the ACG and Shah Deniz fields.

            The cost of azeri off shore oil is between 30-35 USD.

                Plus the contract with BP is a masterpiece of a kind.
                All the overcost of technical nature, maintenance...... failures are 100 % for the turks.
                And those overcosts doubled in a decade, compared to the date the contract was signed....

                  Yes, Ali baba had 40 thieves, but BP has 40 + lawyers and they all got knives.

                    Only the Saudis can extract it at round $20 per barrel due to volume vs initial investments. My guesstimate the azeri’s will be around $30 and $45 for the offshore IF they are very efficient. Also, let us not forget the pipeline transit fees for two countries. By the time it is sold in turkey their cost it will be around $40+
