ExxonMobil wants gas exploration in Bangladesh's seas, lands

[Mujahid Memon]

Looks like I hit a sensitive nerve

Marine Seismic survey and associated data processing isn't as capital intensive as the long term investment in drilling and production. Once data from the survey is analyzed Bangladesh will have very good estimates of the oil and gas reserves in the basin. If the reserves are substantial, investors from all over will want a piece of the action. However, things could get tricky if the reservoir spans both Indian and Bangladesh territorial waters/EEZ. I know the Indian Navy is particularly sensitive about Seismic surveys in the Bay of Bengal. It is true past efforts have been unfruitful due to the incompetence of the government in power at the time.

Good luck.

What is the mechanism for the government of Bangladesh to know it’s getting a full seismic survey? If Exxon explores all blocks and releases some of the data, and claims there isn’t any bordering blocks with India. Is there any precedent for an oil company, then going to make a better deal with a neighboring country, and sideways drilling into the reserve from over the line.

Something akin to what Iraq claimed Kuwait was doing before the Gulf war.

Also there's only one country very possibly in the whole entire world that has done very well and of fossil fuel raw resource extraction. It does have its own problems.

I would like you to try name it?

I know , but I want you to know.

Also when there's a massive oil spill due to the corporations profiteering and cutting corners off shore its the government's that's obligated to clean it up. The companies just take the money.

So bdesh will have to use that what ever money it gets from it, to pay off the debt for them taking our wealth. Effectively we would be paying them to rob/theif off us. How stupid is this.


Also they make a mess all over our garden and house we out of our own pocket have pay to clean it up.

In the ecological disaster, were we are paying for them to extract our raw resources also getting into debt for it. Whilst also they add very little value to the product and cut and run basically.

So in the event of an ecological disaster created by their corner cutting greed, we will have to clean it up mostly from our own pockets.

This will become a major trilateral issue, as we have hostile Myanmar, India (at times ) Also Malaysia right at the tip.

Also few tiny island.

Too much headache and thievery. Bdesh is better suited to involved in green hydrogen production

Mixed with the massive horrific awe inspiring cyclones that happen in at sea and the bay of bengal.

I would be surprised if the ecological disaster reached Singapore or Indonesia.

Who said Jakarta is underwater ? Only fool who believe on Youtube or Western news without using their critical thinking to absorb that news.

Jakarta sinking problem is being addressed as you can see on Nusantara thread I make in Indonesian Defense Forum.

Quran is made by God. He is the one who made human has good brain. You also need good brain in order not to missinterpret the verses in Quran.

There is verse in Quran saying Abrahamic religion will conquer the world. It is true with what happen with Western colonization period. It is God making. Dutch tried hard to colonize all Indonesia. It can colonize all of them just in 1920s. It is God decision to make Indonesia. It is by design by Him.

In Quran He said that the Glory and Fall period are turned in order to test who are the real believer among us.

Flat Earth is not Muslim conception, it is western world conception. Muslim empires are the ones who believe earth is round and this is why they can sail into Indonesia using ship. Only after Muslim invaded Spain that Muslim concept is taken by the West and Colombus from Spain can find American continent.

Quran never said Earth is flat, it said Earth surface is in majority is flat, not mountenous so people can easily live on Earth.

Christian World is still part of Abrahamic Religion.

Sorry distant bhia jaan, I do not consider these ppl the slightest bit Abrahamic. During the phases of their pursuit to wealth and robbing, stealing and pilfering, looting . Even then when they dominated the world - the ripped up the 'Bible' written by St Paul - which may or may not an actual tiny amount of what actually Jesus said.

To justify to ppl to fill their ships to brim of cargo, there was no food shortage, plentiful as they were robbing and looting everything. So a ship at voyage for months and months. How did the work men survive?

Well they ate some of the cargo products?

What were the cargo products?

Answer it was human being- they ate and fested on Africans a good portion were Muslim. Right infront of the other 'cargo' .

The Christian stake house in Southampton , I think, during the victorian age. Wanted to make beef stake so affordable to common ppl that they should have it every day?

What was their substitute?

Answer - humans - bengali Muslims ended on the plate quite a few times.

I have more respect for my Cambodians, that would rather dig up the ground in western initiated famine and eat spiders.

Or the Chinese that eat insects, but would never resort to the western level of what i don't even know what to call it.

The only Christians that I may still have a modicum and a ounce or gram of respect for it the Eastern orthodox Christians (Russians not included).

Can you truly call them Christian, when the Holy trinity most likely never existed in the Aramaic bible ( the very 1st Bible- that got conveintantly destroyed .)

 

[fallstuff]

The point is Govt doesn't want to make a deal. If they are giving guaranteed capacity payments to electrical plants what's wrong in a deal where the company can sell it to anyone they want ?

This given, me another insight. Imagine the ecological disaster happens during horrifying cyclone season that is awe inspiring of Its force. Where the actual strength intensifies and it whittles down once it reaches west bengal/Indian Eastern states and bdesh.

Oil spills are massive btw. Cyclone picks up this toxic carcengic crude oil that hazardous to human and all human life.

Drops potentially hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic oil into that province (bdesh /Eastern States. ) into their fresh water supply, our live stock and our crops. Fresh water food source.

It would like orange naipaming a
Whole region, coz it becoming of regional significance, and disturbing the power balance.

The ppl will die a lot quicker than orange naipam.

Million, hundreds of millions, will starve to death.

Whilst the followers of blonde hair and blue eye of ayran Jesus, wil say some disgraceful thing about the ppl from that region. Whilst benefitted from actual exploits that, that region governance got into debt to and also paid the western bodies to take our stuff.

Like one Rhodes statement in I think was in 1875.

Orange naipam honestly takes too long for the English and Americans. The Germans/nazis were slow and also partly intentionally slow with Jews at the time.

The brits wiped out 6 million ppl from that region at almost of a click of a finger .


Now it appears they want orchestrate another disaster. Indos our distant and very far removed bhia jaan considers them to be part of the Abrahamic family?

Like a said many times. Now is the time to be involved in green hydrogen, it will have better dividends out ppl, region, world and environment

The point is from the 15-16 the century their deep dark side of thier gov and rulers never of us as actual human beings. They merely see us as creatures

The Marine seismic vessel is legally restricted to Bangladesh territorial waters and EEZ.Seismic survey is considered commercial activity and not innocent passage so if the vessel conducts survey on the Indian side the crew risks legal action by the Indians.

If a reservoir spans the border of both nations the best thing to do is reach a sharing agreement with the neighbor e.g. North Sea UK and Norway or Khafji between Kuwait and Saudi. Or you risk war with your neighbor for stealing their resources.

 

[Tom-tom]

Entering the renewable green hydrogen generation is the one for bdesh. Japan, south Korea would jump on it like a cat that loves tuna .

Cyclone dropping hundreds of millions of gallons possibly even more of toxic cancerous crude oil on and a densely populated.

Pollution agriculture, live stock, drinking water and killing ppl immediately. None of you are picking this up though

Could Exxon keep the some of the results secret from the Bangladeshis?

@bluesky @Black_cats

You maybe aware that Exxon Mobil has made large oil and gas discoveries in offshore Guyana- Suriname region- the so called Stabroek fields. I understand the geology of the Indian subcontinent is very similar and there are possibilities of large offshore discoveries here too.

But the Guayana exploration was made possible because the Guyana govt gave extremely liberal terms to EM. IND, BD may have to offer similar terms to E-M for at least the first couple of fields.

it all depends on the due diligence of the host nation. If they are asleep at the wheel or expect and receive bribes from the operator - sure, the outcome will not be favorable. However, companies that are under the jurisdiction of the SEC can be heavily fined for corruption.

Petrobras hit with $853m corruption fine

The fine resolves a long-running corruption investigation at Brazil's state-owned oil company.

www.bbc.com

Oil and Gas Bribery Case Settled for $236 Million (Published 2010)

Federal prosecutors accused the companies of paying at least $27 million in bribes to officials in at least seven countries.

Bold part: Not all parts are similar to each other. I have not studied the geology of Guyana Surinam, but the BoB and BD geological formation is completely different from other sea areas of the sub-continent.

The Bengal land area was almost non-existent when the mainland India moved north to hit the mainland Asia that started creating the Himalayas and Tibetan platue about 38 million years ago.

The Bob was filled with silt and sedimentation running down from the Himalayas and this Bengal land was formed. The process is still continuing creating new islands one after another in the BoB.

This sedimentation is the key to the creation of oil and gas because of thousands of trillions of tiny dead organic materials that deposited and decomposed through many millions of years.

This as I have said many times here, this will be an ecological disaster. Considering the numerous of oil spills that has happened in history and even till today.

Only difference is the we have our terrifying and magnificent cyclone that will be a air pick and air drop of trillions of gallons of toxic cancerous on to Bangladesh and surrounding areas.

Destroying our food sufficiency, live stock, grains, vegetables/fruit and human life.

It will be a also a trilateral issue between Indian- bdesh- mymmar and then reaching out to places possibly as far as Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia

Also with Western or u.s controlled corporation operating it, if we do not jump to thier demands . At a very convenient time an ecological disaster will happen regarding an oil spill and it was 'oopsy accident that no one saw coming'
