RE:is the oil pot going dryThe ME has been a fragmented political hot-bed for decades (if not centuries) - more of the status quo. (yawn). In the mean time, Iraq can keep up with any "high" quality demand SA falls short on- ORYX (Iraq) for example has been bringing Brent crude to the table for some time now. RGO could be doing the same in Iraq... if and when they choose to pursue that previous contract.
