Trilateral Commission news thread

Formation of giant petroleum company

Feb. 5

The Trilateral Commission has consolidated and expanded its holdings in the oil industry by creating an international integrated oil producing, transporting, refining, and marketing organization called Poseidon Oil. This comes after the geopolitical landscape was shaken by recent jitters in the oil market due to the establishment of OPEMEC. The TC's move is intended to reduce oil dependency and secure a reliable supply of fuel during periods of crisis.

Poseidon Oil, 100% owned by the government of the Trilateral Commission, has been plowed with massive start-up funds, estimated at around $800 billion although the TC has refused to disclose financial reports. It is widely believed that Poseidon Oil will suffer financial losses for the forseeable future, although it is as much a strategic asset as it is a business.

The Poseidon Oil organization, technically whose only purpose is to own shares in other companies, will control these already-established or newly-formed subsidiares with operations: West African Petroleum, Independent British Petroleum, CNNP Standard, Levant Stanrdard, CNNP Texaco, and HSBC Strategic Resource Development.

The huge amounts of money spent on this investment was quickly put to use, as deals were concluded between the Trilateral Commission and the governments of Menhad and Elyk, giving Poseidon Oil subsidiaries exclusive rights to drill for oil in the North Sea and Nigerian Sea oil fields. Construction on pipes, refineries, and other related facilities have already started, and proceeding at a brisk pace. Poseidon Oil will share profits with the governments, with 80% of the Norht Sea earnings going to Menhad and 80% of the Nigerian Sea earnings going to Elyk.

Currently production by the entire Poseidon Oil organization is at a negligible 17,000 barrels per day, but it is projected that output could reach 4 million barrels per day.

Texaco, Inc. and Standard Oil Co. are also planning on a massive venture into the Red Sea and former Tonguskan border area for possible oil fields.

Nag Ehgoeg's leading co-operation, ACO, is interested in supplying oil and natural gas to Poseidon Oil for resale.

While ACO is a private limited company with no intrest in allowing international shareholders, we are intrested in making our presence known to the international energy market.

We are willing to supply oil to Poseidon Oil at 80% of OPEMEC's prices and suggest resale with a 15% mark up (92% of OPEMEC prices).

OOC:
RL oil production of Nag Ehgoeg: 355,400 bbl/day (38th largest producers IRL)
Natural Gas production of Nag Ehgoeg: 110.2 billion cu m (5th largest producers IRL)

Poseidon Oil supports this deal with the Nag Ehgoeg strategic resource industry.

A new Poseidon Oil subsidiary will be formed to partner with ACO, this will be called Baikonur Hydrocarbons Ltd. Baikonur will cooperate with ACO to develop technologes and to deliver oil and natural gas to the international market.

We will offer the same profit-shaaring scheme as with the governments of Elyk and Menhad. 80% of profits will go to ACO/Nag Ehgoeg, and 20% will be collected by Baikonur.

Oil politics from Ashkelon: TC imports from Paradise to continue

Feb. 5

Despite the formation of its own energy industry, the Trilateral Commission has reiterated its commitment to maintain a steady importation of oil from Paradise. Analysts believe this politically motivated maneuver is designed to avoid alienating the Paradisan Empire, which currently rents out facilities to nearly 4 million TC soldiers for use in the Ashertonian War.

Also, to avoid a price war with Paradise, Poseidon Oil wll avoid competing in Paradise's existing export markets.

Consolidation of the Caspian energy industries; oil deal with Kiensland

Feb. 6

Poseidon Oil announced today that it has concluded an energy deal with Kiensland. Baikonur Hydrocarbons Ltd., the Poseidon-owned subsidiary, will partner with the Kiensland oil industry to develop the northern Caspian's fossile fuel resources. The profit sharing agreement is identical to previous Trilateral Commission deals; 80% will go to Kiensland and 20% will go to Poseidon Oil.

$55 billion have been earmarked by Poseidon Oil to construct an extensive network of refineries, depots, and several thousands of miles of oil pipline all across Nag Ehgoeg and Kiensland. These developments aim to integrate the vast but scattered transnational Caspian oil district into a unified and efficient source of oil and natural gas.

OOC: I'm sure you're awear that any major building work in Nag Ehgoeg relating to our fossile fuels will be done by ACO rather than a foriegn company. We need to generate the jobs and such.

TC and NE sign oil deal with the Persian Civilization

Feb. 7

The Trilateral Commission's Poseidon Oil and ACO Corporation of Nag Ehgoeg have signed a multi-national agreement to develop the extensive offshore oil and natural gas resources of the Persian Civilization.

This move will further increase the prominence of the Central Asian oil industry and will improve the collective efficiency of oil production in this part of the world.

The profit sharing scheme is similar to that in previous consolidation deals; 10% will go to Poseidon Oil, 10% will go to AOC, and 80% will go to the Persian Civilization's local suppliers. Construction of dozens of oil rigs has been planned to begin in several months, and drilling operations are scheduled to begin in 2 years, with full capacity reached in 4 years. Pipeline and refineries are also being constructed, and will be integrated into existing Nagian and Kienslander networks.

Norightsia proposes that Poseidon Oil sign a contract with the Norightsian government to provide oil for not only the military, but all civilian retailers. We will pay Poseidon's full price. However, for the inconvinience of sailing through the Indian Ocean, we offer to allow Poseidon Oil to use the Norightsian ports on the Bengal Coast as distributive centers for all Asia.

Poseidon Oil has signed a deal with Sarawakh to develop the rich oil fields of Malaysia, and we have also ascertained that Thailand itself holds a significant offshore oil field. We invite the Norightsian government to enter a three-nation consortium with the Trilateral Commission and Sarawakh to integrate the South China Sea into an international oil-producing region, so that not only will Norightsia distribute oil, but also produce and profit from these resources.

We propose this profit sharing scheme:

In the oilfields of Malaysia: 80% goes to the Sarawakh East India company, 10% goes to a Norightsian company, and 10% goes to Poseidon Oil
In the oilfields of Thailand: 80% goes to a Norightsian company, 10% goes to Sarawakh EIC, and 10% goes to Poseidon Oil

Poseidon Oil will also fund the building of several thousand miles of pipeline and several refineries in both Sarawakh and Norightisa, although the ownership of this construction will be in the hands of local Sarawakan or Norigthsian companies.

Religious reforms

The TC has announced a series of religious reforms, largely aligned with TC's foreign policy.

Catholicism has been legalized. This is a requisite for better relations with the Papacy and Holy League. There will still be limits on Catholic worship. Catholic services can only be held twice a week at the Interfaith Chapel in Ashkelon, Israel. THere will only be a maximum of one bishop allowed to manage Catholic affairs in the nation, and no extra bishops or archbishops. All Catholics must register with the government.

Sunni and Ithna-Shia have been outlawed. All Sunni and Ithna-Shia property will be confiscated and turned over to Ismaili-Shia community led by Aga Khan IV, who lives in Ashkelon and has good personal relations with the TC leaders.

Chalcedonian Orthodoxy has been outlawed and all their property transfered to the Monophysites. The government will start appointing a new autocephalous Patriarch of the Sinai to lead the Monophysites of the nation.
