Imperial News Network:

“In the past couple of months the Scandinvan Oil Consortium has now officially reported its new oil fields in the northern parts of the Empire which posses the largest current oil field in the Scandinvan Empire. For this the Scandinvan Oil Consortium has released the maps of its current claims and the amount of oil in that each field in order from left to right, and then from starting at the top. Each Scandinvan barrel does equal 55 gallons.

Oil Field in Barrels:
1. 14,500,000,000: The Scandinvans
2. 64,400,000,000: Daehanjeiguk
3. 72,200,000,000: British Londinium
4. 25,400,000,000: Maldorians
5. 217,800,000,000: The Scandinvans
6. 154,200,000,000: Shazbotdom
7. 107,500,000,000: The Silver Sky

Oil Claim Map:

With the recent oil claims the Scandinvan Imperial Legions have deployed two legions of Imperial Marines to defend the lands from foreign encroachment and more so to protect any over exploitation done by the Scandinvan Oil Consortium. Yet, the oil claims are expected to increase population of the region by two fold and to increase the GPD by ten times at least. Overall, the reception has become positive by the people and it viewed by the Imperial Administration as a good thing for the economy.

Settlement Map:
http://img101.imageshack.us/my.php?image=northernlandsgh3.png

The drilling has already begun now and the Imperial Administration has already granted a charter to the Scandinvan Oil Consortium, which is owned by the Emperor and Noble Houses, to exploit the oil deposits and are now legally their property, though to exchange ownership of the oil deposits they have to gain Imperial permission before they do any such thing.

OOC: By the way you can possibly get an oil field, only likely way for this though is to be an ally of my nation.;)

Scandinvan Oil Consortium Report:

“In the weeks following our official press release we have begun to tap oil fields 1, 3, and 7 successfully, while at the other oil fields we have begun to set up the drills and we expect to be able to begin pumping out oil in the oncoming months in great amounts.

Further, we have calculated we will be able to pump over a hundred million barrels a day within a year if our current works proceed on course. Though we do recognize we are harming the environment we have kept the damage to less then a quarter the maximum amount of damage is allowed by Scandinvan law. So we are pleased to note after we are through pumping oil here we shall be able to return the local environment back to its former glory.

As for any questions please ask the corporate office that regard our business or for any possible large scale invesments.”

OOC when has that stop BCOOC: To note for the time being the oil will only serve my nation's needs and is not being exported right now so who nows as he only targets threats to his international trade and since he does not sell a lot of oil to my nation is should not be of real trouble to him, but to state only ask questions relating to the thread right now though I do not wish to sound mean.

We would be interested in discussing the construction of oil refining, gas pipeline, and LNG processing facilities for the aforementioned fields. This venture would be strictly downstream in nature, with our company purchasing the crude oil and natural gas produced for refining and processing. Our company would then distribute the product in your nation under the VP brand name. None of the oil would be exported at this point in time and our company would pay your national taxes on all refined products produced, so this would be consistent with your government's intentions to focus on the domestic market with this find.

Further discussion can be pursued at any time.

Further discussion can be pursued at any time.We wish to state that currently we domiante our own local market and we follow strict price controls by the government which help to keep gas prices quite low in our nation and any foriegn venture would have to keep their gas prices below $1.50 per gallon and we wish to ask would you follow this guideline?

Vetalian Petroleum

We would be willing to do this, but only if we are capable of purchasing the crude oil at the subsidized price. Otherwise, it will not be economical to refine and sell it in your market. We can sell the gasoline and diesel at $1.50 retail, but the cost of the crude oil would have to be lower than that in order to make the investment worthwhile. We feel a price of $55/barrel would be adequate for our needs (Scandinavian 55 gallon barrel, not standard 42 gallon) and would more than cover our financial needs. This would give us a $0.50/barrel margin, enough to cover our costs and to provide adequate profit margin for the investment.

If you feel this is satisfactory, we would be willing to discuss the specifics of the construction program.

OOC: What is with all these oil field threads lately?

Official Message from the Agency of Imperial Contracts:

On behalf of the Agency Board and the Imperial Cabinet, His Imperial Majesty wishes to offer grants of funds to the improvement of the facilities in extracting petroleum from the fields. We desire nothing in return for these finances, save that they be put to good use in managing the infrastructure.

A sum of $250 billion (conveniently translated into the proper currency) is available for your use, however small or great it may be.

Vetalian Petroleum

Based upon the field estimates provided by the Scandinavian government, we estimate that these new fields will be able to produce 12.5 million barrels per day of crude oil without overproducing the reserves. In addition, estimates of recoverable gas and likely existing deposits will likely support up to 200 billion cubic feet per year of gas production, which can either be sold domestically or exported. In accordance with Vetalian environmental regulations, in addition to any regulations of the Scandinavian government, no gas will be flared from oil fields. Any surpluses will be stored on site in the facilities we are constructing, and if permitted we will sell surpluses for export in order to prevent supply gluts.

As a result, we plan to build the following:
6.0 million bpd of gasoline production
4.0 million bpd of diesel/heating oil
2.2 million bpd of kerosene/jet fuel
300,000 bpd of naptha, residual oils, and feedstocks

Pipelines capable of transporting 125 billion cubic feet of natural gas
100 billion cubic feet per day of LNG processing capacity
1 trillion cubic feet of gas storage

These can be modified based upon specific needs, especially the relative demand of gasoline and diesel fuel. Cost estimates and completion deadlines will be discussed once further information is provided.

We are interested in your plans to upgrade the oil facilities in these fields and would be interested in discussing a joint venture to manage the refining and distribution infrastructure. This would allow us to spread out the cost of constructing these facilities

Based upon current estimates, it will take at least $125 billion to construct the refineries and another $100 billion for the natural gas infrastructure over the next 10 years.

Construction is moving ahead as planned, and we are awaiting only the activation of these crude oil fields to begin processing crude. Currently, we have 500,000 bpd of pipeline and 450,000 bpd of refining capacity online and expect to add around 1.2 million bpd of capacity per year over the next 10 years until the facilities have reached their projected capacity. Work begins on the natural gas facilities next year with an expected completion in 8 years.

We will begin construction VP stations to begin selling our products at retail starting this year, and will begin dispensing fuel ideally at the start of next year. Current plans are for up to 150,000-170,000 stations to dispense our branded fuels across your nation although these can be revised depending on local market needs.

We can offer gas powered microturbines in the 30 kilowatt and 65 kilowatt range. These turbines can provide low maintenance power from methane, unprocessed wellhead gas, and gas which would have been flared. This improves on site efficiencies for both platform and oilfield operations and reduces the need to release particulate matter into the air. These turbines are designed for long duration use and do not require lubricants, they use an air bearing system.

The standard prices for these turbines are:
30 kilowatt-- $150,000
65 kilowatt-- $230,000

Discounts can be negotiated on quantity purchases.

As well, we believe translation is not extremly nesscary service for your group as most of the people in the Empire speak English which should not be any trouble, provided that your adminstrators speak English that is.

We hopes that is satisfactory for you.

CEO of the Scandinvan Oil Consortium

OOC: It is alright. :p Yet, to state remember many of the people who are in charge of the Scandinvan Oil Consortium are patriotic and loyal to the Empire and are also generally honest in their affairs and will not like the scrupulous business of Griffincrest. Also, to state they do have good knowledge of what Griffincrest does and thus know what they are getting in if they deal with your group.

IC: Scandinvan Oil Consortium Encrypted Response:

We know the affairs that your corporation does and we cannot, while saying we are loyal citizens of the Empire and good persons, do busniess with your group and give you access to our people's land. Thus we shall not sell you any rights to our oil fields, this is with our knowledge of your group violating our own naiton's laws and harming our nation's good will missions and thus we shall not sell you any rights to our fields. We does this with the knowledge that you may attacks our lands in a futile attempt to wrest our people's rightful lands. As well, we know of our goverment buying 'your' lands, which we might note are three hundred miles away from this location and that your oil field was entirely dried up, to state you were lucky to have been able to hold these lands as long you did due to the fact of your treachery to my people's Empire as many times as you did and your interefence in our affairs. So now we wish to state that any agreesion towards our nation shall be seen as an attack upon us and shall do what is nesscary to counter any threat presented.

Signed,
Board of Chairmen of the Scandinvan Oil Consortium

The response from Chairman Phoenixclaw was short and to the point

I am sorry to hear that.

Almost immediatly after word was given that the oil was not given, five stealth ships unleashed a massive barrage onto the Scandinvan Oil Consortium's headquarters and several other major buildings and work sites owned by the company. These ships had been laying dormant for years now, since the last war Griffincrest had waged with the Scandinvans. There would be no warning as to who fired the missiles, and no way to confirm exactly who launched them. Each vessel would launch their twenty four Tomahwk cruise missiles from maximum range and than zip across the sea, the only thing to show they were ever there being the destruction left on the ground.

If you disagree that this is not a god mod perhpas a mod may be of use here.

All of our facilities are now operational, and we await the flow of crude oil to our facilities as soon as possible. In addition, we will ensure our equipment is standardized with the Daehanjeiguk-operated fields in order to prevent any inefficiencies in the supply process.

The GSN, much like the United States Navy, keeps ships nearby potential troublespots on the map. You have been a trouble spot since Hydac I believe, and I have even dropped mercs within your land to support a rebel movement. Instead of carriers, however, I deploy stealth ships, as they are far easier to hide. They are also positioned in international waters just past your maritime boundary.

Also, it was not decades, and these would not be the same ships. Rather, they would be routinely swapped in and out for repairs and your usual vessel check up.

I did not specify what I blew up, only what was fired upon, and the likely effects. For all that I know, you might have a uber powerful anti missile defense system, but the interception of my missiles would be rather unlikely.

It seems we each have a mod to our side, as Melkor said that my deployment is acceptable. Now what do we do? Also, I have updated my factbook to include a line that all trouble zones recieve an alternating shift of vessels to avoid furhter problems like this.

Though to state both mods seemed to agree if this us to continue it should be elaborated, reposted, in order to prevent confusion. So as it is we can either engage in a large scale alliance war, as I already have gotten a TG offerring assitance in war against you, which was rather quick yet :D worhty, in which my allies, the Grand Imperial Alliance and other, and your allies, the infamous Corporate Alliance and whomever else, engage in a long term slug match. Or we could just drop this and you can interview my Emperor's Steward wth your news paper in the standard media event of demonizing or hounding ones political foes.;)

...large scale war was never intended, only bothersome explosions to make you reconsider, followed by a blockade.

...large scale war was never intended, only bothersome explosions to make you reconsider, followed by a blockade.OOC: Well, any attack on my land will be meet by a public out roar which will allow me to gain my people's support in an all out war against you and any blockade against me will further agiate my people, strengthening their resolve more, and be dealt with by my navy. Also, please not my people never have liked you so it would be relatively easy for me to keep a large scale war up, which would be called for by the people anyway, and mostly due to years of high military spending and in a constant readiness for war.

OOC in the end it be war no matter what happens, really not smart thinking there BC

You would never know who did it, the attacks can never be confirmed and only suspicions would be abound, as even if you wereto capture a stealth ship intact, a near impossible task, the crew will likely not talk for fear of their families safety, and there are no markings to let you know where the ship is from.

The blockade would be kept up by the CA Corps of Shipping, a multi-national privateer organization. None of these vessels would bear any sign of where they are from either, and the men also would not give up there allegiance for fear of reprisal agaist loved ones.

Basically, you would not be able to definitively know who assaulted you, and there is no solid evidence of Griffincrest. Also, the Corporation and its assosciates will deny that they were involved to their graves.

Isa, you really shouldn't randomly hop into threads to give opinions when you don't know the backround of things.

OOC you and oil we all know about it

OOC: Well, my forces still would attack the forces as any blockade would be a violation of my soveringty and as such my navy would be legally allowed to destroy their forces. As well, since they are not in the service of a standing army of a nation they could be tortured and info gained from them would be legal considering the Geneva Convention only applies to armed soldiers in my interpation of it. As well, we the private communications sent by Griffincrest would be at my disposal to use as evidence, your groups past crimes with my nation and also your attacks upon other countries in your search for oil, as well there is the concidence as soon as you end negoations consided with your attack upon my nation, as well my own intel would follow the ships back to their home ports to further evidence against you, and your own threats of action against my nation over the matter.

You cannot torture people, that is why there is so much controversy over Guantanamo and all. And still, the most you would get from people who survived is either A) Nothing, or B) that their officer pays them. You would eed to get an officer, and that, while not impossible, is rather difficult. It may however, still come up in the RP, so, we can either sell stuff to Griffincrest or I can begin the privateer blockade and go all Trade Federation on your ass.

OOC BC can't you for once take no as no and not start a dam war over it

Nope.

Nope.

OOC well you do keep the bookies in business

As such I would proably be able to get the name of the officer and from there trace his pay check to an known account. Also, any blockade can and will be broken as you are dealing with a navy of a large nation which can defeat any small privateer group in its HOME waters where I have the advantage. As well, my nation is not a small pacfist group like Naboo was and any blockade by a corporation cannot be really long term due to my ability to break it.

Well lets try that out than shall we?

ooc: I hate war, and I love peace. But arguing about starting a war is pointless. Either start it or just stop.

OOC: I thought this was about energy. Hopefully, although my post was a bit off topic, I can sell some gas turbines to help run the oil machinery.
