Hey Retard,

Apr 17th, 2011 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You're bragging how great a foreign company is (but forgot it's government control), while in the land you live (as you claim) wants the same thing, but than it's bad..evil, bla bla (remember the conversation about vale)
as I typed many times here geotard, you're left vs right nonsense in your head is poison for you. Problem is, you're to old to change.
I'm afraid you miss the point again.
Apr 17th, 2011 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The key point is that the strike was made in Brasilian EEZ, thus there will be proportionate income-flow to the Brasilian economy. This is good. My warning was that it should go where needed - not into the pockets of corrupt politicians. The transparency of the new Brasilian oil management agency will be tested each and every time such capital returns come to Brasil.
Statoil (irrespective of its balance of state/private ownership) is the best deep marine oil extractor in the world. Petrobras is the best in Brasil.
Vale (irrespective of its balance of state/private ownership) is the most successful in Brasil/world, at what Vale does.
When these companies succeed - hail their success.
Petrobras is the best in Brasil.
