Escobar: How Russia Will Counterpunch The US/EU Declaration Of War Authored by Pepe Escobar via The Saker blog, Only self-sufficiency affords total independence. And the Big Picture has also been keenly understood by the Global South … One of the key underlying themes of the Russia/Ukraine/NATO matrix is that the Empire of Lies (copyright Putin) has been rattled to the core by the combined ability of Russian hypersonic missiles and a defensive shield capable of blocking incoming nuclear missiles from the West, thereby ending Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.) This has led the Americans to nearly risk a hot war to be able to place hypersonic missiles that they still don’t have on Ukraine’s western borders, and so be within three minutes of Moscow. For that, of course, they need Ukraine, as well as Poland and Romania in Eastern Europe. In Ukraine, the Americans are determined to fight to the last European soul – if that’s what it takes. This may be the last roll of the (nuclear) dice.

Russia is struggling to sell oil as buyers flee the stigma, logistical challenges and fears of further sanctions that come with dealing with Moscow in the wake of the Ukraine invasion.Even without direct sanctions on its energy industry Russia will lose around one million barrels per day (bpd) in oil exports, according to analyst Jarand Rystad, head of Rystad Energy, from the 10.5 million bpd it sold last year.That is despite the scarcity of global supplies sending prices soaring.Brent North Sea crude oil -- the industry benchmark -- rocketed this week to nearly $120 per barrel, while gas hit a record peak.OPEC and other major oil exporters, including Russia, refused to increase production beyond previously-agreed levels when they met on Wednesday, dashing hopes of easing supply pressures.The price might be working in Russia''s favour, but it faces a major freeze-out from buyers.Energy Aspects estimates that 70 percent of its oil exports are paralysed as brokers and refineries shun Moscow in spite of the red-hot market.

Sales from Russian oilfields unaffected: ONGC

06:43pm, Thursday, 03'rd Mar 2022 Economic Times India
Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) said on Thursday it did not foresee any challenge in selling its share of crude from Russian oilfields or repatriating dividends from there in the current situation."Based on present applicable sanctions and removal of five Russian banks from SWIFT arrangement, the company does not foresee any challenge in selling crude oil or repatriating dividends except that scrutiny of financial transactions may be higher than usual," ONGC Videsh, the overseas arm of state-run explorer, said in an emailed response to ET. "ONGC Videsh banks in Russia are not affected by SWIFT cut off as of now as per our information," it added.Oil prices rallied to $119 per barrel on Thursday on fears that Russian supplies will be disrupted by the volley of Western sanctions that are aimed at non-energy sectors. Cautious financiers, insurers, and traders are steering away from Russian oil cargoes. "As of now, we have not faced any issues (in selling crude)," ONGC said.ONGC didn''t clearly say if it was rethinking its investment plan in Vostok, Russia''s massive arctic oil project. "Considering the dynamic nature of the development as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, ONGC Videsh is keeping a close watch on the development," the company said on Vostok plans.Sources told ET that Western sanctions would make it nearly impossible for ONGC to raise capital for investment in the massive Vostok project.

HOUSTON, USA – Exxon Mobil has begun removing employees who are US citizens from Russia, according to two people familiar with the matter. The departures include staff from its large oil and gas production operations on Sakhalin Island in Russia’s Far East. Exxon last year employed more than 1,000 people across Russia with offices in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Yuzhno-Sakhalinst, according to its website. The number of expatriate staff being evacuated was unclear on Tuesday, March 1. The company sent a plane to Sakhalin Island to retrieve staff, one of the people familiar with the matter said. Exxon operates three large offshore oil and gas fields with operations based on Sakhalin Island. It has been advancing plans to add a liquefied natural gas export terminal at the site. An Exxon spokesperson did not reply to a request for comment. “Exxon’s Russian business is relatively small in the context of its wider enterprise, so it does not have the same significance as it has to BP or TotalEnergies, if it were to abandon its Russian assets,” said Anish Kapadia, a director at energy and mining researcher Pallissy Advisors.
