Saboteurs Hit Five Iranian Oil Pipelines |
2005-09-04 |
Saboteurs using three homemade bombs halted crude transfers from five onshore wells in Iran's restive southwestern province of Khuzestan, the student news agency ISNA reported yesterday. "The evidence indicates that the incidents on Thursday were sabotage," a security official from the provincial governor-general's office, Gholamreza Shariati, was quoted as saying. After undergoing two days of repair, the pipelines were reported to be back in service, ISNA said. Shariati said that "some suspicious individuals" have been arrested in connection with the blasts, which had sparked the automatic shutdown of five wells. According to the report, three pipelines operated by Karun Oil and Gas Producing Company â a secondary subsidiary of the state-run National Iranian Oil Company â were damaged. "The damaged pipelines and one oilfield have been repaired and are back in service," KOGPC's deputy managing director Ahmad Tahan-Pesar said. "We have no decline in production at the moment." |

#6 I mean $1200 per year additional, assuming 100 gallons per month based on current prices of about $3 a gallon. |

#5 Sweet? what do you mean sweet? This just means that the energy analysts can foresee a supply interuption and the price of oil will be going up. Cut your nose off to spite your face. $4 a gallon gas is not a high price to pay for the collapse of the Iranian government. Why - it's only $1200 a year per taxpayer, about what we've paid for the Iraqi campaign so far, less the soldiers killed. |
