Joey: Listen to this next article and you tell me how important this is and how much money they are actually sticking in their pocket
per barrel of oil....I read today and went what the heck???
Oil oil starting to come on strong
After years of stagnant production, Iraq oil output is starting to increase.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- As the last remaining U.S. troops leave Iraq, oil production from the war-torn but oil rich nation is finally starting to ramp up.
Oil production in Iraq hovered around 2 million barrels a day for much of the post-U.S. invasion period.
But over the last year production jumped 13%, going from 2.3 to 2.6 million barrels a day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Much of that increase has come in the last few months alone, and it's part of the reason why many analyst expect Saudi Arabia to soon cut oil output.
In fact, some analysts say that over the next few years Iraqi oil production could really balloon. The Iraqis may eventually produce as much oil as the Saudis.
But an increase in Iraqi oil production raises several issues, including what impact it may have on world oil prices and how all that oil money will get divided up.
A massive amount of oil: It's no secret that Iraq has a huge amount of oil in the ground. EIA estimates the country has the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves, and even more may lie under the unexplored western desert.
Saudi oil production cut looms
A couple of years ago, the newly formed Iraqi government began awarding big contracts to the world's major oil companies in an effort to boost its nascent production.
The companies they selected came from all over the world -- including from all five permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council.
France's Total (TOT), England's BP (BP), China's CNPC, Russia's Lukoil and U.S.-based Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) were all picked.
Other companies include Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA), Occidental (OXY, Fortune 500), Marathon (MRO, Fortune 500), Norway's Statoil, Angola's Sonangol, and the oil service firms Baker Hughes (BHI, Fortune 500), Halliburton (HAL, Fortune 500) and Schlumberger (SLB).
The Iraqis were savvy in their negotiations. Normally, when firms develop oil fields the terms of the deal give companies ownership over a certain percentage of the yet-to-be-tapped oil.
But with the Iraqi deal, most firms don't actually own any of the oil. They are instead paid a service fee on each barrel that they pump.
The return on their investment is still attractive -- the energy research firm EPRINC estimated it at 15%. But it means they can't claim as much of the oil as an asset on their balance sheets, which can hurt their stock price.
It also means that over 90% of the oil revenue the fields generate will stay in Iraq.
"The service fee is tiny compared to the revenue from this oil," said , Amy Myers Jaffe, a fellow in energy studies at the James A. Baker III

Joey: Listen to this next article and you tell me how important this is and how much money they are actually sticking in their pocket

Oil oil starting to come on strong
After years of stagnant production, Iraq oil output is starting to increase.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- As the last remaining U.S. troops leave Iraq, oil production from the war-torn but oil rich nation is finally starting to ramp up.
Oil production in Iraq hovered around 2 million barrels a day for much of the post-U.S. invasion period.
But over the last year production jumped 13%, going from 2.3 to 2.6 million barrels a day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Much of that increase has come in the last few months alone, and it's part of the reason why many analyst expect Saudi Arabia to soon cut oil output.
In fact, some analysts say that over the next few years Iraqi oil production could really balloon. The Iraqis may eventually produce as much oil as the Saudis.
But an increase in Iraqi oil production raises several issues, including what impact it may have on world oil prices and how all that oil money will get divided up.
A massive amount of oil: It's no secret that Iraq has a huge amount of oil in the ground. EIA estimates the country has the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves, and even more may lie under the unexplored western desert.
Saudi oil production cut looms
A couple of years ago, the newly formed Iraqi government began awarding big contracts to the world's major oil companies in an effort to boost its nascent production.
The companies they selected came from all over the world -- including from all five permanent members of the United Nation's Security Council.
France's Total (TOT), England's BP (BP), China's CNPC, Russia's Lukoil and U.S.-based Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) were all picked.
Other companies include Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA), Occidental (OXY, Fortune 500), Marathon (MRO, Fortune 500), Norway's Statoil, Angola's Sonangol, and the oil service firms Baker Hughes (BHI, Fortune 500), Halliburton (HAL, Fortune 500) and Schlumberger (SLB).
The Iraqis were savvy in their negotiations. Normally, when firms develop oil fields the terms of the deal give companies ownership over a certain percentage of the yet-to-be-tapped oil.
But with the Iraqi deal, most firms don't actually own any of the oil. They are instead paid a service fee on each barrel that they pump.
The return on their investment is still attractive -- the energy research firm EPRINC estimated it at 15%. But it means they can't claim as much of the oil as an asset on their balance sheets, which can hurt their stock price.
It also means that over 90% of the oil revenue the fields generate will stay in Iraq.
"The service fee is tiny compared to the revenue from this oil," said , Amy Myers Jaffe, a fellow in energy studies at the James A. Baker III
