Ambassador to Paris Ali Ahani with Harald Jan Teodor Dahle, talking about the Iran Norway relations.

Hello friends,

Without serious dialogue and common ground, there can be little hope for progress. Where there are clear disregard for humanistic values and human lives, real peace is not possible.

It is not enough to "talk peace", one also has to live a humanistic life. Who are we? We have to show the other side who we are and what values we adhere to.

Unlimited economic growth is not ad-visable, our natural resources are under severe threat. The increasing global warming should be our number one con-cern, for future generations.

In order to solve these common chal-lenges, we need to seriously focus on easing tensions and find common ground. Let Albert Schweitzer's words, "Reverence for Life" be our guiding light!

Have a good day!

With a third rig to be added early next year; TOTAL won a 30% stake in the field last year, while Qatar Petroleum holds 70%.

TOTAL says it plans to invest $3.5B over five years in Qatar's Al Shaheen oilfield, as the French company and Qatar Petroleum formally launch a joint venture company that will operate the offshore field.

CEO Patrick Pouyanne says at a news confe-rence in Doha to mark the inauguration of the North Oil Co. joint venture that will run the field that TOTAL aimed to maintain Al Shaheen's output at 300K bbl/day for "many years."

TOTAL'S SUPPLY BASE ON KISH

The TOTAL supply base on Kish was the very first enterprice that I encountered. I had flown in the night before, pitch black, found a hotel and had started from scratch. I stayed on Kish for the next three weeks and took part in no less than one seminar and two conferences.

AGIP: FIRST ON THE KISH ISLAND

The seminar was a writers seminar in regi of International Pen, the world associaion of writers. The first conference was on Iran's Free Trade Industrial Zones, and the second was in regi of Seyyed Ata'ollah Mohajerani.

Mohajerani, Khatami: Dialogue among civilizations.

The Iranian writer journalist and author  served as Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Iran under President Moham-mad Khatami until 2000 when he was re-signed from office for alleged permis-siveness. He also served as the speaker of the cabinet during that time. He later became the president of the Iranian Inter-national Centre for Dialogue among Civili- zations,but resigned from the post.

THE UNITED STATES AND GLOBAL OIL

The big gap between what the United States now produces and what it con-sumes, nearly 10 million barrels a day, is simply too wide to be bridged.

The oil market is seamless and is largely driven by supply and demand. Middle Eastern supplies affect the price of Mid-dle Eastern oil, yes, but also the price of global oil.

And while the United States can and should conserve energy and develop alternate energy sources, the gap be-tween what the United States now pro-duces and what it consumes, nearly 10 million barrels a day, is simply too wide to be bridged.

CHINA'S CNPC WEIGHS TAKING OVER IRAN PROJECT IF TOTAL LEAVES

China’s top oil and gas company CNPC is considering taking over Total’s stake in thew giant Iranian South Pars gas project if the French company leaves Iran to comply with any new U.S. sanc-tions, industry sources said. 

Total signed the $1 billion deal to devel op the South Pars gas field in July. The contract gave CNPC the option to take over Total’s stake if it pulled out, accord- ing to sources involved in the talks.

The deal was the first major Western energy investment in the Islamic Repub- lic since international sanctions, includ- ing most of those imposed by the Unit ed States, were lifted as part of a land mark agreement in 2015 over Iran’s nuclear program.

But after U.S. President Donald Trump refused in October to certify that Tehran is complying with the deal, Congress will have to vote on whether to reimpose sanctions on Iran.
