felix said:so to defend myself (and the entire western oil industry) against duck_raper's statement, i've actually found out a bit more on this subject, and it's as i suspected. while i know damn well it's not done for altruistic reasons, the facts are: the western companies are going in there to provide the much-needed technical know-how and experience required for the construction, engineering and logistics projects to help get these countries' oil industries off the ground. my own projects will involve visiting each onshore base and rig (onshore & offshore) and basically teaching them how to run their logistics & materials operations, and then leaving the 'natives' to it. the people working there are, in the majority, local.
and the decision to export oil is up to the country in question. the profits don't all get funnelled into the west; they would mostly go to the country's treasury. what the country does with that is up to them. i don't think the three countries i'm going to first have the worst record in that respect, but i'll do some more reading. (not that it'll put me off going, i've got fucking bills to pay here.)

so to defend myself (and the entire western oil industry) <- note the wink. i said that as a bit of a joke, dear.
and i said: while i know damn well it's not done for altruistic reasons
i'm certainly not naive about the situation, if anything i'm more cynical than most. but i stand by everything i said above. i'm not going to south africa or south america or iraq.
anyway...
