butterfly   If it ain't for the covid it is the dust storms: 2022-05-16 15:49

Shafaq News / On Monday, more than 110 people were transferred to hospitals due to the dust storm that chocked several Iraqi regions.

Chamchamal Health Department said that more than 30 people, including children, were taken to hospitals. Some of them were in critical conditions and suffered from shortness of breath.

Al-Sulaymaniyah Health also reported that 70 cases of suffocation were recorded during the past hours, while the Garmyan administration recorded 10 cases.

Many Iraqi governorates were shrouded in thick brown dust due to strong winds.

Today, Basra, Baghdad, Al-Sulaymaniyah, and Najaf airports suspended flights due to severe dust storms.

The meteorologist Sadeq Attia said on Facebook that "the dust storm would continue until Tuesday noon, in the cities of the south and east of the country," also expecting that "it will be worse tomorrow morning."

A dust storm, also called a sandstorm, is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface.

Butterfly   2022-05-16 11:16   Shafaq News/ Iraq's Minister of Oil, Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar Ismail, on Monday said that his country is ramping up its production capacity goals, targeting six million barrels per day (bpd) in 2027 and eight million bpd in 2029.

"The Ministry is expediting the optimal plans and projects to invest the associated and non-associated gas in order to bolster the energy sector, curtail the reliance on fossil fuel, conserve the environment, and reduce harmful gas emissions," he said before the 29th Middle East Petroleum and Gas Conference in Manama, Bahrain's capital city.

The Ministry affirmed that Iraq "is committed to the stability of the international oil market via the cooperation with the country members in OPEC+ to face the challenges facing the market, restore its balance, and retain the gains it achieved recently."

OPEC+, which achieved a historic reduction of 9.7 million barrels per day between May 2020 and July last year, is unwinding cuts due to improving demand. It was adding about 400,000 bpd to the market every month and increased that to 432,000 bpd for May and June.

Brent, the global benchmark for two thirds of the world's oil, was trading 1.6 per cent lower at $109.76 a barrel at 12.53pm UAE time on Monday, while West Texas Intermediate, the gauge that tracks US crude, was down 1.percentent to $109.01 a barrel.

butterfly   Be prepared for high gas prices. OPEC hasn't made enough billions, they want to make trillions.

Dave   Iraq yes RICH.......GOVT morally poor

Dave   SADR still after the corruption....aint backing down

butterfly   As OPEC said a few weeks ago, they will raise the prices, not lower them. So those that think "any" president controls the gas price, need to re-study what is actually happening in the world/USA.

butterfly   Dave good hope he is successful, but we may be dead by the time that happens.

butterfly   I have been reading where Iraq is going after ISIS and taking out a lot of them.

butterfly  Look at Russia, those people think everything is ok under a dictatorship bc they don't know what freedom is.

Dave   Nodda happening in Iraq until Maliki is in chains

Dave   butterfly doing better than being Soviet

Dave   No more MacDonalds in Russia though.......

butterfly   Every news channel is told what they can report. Funny thing is they broadcast Tucker Carlson's show---portions of it. Then they just broadcasted Rand Paul, the only one objected, to sending those extra billions to Ukraine.

Butterfly   Here's how much profit Big Oil raked in last quarter:

Shell: $9.1 billion   Chevron: $6.3 billion   BP: $6.2 billion   Exxon: $5.4 billion

They’re not raising prices to cover their costs—they’re raising prices to pad their profits.
