Russian Production in the Middle East

Among the Russian oil majors, Lukoil is the most ambitious when it comes to plans outside the country. The Middle East is central to its strategy of concentrating 23 percent of its total production outside of Russia by 2015, and these plans in large part focus on Iraq. Unlike Lukoil, with its gigantic resources, Tatneft is developing one of Russia 's oldest fields. With each passing year, the problem of renewing its resources becomes pressing for the company. This drives its aggressive attempts to gain access to fields both in Russia and abroad. Tatneft is the only Russian company that managed to win recent auctions for exploring and drilling Libyan resources.

- Is China’s High-Quality Investment Output Economically Viable?Commentary
China’s rapid technological progress and its first-rate infrastructure are often cited as refuting the claim that China has been systematically overinvesting in non-productive projects for many years. In fact, as the logic of overinvestment and the many historical precedents show, the former is all-too-often consistent with the latter.
