  • Endorser Statements (In Alphabetical Order)
    Endorser Statements (in alphabetical order) Rovnag Abdullayev, President, SOCAR (Azerbaijan) “The growing global oil & gas industry has also brought into the global agenda the mitigation of negative effects to the environment and climate change as well as environmental protection. Azerbaijan, as an oil producing country, has undertaken bold actions and achieved significant results during the past several years. SOCAR has joined the World Bank’s initiative “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” together with global oil giants and was the fifth company to endorse the initiative. Through joining World Bank's initiative on gas flaring, SOCAR has achieved to decrease the ratio of flared gas to 1.7% in 2013 and 1.6% in 2014 accordingly. Moreover, the captured flare gas was channeled into gas transportation network to be delivered to end consumers. This fact highlights once again the importance that Azerbaijan pays to environmental protection and mitigation of climate change risks.” Solomon Asamoah, Vice President, African Development Bank “We welcome this global Initiative to end routine flaring no later than 2030. The African Development Bank’s strategy for the period 2013 – 2022 has inclusive and green growth as the overarching objectives and this initiative is clearly aligned with our strategic focus of sustainable development.” Børge Brende, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Norway “In Norway flaring, except emergency flaring, has been forbidden from the start of our oil production, to avoid wasting resources. Later, global warming reinforced our commitment. Flaring in the Arctic is especially damaging. Carbon from the flaring falls on snow and the glacier, accelerating the melting. We have all seen the disturbing pictures of polar bears without their natural habitat of ice.

  • Iran Sanctions
    Iran Sanctions Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs July 9, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS20871 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) Summary Iran is subject to a wide range of U.S. sanctions, restricting trade with, investment, and U.S. foreign aid to Iran, and requiring the United States to vote against international lending to Iran. Several laws and Executive Orders extend sanctions to foreign companies that do business with Iran, as part of an effort to persuade foreign firms to choose between the Iranian market and the much larger U.S. market. A formal U.S. effort to curb international energy investment in Iran began in 1996 with the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA). No firms have been sanctioned under it and the precise effects of that law on energy investment in Iran—as separate from other factors affecting international firms’ decisions on whether to invest in Iran—has been unclear. While international pressure on Iran to curb its nuclear program has increased the hesitation of many major foreign firms to invest in Iran’s energy sector, hindering Iran’s efforts to expand oil production beyond 4.1 million barrels per day, some firms continue to see opportunity in Iran. This particularly appears to be the case for companies in Asia that appear eager to fill the void left by major European and American firms and to line up steady supplies of Iranian oil and gas. ISA was first passed at a time of tightening U.S.
