  • 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.

The ongoing problem of reliance on energy imports to meet the majority of its increasing demand has become a key determinant in Turkey¶s foreign policy. It is even driving the country¶s push towards convergence with the world¶s biggest two gas exporters, especially Russia.Over the recent years, the Turkish oil and gas sector witnessed a surge in exploration and prospection, exploration and drilling activity in the country's south-eastern regions. Onshore, foreign companies discovered giant reserves of VKDOHJDVQHDU'L\DUEDNÕU&LW\$VDIXUWKHUVWHSWKH7XUNLVKJRYHUQPHQWKDVUHFHQWO\LQWHQVLILHGSURVSHFWLQJIRURIIVKRUHRLODQG gas resources in both the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Turkey¶s new effort bears three key indication. Firstly, Ankara wants to consolidate its international influence, especially because global investments shifted their priority in favor of the strategic regions. Secondly, Ankara is keen on narrowing the gap between domestic energy consumption and production. Thirdly, Turkey seeks to preempt attempts by the Greek part of Cyprus to increase its oil and exploration operations in the Mediterranean Sea. Nonetheless, Turkish exploration operations could largely face difficulties due to slowing investment flow caused either by falling oil prices or increasing geopolitical risks. Intensified OperationsAccording to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), Turkey¶s proven oil reserves do not exceed 312 million barrels, which is why its daily production was as low as 62000 barrels per day in 2015.

A gas pipeline also is planned to follow the same route. British Petroleum (BP) is the lead sponsor; there are nine other participants in the consortium. The BTC consortium is seeking the political and financial support of their countries’ export credit agencies, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group. The OECD Guidelines oblige companies to “contribute to sustainable development and to refrain from seeking or accepting exemptions from environmental, health, safety, labour, taxation and other legislation”. The NGOs charge that the Consortium has negotiated agreements that openly flout this obligation.

  • The East Siberia/Pacific Ocean (ESPO) Oil Pipeline: a Strategic Project – an Organisational Failure? N T a R Y M E Wojciech Konończuk C E S C O M
    ces Commentary i s s u e 2 | 2 2 . 0 . 2 0 0 8 | c e ntr e f or e A s T e rn s T u d i e s The East Siberia/Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline: a strategic project – an organisational failure? N T A R y M e Wojciech Konończuk c e s c O M The East Siberia/Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline is currently the most important and expensive investment in the Russian energy sector. Although this Far Eastern pipeline is rarely mentioned in the European media, this t u d i e s is a strategic project for Russia and is far more significant than other s widely publicised energy projects such as the North Stream Pipeline. On one hand, the new oil pipeline is expected to trigger the development a s t e r n of oilfields in East Siberia, which is planned to become a key oil production e centre for Russia in the future, especially in the face of decreasing pro- duction volumes in western Siberia. This grand infrastructural project is thus expected to be a catalyst for development of the entire Far Eastern e n t r e f o r c region. On the other hand, the ESPO is intended to diversify Russian oil and gas exports by increasing Russia’s presence on Asian markets, so that Europe is no longer the monopolistic consumer of Russian energy reso- urces. Moreover, the ESPO construction’s unusually high costs seem to N T A R y suggest that economic reasons are not the only ones which have brought M e about the practical implementation of the project.
