Sollte sich der Ölpreis weiterhin im Bereich von 70$ bewegen, werden neue Jahreshochs folgen. Solange keine Einigung mit dem Iran in Sicht ist und der Winter anhält, dürfte es keine Korrektur beim Ölpreis geben und somit die Aufwärtsbewegeung bei Dragon Oil weiter gehen. Mit einer erneuten Korrektur bei Dragon Oil rechne im Februar. Der Anstehende Frühling dürfte dann auch für einen fallenden Ölpreis sorgen.

A visiting Japanese delegation has expressed serious interest in joint hydrocarbon projects and modernization of Seyidi refinery, the second largest refining facility of Turkmenistan. The delegation, led by Norioshi Yabe (phonetically spelled) of Itochu, visited oil and gas installations in Turkmenistan and expressed firm desire to participate in a number of hydrocarbon projects including modernization and upgrading of Seyidi refinery near the border of Uzbekistan. The Itochu rep said that his company would soon present concrete proposals for mutually beneficial cooperation. In a parallel development, Minoru Sakai, director of information centre for exploration of hydrocarbon resources, visited Ashgabat and held meetings with a number of top officials. He told that in February 2006 an international seminar would be held in Japan where major Japanese companies, organizations and industry leaders would get together to discuss deep, long-term hydrocarbon cooperation with Turkmenistan.
A powerful Chinese delegation, led by Chzhan Gobao (phonetically spelled), vice chairman of China state committee, would begin preliminary round of talks tomorrow in Ashgabat for construction of a gas pipeline to China. Other important projects are also on the agenda.
The Chinese delegation is visiting Ashgabat in the run up to Niyazov’s landmark visit to China in spring this year. It is expected that Gobao and his team would thrash out the details with their Turkmen counterparts for a draft agreement to lay a natural gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to China. The pipeline is likely to have a designed capacity of 30 billion cubic meters. Turkmenistan is attaching great importance to Gobao visit as President Niyazov held yesterday a special brainstorming session with the oil and gas officials to give finalise the Turkmen stance in negotiations with the Chinese delegation. China has offered broad and deep hydrocarbon cooperation to Turkmenistan. The package, as early reports suggest, could include establishment and modernization of oil and gas exploration and extraction facilities and supply of related technology and equipment. In addition to the proposed pipeline project, China has offered to set up a silk fabric production facility and a velvet weaving plant in Turkmenistan. China is active in the Turkmen communications, transportation and construction sectors also. During the recent gas spate between Ukraine and Russia, Turkmenistan maintained a consistently neutral stance and adhered to its commitments, demonstrating that Turkmenistan can be relied upon as a long-term, stable energy provider.
