Atlantic Oil

Ever heard of Statoil Thickstuff ? look it up.

I don't do what you tell me. I doubt anyone does.

So, is it SNP policy to nationalise the oil industry in Scotland?

[Bodie80]

DABmo, these 2 jokers think we'll benefit from 5billion from the whisky industry and want to nationalise the oil industry.

Ah well everything will be fine then

Scotland the only Country in the whole wurld.... To strike Oil and get poorer.

Even at today's prices which are beginning to rise Scotland would be 60 Million better off.

Another point to remember oil revenues would benefit 5.3 Million population as opposed to 55 Million

A couple of years ago a report by accountancy firm Grant Thornton shows that if an Independent Scotland received only 82.5% of North Sea Oil and Gas revenues Scotland would have a budget surplus of £4.4 billion, with 95% of revenues this would increase to £6.2 billion. It is abundantly clear that Westminster’s financial black hole is being filled with Scotland’s black, black oil. It is very simple even you if you allow yourself Paddy might just get that thick bonce O yours round it.

But and here's the rub even WITHOUT this rich resource Scotland would be a viable financial success.

Why do you Nats bring this up all the time ? Its in the past

Aye as always but that's fine by our unionists on here .

The difference between Nero and Zero and Buc and I is .. We believe in our country we believe in our fellow Scots who have the skills the ability and resources to make this a fantastic, wealthy, fairer, Country. Just wondering if Nero&Zero get their next door neighbours to run their households for them pay their bill etc. drag them into fights wi the mannie doon the road They seem comfortable with that arrangement.

Lol you know fine I will never ever give it up. Seems to me I'm the only one posting positive and enlightening stuff. You on the other hand just sit on the sidelines carping negatives and just repeating the same stuff "too wee" Too small" Too daft" An example of your closed mind... I start a thread about about a multi billion pound oil&gas discovery west of Shetland and a company has found a way to extract it.... And you say I'm looking back !!!! I point out to you that Norway have their state owned oil company and you convert that into Ah the SNP want to nationalise the whole oil &gas sector. You put absolutely no arguments of your own you just slap down mine without any thought or consideration. And you say Im the one looking daft ? !! have a wee think about that ..and FFS don't call me son

I have to say I am a fan of nationalisation over privatisation.
I simply cannot understand why a government should sell, to the private sector, such goldmines as water, gas, electricity, trains, the post office etc.
I understand that when the government is your boss, it seems that the workforce is made up of workshy fat union members who do nothing but smoke fags and play cards all day, and try to skim as much cash from their employers as possible. I would hope that these days, government employees would see their duty lies in doing their fair share thereby enabling all to prosper, and not just a few fat cat bosses.
A state-owned oil exploration firm may or may not be the answer but, since this Hurricane lot are already running in the race, a state-owned firm wouldn't even get out of the starting blocks before the contest was over

Thing is Jack this is not "nationalisation" the point I was trying to get over The Scottish people would own this new field. Just as Norway did at the outset of Oil. A company called Statoil.. And Statoil is ranked by Forbes Magazine (2013) as the world's eleventh largest oil and gas company and the twenty-sixth largest company, regardless of industry, by profit in the world. The company has about 23,000 employees. If we were to takeover BP that would be nationalisation. But try getting that across to the closed-minded obstinate detractors on here.

As for your final point Hurricane is a mid to long term project if we were to go for Independence in the next 3-6 years we would be right in there on the ground floor.

"
Which brings us back to West of Shetland. The mineral resources are there. But let’s not repeat the mistakes made in the North Sea. West of Shetland should be developed and exploited by a state-owned Scottish energy company. That way we keep the profits as well as the taxes. And avoid those “made in London” deficits."

Seems like the SNP want to nationalise it son.

If you just cut and paste any old shyte without reading it yer going to look pretty daft when it's used against you.

Try again son.
