Sudan sees no quick end to oil row with South
Tuesday 13 Mar 2012
Khartoum says it's under no pressure to find a deal and can survive without oil revenues
A senior Sudanese official dashed hopes of a quick end to a row with South Sudan over oil export fees, blaming Juba for blocking chances of a deal that would relieve both countries' beleaguered economies.
State Oil Minister Ishaq Adam Gamaa insisted Sudan was under no pressure to rush any deal because its economy could still survive without oil, a veiled warning to Juba, which depends on oil revenues for 98 per cent of its income.
The UN Security Council and the European Union last week urged both countries to end their oil row which some Western diplomats fear could lead to war as oil is the lifeline of both economies.
South Sudan split from Sudan in July under a 2005 peace deal that ended decades of civil war, but both states are still wrangling over how much the landlocked new nation should pay to export oil through northern pipelines.
In January, Juba shut down its entire output of about 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) after Khartoum started taking some oil to compensate for what it called unpaid transit fees.
The African Union is trying in a new round of talks in Addis Ababa to broker a deal, but Gamaa accused Juba of blocking a compromise.
"They have insisted not even to talk about proposals by (the African Union)," he told Reuters in an interview in the oil ministry on Sunday, adding it was up to Juba to choose whether it wanted a deal or not. "The decision is theirs," he said.
Gamaa said Khartoum was in a better position than Juba to weather the oil shutdown because its larger economy had diversified revenue sources such as gold and livestock exports.
"We came into the oil business only 10 years ago, so we have our system of taxing. We have our system of agricultural products. We have our system of livestock," he said.
In contrast, South Sudan looks vulnerable. Southern officials have said the new nation has foreign exchange reserves to manage for up to a year, but analysts have said the country may struggle after just a few months.
Gamaa countered southern statements that oil exports could resume quickly after a deal, saying it would take at least one month to restart the pipeline, which was now fully flushed with water to avoid gelling.
"If you want to start it, you have to fill it with 3 to 4 million barrels," he said in his office on the banks of the Nile.
Gamaa said Sudan was willing to look with "flexibility" at a compromise over pipeline fees but that Juba's proposal to pay less than $1 a barrel would lead to no compromise.
Khartoum has said it wants fees totalling about $36 a barrel, plus $1 billion in arrears from July.
Gamaa declined to give specific charges, but said a pipeline fee should not be based on international norms such as mileage, as Juba had demanded, and should take into account that Sudan owns the pipeline.
"Sudan owns the pipeline... It's not (a) typical (case)," he said.
Sudan has said it wants a wider deal with South Sudan which would also cover sharing debt of almost $40 billion.
Both states also need to find a solution for the disputed border region of Abyei, mark the poorly-demarcated border and end accusations they are supporting rebels on each other's territories.
Gamaa declined to confirm that Khartoum had sold at least one shipment of confiscated oil, saying only that the government had taken the amount of oil it was entitled to as a transit fee.
He confirmed Sudan had diverted some southern oil to its two refineries, as the South has said, but added the government was allowed to do so to keep the pipeline running.
"It is flush oil. The South is trying to make an issue of it. This oil is part of the pipeline," he said.
Sudan hopes to resume oil exports from next year, when production would hit 180,000 bpd from 115,000 bpd due to a better recovery rate and production from new fields within existing blocks, he said.
"By the end of the year we will have 180,000 barrels," Gamaa said. Sudan signed a technical agreement with Norway last month to boost the recovery rate to around 45 per cent from 23 per cent.

I suppose this post--the secondof two as it turns out--is really proof that the adage "Familiarity breeds comtempt" is nothing but true.
I had been wondering if Roy was a good teammate. I had checked the play-by-plays to see how much of Roy's game is "in the flow" of the offense versus self-created / self-initiated (ie, "out of the folow). As it turned out 53.5% of Brandond Roy's points (excluding free throws) were deemed "unassisted" by the courtside statisticians. In 5 of the first 13 games, Roy scored more unassisted points than assisted points. Additionally, I had looked at the type of assists: did Roy's passing lead to easy buckets (in the paint) or jumpers (a little more pressure-packed and indicative of potentially standing around by other players "watching"). 62.2% of Roy's assists led to jumpers with the remaining to easy buckets.
Given the above, I had openly wondered if these stats are indicative of a Roy being a good / helpful teammate? Is he the kind of guy that faciliates a team game? Is he the kind of guy that players want to play with? I had been thinking these things because--I'll admit it (once again exposing myself to some BEdge scorn)--I cringe at some of Roy's plays.
To revisit the issue, I went to Joe Johnson of Atlanta as a likely comparison. (Unfair to compare Roy to other PGs like D-Will or CP3.) Would this box score investigation show Joe Johnson in a better or worse light than Roy?
Well, first of all, Johnson is having a better season. He's scored 247 points to Roy's 189 (they're tied with 66 assists through 13 games each). But what about the quality of those points? Do other Hawks like playing with Roy?
The numbers show this: 61.5% of Johnson's points end up being unassisted (compare to Roy's 53%). Furthermore, in 10 of those first 13 games, Johnson had more unassisted baskets than assisted. (I should point out that the bulk of Johnson's assisted points come courtesy of the 3-pt line--if we were looking at plain old baskets, it would be an even starker story).
- 6 unassted points to 4 (Washington)
- 14 to 5 (at Portland)
- 16 to 6 (at Sacramento)
- 8 to 2 (at Charlotte)
- 12 to 8 (Denver)
- 14-3 (at NY)
- 12 to 7 (at Boston)
- 12 to 10 (New Orleans)
- 18 to 10 (Portland) what a game this was!
- 12 to 0 (Houston)
As far as assists go, 57.5% of Johnon's assists are to jump shots versus 62.1% of Roy's (perhaps this just means that the Blazers are better shooters and/or Oden finishes really, really well... bu then again, Josh Smith is good too). There is one thing worth noting--there are a few examples of Joe Johnson tip shots (off of an offensive rebound); these are unassisted points of course but it is revealing that I didn't notice any of these in Portland's play by play.
So, if you buy that these sorts of numbers help shed light on how much a wing player is contributing to the flow of the offense, then Roy is comparing very favorably to Johnson as a "team player." It makes one wonder if the Atlanta blogs have people crying about Johnson's lack of team play.
I had asked in the first post if I had inhuman expectations of Roy. Reactions were mixed. Some people had the same sort of disquiet I had been experiencing. Others seemed rather perturbed or bewildered (or both) that anyone would question Roy's play in this fashion. In any event, it seems I was wrong. Roy is actually a better team player relative to other star-level SGs (if you take Joe Johnson as a proxy--I highly doubt K*be is playing less selfishly but I refuse to give links that have L*kers data any traffic whatsoever and will not look at them).
So, familiarity breeds contempt. I watch only Blazers games (mostly) and that leads me to find unrealistic fault in Roy's game. Just like people find tiny flaws in their spouses over time (except for mine, mine is perfect).
It can also give us some lessons on Nate and the general phenomenon of fans hating coaches and loving back-up PGs. Again, over-familiarity and a lack of relative context can (and does) lead to foolish assessments.
Still, I personally would find the game more enjoyable to watch if there were fewer isolation plays. That we can say players who score the majority of their baskets unassisted is ok says something about the state of basketball itself (perhaps).
