We reached where we are without oil bonanza and I never wanted Brazil to have lots of oil. Because we did not need an oil bonanza. Before PBR found oil. 3/5/2008 Message 24370225 Hopefully the oil comes slowly and steadily and not as a rush. The buying of extra gasoline is plain economics: what is cheaper?

collecting a much bigger chunk of the profits from the oil produced in their countries. Two of the world's oil-rich countries may make it harder for oil companies to do business with them. Both Brazil and Nigeria currently offer fairly good contract terms to international oil giants like Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) that operate within their borders. But now they're hoping to collect a much bigger chunk of the profits from the oil produced in their countries.
