Unsere Medien erzählen uns, Libyen hätte die kanadische Ölfirma Verenex verstaatlicht.
Einfach so, aus Geldgier und gültige Verträge seien dabei ebenfalls gebrochen worden.
Aber es ist so wie immer:
Diese Darstellung ist falsch.
Die Firma "Verenex Energy Inc" hat vielmehr seit September 2008 *von sich aus* einen Käufer gesucht!
Sie verhandelte dabei auch mit China National Petroleum und man wurde sich nahezu einig.
Aufgrund der älteren Verträge zwischen Verenex mit der staatlichen libyschen Gesellschaft National Oil Corporation (NOC) hatte Libyen sowas wie ein VETO-Recht oder Vorkaufsrecht (Right of first refusal (ROFR)). Libyen benutzte dieses Recht, alles war vertraglich abgesichert, Verenex hatte das vorher selber unterschrieben, also war das nicht illegal.
Die chinesische Firma zog ihr Angebot zurück und Verenex verkaufte dann an die Libyan Investment Authority (LIA).
Es gab keinen Zwang von Seiten Libyens, dass Verenex verkaufen musste, es gab also keine Zwangsverstaatlichung.
Verenex wollte selber verkaufen, es gab zwei Interessenten, die chinesische und die libysche Gesellschaft.
Aufgrund der ROFR-Vertragsklausel hatte Libyen die Vorkaufsrechte und nutzte diese.

Canadian explorer Verenex Energy has agreed to be acquired by the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) for CAD7.09 per outstanding share, or a total CAD314.1mn (US$293.7mn), following China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)'s withdrawal of its CAD499mn bid for the company in early September.

After CNPC launched its CAD10/share bid for Verenex in February 2009, Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) said it would exercise its rights of first refusal to buy Verenex, with the contractual pre-emption clause requiring NOC to match CNPC's offer. However, although no matching offer was put forward by NOC, the sale to CNPC remained blocked, resulting in the Chinese state company eventually losing patience with the deal and deciding to pull out. The Chinese exit from the deal left Verenex alone to negotiate with Libya, which was unwilling to pay as high a price as CNPC

Does Suncor still owe money to Gadhafi's regime?
Canadian oil giant Suncor may still owe money to the government of besieged Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi - money it won't be paying up any time soon.
According to the Suncor 2009 annual report, in that year the company owed $500 million U.S. - the remaining half of a $1-billion U.S. signing bonus that was originally agreed to by Petro-Canada in 2008.

Auf Seite 94 steht:
The company also assumed the remaining US$500 million obligation for a signature bonus relating to Petro-Canada’s ratification
of six Exploration and Production Sharing Agreements in Libya in 2008, payable in several instalments to be paid through 2013.
Suncor hatte wohl noch Zahlungen in Höhe von 500 Millionen Dollar bis zum Jahr 2013 an Libyen zu leisten.
Da kommt so ein Krieg gerade recht, denn hat man die 500 Millionen Dollar gespart.
