#2 Marginal old fields require a lot of manpower for relatively little return. Add the costs of kidnapping and terrorism. Then realize that a lot of operating contracts change over to a fixed dollars/barrel 'profit' to the operating company with all the oil price generated profit going to the governent and the political graft and patronage positions associated with it. It makes better sense to return the assets to the government and walk away, and invest your capital and quality manpower elsewhere (e. g. NW
shelf of Australia.)
