Iranian Consortium

Japanese: イラニアン・コンソーシアム - いらにあんこんそーしあむ
Iranian Consortium

…As a result, international oil companies, mainly in the Middle East, began to take joint control of large crude oil resources through joint ventures and other methods. For example, in 1947, the four American majors (Jersey Standard, California Standard, Texaco, and Mobil) established a joint venture called ARAMCO to control Saudi Arabia's resources, and in 1954 Iranian resources were owned by the Iranian Consortium, a consortium made up of the five American majors, BP, Shell, CFP, and Iricon, a joint subsidiary of an independent American oil company. As described above, today's international oil companies, known as majors, are characterized by their multinational operations and vertical integration. …

...In 1971, BP lost its production facilities in Libya through nationalization, and in 1973 the first oil crisis occurred. Then, in 1979, the Iranian Revolution and the second oil crisis that followed were more severe than those of the other majors, since BP held 40% of the interests in the Iranian Consortium (created by the majors in 1954). However, in recent years, the company has shifted its main operations to the North Sea and Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, and its main oil fields are the Forties oil field in the North Sea (production began in 1975), the Magnus oil field (1983), and the Kuparuk oil field in Alaska (1983).

…71年にリビアにおける生産設備が国有化によって失われ,73年には第1次石油危機が発生した。そして79年のイラン革命とそれに続く第2次石油危機では,BPがイラニアン・コンソーシアム(1954年にメジャーなどによりつくられた)における利権の40%を保有していたため,他のメジャーに比べ大きな打撃を受けた。しかし最近では事業の主体を北海,アラスカのプルドー湾に移し,北海のフォーティーズ油田(1975生産開始),マグヌス油田(1983),アラスカのクパルク油田(1983)がBPの主要油田になっている。…
