Talk:National Oil Corporation

"The NOC of Libya is a state-owned company that controls Libya's oil and gas production through a number of fully owned subsidiaries, and is the largest oil producer in Africa" -largest oil producer overall, or largest state-owned producer? had a quick look at the reference given and couldn't find anything about it being the largest in either sense? though i don't doubt that it probably is- and I prob just missed it- but just to check... YEP SORRY NO IDEA WHERE I GOT THAT FROM. SORTED.

"Its mandate was to 'endeavour to promote the Libyan economy by undertaking development, management and exploitation of oil resources'" - could you get that from a primary source rather than referenced somewhere else (the reference given is a few lines down), as it appears to be a quote? DONE.

"all on a 85/15 basis onshore and an 81/19 basis offshore." - who's got 85 and who's got 15? I THINK IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR THAT NOC GET LARGER SHARE... BUT LET ME KNOW IF YOU STILL DISAGREE AND CAN CLARIFY!

"In 2008, rumours emerged that Ghanem was seeking to tender his resignation as NOC boss, following a request for $1.2b in cash or oil shipments to Muatassim Gaddhafi, son of Muammar Gaddahfi and National Security Advisor" - I may have this wrong, but wasn't it a request from Muatassim to Ghanem, rather than Ghanem to Muatassim as this reads? SLIGHTLY TWEAKED WORDING NOW.

Can't get access to the FT article (used up my free ones for now!) - but just to check, the whole of the Future of the NOC section is from the same article? fine if so, but just in case. YUP.
