It is September 28, 2004 and the time has just passed noon. My mobile phone rings. Sweden’s national TV Corporation (SVT) is calling and they want to visit me for an interview. The price of oil has just passed US$50 per barrel so they want to record my comments before their evening news broadcast. At that moment I am eating dates in the office of Abdulla M. Al-Malood who, in 2004, was head of production for the giant oilfield Bab in Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Upon hearing this, SVT realizes it will be difficult for them to visit so they satisfy themselves with some comments via telephone. A few minutes later Sweden’s national radio broadcaster rings me with the same agenda. The reason for my visit to the Bab oilfield is to learn more about oil production.
