Himyar
Hanseatics lay claim to former Gutnish North Himyar
23. Mai 2023 | Lesezeit: 3 min
The absence of Gutarike in North Himyar has left the oil rich region hazardously unguarded, the events unfolding in Tarusa and Tarusan Al-Magreb leave the Gutnish Sector in need security - but this is not easy, CETO nations disagreed with the occupation and even Ivanist Tarusa may believe it to be their own as well.
Von Zäzilia Henckell, Bardaq (Al-Magreb)
The news from of the last year in petroleum markets has been nothing but negative as crisis after crisis has hurt global production time and time again. With the most recent problems of piracy and now a Tarusan succession crisis, an oil supply crisis is in full swing. This has ultimately made it to the desk of First Bürgermeister and President Katharina Günther who has spent the last week in debate with close advisers on which route to take in order to first these supply problems. The first and foremost appeared to be an immediate tackling of the problem of piracy, but while this endeavor has proven fairly successful, the risk in the Gothic Sea has not immediately disappeared either. Thus it has fallen upon Günther to find another way to ease the problems of petroleum shortages, Al-Magreb where the Gutnish may not have the ability to maintain their presence with their naval pirates locked up in the Gothic Sea.
First of all, an oil supply crisis presents numerous challenges that have far-reaching consequences on multiple levels. The economic impact is substantial, as oil is the lifeblood of modern industrialized societies. This crisis has not spared a single economy in Europe. A sudden disruption in oil supply leads to soaring fuel prices, which directly affect transportation costs, manufacturing processes, and consumer prices. This, in turn, can trigger inflationary pressures and hinder economic growth. Additionally, countries heavily dependent on oil exports for revenue face significant financial strains, leading to budget deficits and potential social unrest. Geopolitically, an oil supply crisis can exacerbate tensions between oil-producing and oil-consuming nations, potentially leading to conflicts or strained diplomatic relations. Many noted academics have theorized that oil is a main culprit in the relative instability in Pelasgia.
While it seems quite easy to turn on the spigot, there are more complexities at hand when attempting to expand oil supply. Increasing oil production usually requires drilling new wells or optimizing existing ones. This is because current wells are usually never turned off due to the danger of the oil failing to produce thereafter. Oil reservoirs are complex underground formations with varying geological characteristics. When production is initiated, the pressure in the reservoir is carefully managed to allow oil to flow to the surface. Shutting in a well and then restarting it can impact the reservoir dynamics, including pressure distribution and fluid movement. Restarting production after a shutdown may require measures to restore the desired pressure levels and ensure proper reservoir management, which takes time and careful planning.
Drilling a new well isn't easy either though. Drilling rigs and equipment have limited availability and are often booked in advance. Acquiring new rigs or mobilizing existing ones to specific locations can take time. Additionally, drilling operations are complex and involve meticulous planning, site preparation, and adherence to safety protocols, all of which contribute to the timeline for increasing production.
Thus the conundrum of the current oil supply crisis. Existing infrastructure and wells must be simply utilized as quickly as possible.
Currently in the Al-Magreb there are three powers in focus, as the territory was divided between the Gothic Sea Pact powers in a way in which the Jysk-Austwegians split Hajr with the Holy Frankish Empire, and Al-Magreb was split between the Tarusans, Gutes, and Lethonia. The Tarusans ended up controlling a majority of Al-Magreb, while Gutarike which controls roughly 1/4th, and Lethonia, part of the Hansa, which controls roughly between 1/4th and 1/5th. The idea for the Günther Administration is to annex the remaining Gutnish part of the Magreb in this campaign against Gutnish piracy. This is a combination blow in which both pirates and oil crisis can be handled in tandem. Immediately, as of the publishing of this story, the Lethonians have already between to move into Gutnish held positions to seize oil fields, infrastructure, and attack any Gutnish forces that hold out.
This immediate maneuver is expected to be further condemned by CETO nations which have held a position against the Gothic Sea Pact's annexation of the Himyar region. Additionally, it is also possible the Ivanist Tarusan military positions in Magreb may choose to advance as well, but this could lead to immediate conflict on both the colonial and homefront, which Ivan might be wishing to avoid considering the current succession crisis.
The military maneuver will immediately be looked upon as a gamble. Should it prove successful, some of the world's oil supply will be secured, and it is possible that the Hanseatic Republics which exist in a grey-zone in regards to geopolitics between the Gothic Sea Pact and CETO maybe have their actions recognized. Although when asked on the question, the First Bürgermeister merely responded, "It is not important to the Hanseatics if reality is considered by the international community in the midst of the worst oil supply shock in memory." ✯
