Someone in our US Government Leadership (no pun intended) had better wake up and open their eyes to what is going on all around us – literally to our north and our south. China – yes that’s CHINA will be one of the larger owners of oil and gas production in our part of the world – if this deal is approved.

China’s Cnooc will buy Canadian oil and gas producer Nexen for $15.1 billion in cash, in China’s largest overseas energy acquisition to date.
Cnooc will pay $27.50 a share for Nexen, representing a 61% premium to the Canadian company’s closing price Friday on the New York Stock Exchange.
State-owned Cnooc is China’s largest offshore oil company by production. The deal will give it ownership of oil and gas reserves in western Canada, the U.K.’s North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Nigeria.
