Middle East oil nations push higher price and control shares
Oil nations in the Persian Gulf press for increased local participation and higher prices. Libya seized 51 percent of four oil companies and will compensate over two years based on net book value, with a temporary right to buy Libya's share at about five dollars a barrel. Kuwait seeks 51 percent stakes, and a 1972 agreement sets participation rising to 51 percent by 1982, while Saudi Arabia pushes price hikes to reflect market bids amid U.S. energy shortages.
