		<description><![CDATA[A technology agreement between Rio Tinto and Codelco - two of the world&#8217;s biggest copper mining companies - raises the prospect that large resource companies might pool tech R&#38;D, jointly funding and jointly benefiting from new ways of uncovering more geologically difficult deposits.
Rio and Codelco&#8217;s &#8220;Rio de Cobre&#8221; alliance, announced last week, allows both companies absolute rights to &#8216;peer over the fence&#8217; at each other&#8217;s copper-extracting technologies, said John McGagh, head of innovation at Rio, when talking to the FT yesterday. Rio has a greater expertise in surface mining technology. Codelco, experienced in Chile&#8217;s mature mines, has unrivalled expertise in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Iraqi government on Thursday stepped up its efforts to woo French  business to invest in the oil-rich country, telling Total, the French oil group, it could expect favourable  treatment.
On a state visit to France, Jalal Talabani, the Iraqi president, sought to  draw a line under differences over the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, telling  French business leaders they should &#8220;show courage and invest in all  sectors&#8221;.
Mr Talabani directed his strongest entreaty at Total,  suggesting that it could win forthcoming tenders to exploit Iraqi fields even if  the company did not come [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IHS Cera&#8217;s latest report on oil supply concludes that output is set to grow through 2030, with no peak evident. And while there are doubters out there, who contend oil already has peaked or is in the process of peaking, this latest report on the subject notes that 60 per cent of the more than 1,000 fields examined in detail in the study were found to have production levels that were either steady or climbing.
It is really no surprise to those in the industry, who note that technology continues to open up resources that many were certain were going to have to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BG Group and Petrobras have announced they plan to set up a joint venture to produce liquefied natural gas from a floating LNG plant, putting themselves at the forefront of this emerging technology.
The plan is to use the associated gas that is present in the giant oil fields of the deep-water Santos basin, off the south coast of Brazil.
If the technology can be made to work - and it is still early days - this could be a strategic coup, opening up significant new reserves of gas, and helping Petrobras with its delicate political difficulties at home.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone following prospects for the Copenhagen climate change conference recently can be forgiven for feeling mightily confused.
On Sunday, President Obama confirmed what others had said before - that Copenhagen would not produce a fully elaborated legally binding treaty, in the mould of the Kyoto protocol or its parent, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

So far, so innocuous. The negotiations have been moving in that direction for months. In March, in Bonn, Yvo de Boer, the UN&#8217;s top climate change official, said the Copenhagen summit was unlikely to come up with &#8220;a fully elaborated deal&#8221;. In September, Connie Hedegaard, the [...]]]></description>
