Asian Energy Security Grid Deals Move Forward

PM Maliki's government in Baghdad will revive Sadaam Hussein's 1997 deal with China to develop a small but important oil field in southern Iraq. Meanwhile, Iran's national oil and gas companies are in new discussions over production-sharing arrangements with China National Offshore Oil Corporation. Are these actions the rarely mentioned "Asian Energy Security Grid" in action?
