...barrel rate sought by oil executives. Chevron, which had negotiated for a year to develop Iraq's second-biggest field, West Qurna, pulled out of the deal on Tuesday, saying it had not met the company's "standard investment criteria."

Iran's state-owned oil company, which controls the world's second-largest oil and natural-gas reserves, is auctioning 17 oil blocks that could attract nearly $600 million in foreign investment. Norway's Statoil ASA, Russia's OAO Lukoil Austria's OMV AG, and Spain's Repsol SA were involved in the two-day conference in Vienna, where the tenders are being presented. According to Nozari, Iran needs about $94 billion of foreign investment by 2014 to bolster oil and gas production, especially because its current output is dropping by some 7% every year due to depletion...
