Petrodollar Mercantilism Explained In One Chart
Over the past several months, with the price of crude plummeting to half where it was compared to a year ago, we have written much about the monetary reality of the Petrodollar (and more importantly, its recent disappearance), the socioeconomic implications for oil/commodity exporters, the liquidity considerations for the those who create the "recycled" currency in question, and the resultant demand for assets created by public and private entities sold by the currency creator, in the process boosting the "value" of both the commodity, the demand for the currency (usually the world's reserve at any given moment), and the assets of the currency host.
We have explained this cycle and more importantly, what happens when this cycle goes into reverse, in "How The Petrodollar Quietly Died, And Nobody Noticed" and "The Death Of The Petrodollar Was Finally Noticed" (not to mention "Russia Just Pulled Itself Out Of The Petrodollar").
Still, the underlying concept of how Petrodollar recycling, or as some call it, petrocurrency mercantilism works, leaves some confusion. So in order to alleviate that, here courtesy of Cult State, is a quick and simple primer that should hopefully answer all questions.
From CultState:
So what is petrocurrency mercantilism?
It’s when a national bank and an energy producer collude to generate artificial demand for a currency at the expense of the purchasing power of other currencies.
The flowchart below shows how it all works.

Where is the barrel of the gun, aka the US Military, in that chart?
'Cause Fed is dead
If you wanna be a junkie why?
I bet the apex of global oil production is approximately now. All those oil companies are going to hit the brakes on capital spending with all these low prices and after that works through the system for a few years they will never be able to get production back up to today levels given the natural decline rate of conventional fields.
That probably isn't good for the petro dollar either, but on a different timeline too I suppose.

You (and Mrs. Cog) can check out any time of night but you can never leave.
But still call it a "free market" or you are a terrorist.
Check out any time of night?..
Hmm.. I guess..if thats the time you' like'
Well, if you are trying to escape, yes, but I get your point.
The US military is much smaller now.
We can barely field a battalion in Ukraine right now.
"Anything new will cost an extra...ten, nay...one hundred BILLION of those dollar thingy's you call money."
Don't forget that malinvestment (ie. hyperinflated credit) has been extended to the industry, which is a compounding magnifier of bubble collapse. When credit comes due to infrastructure malinvestment, well, nobody will be there to run the companies, they will just part-out the assets and walk away. Though, I think those giant dump trucks that they built are as big as houses, so maybe you can make an affordable residence of one on a fire sale.
We're all built up with progress
But sometimes I must confess
We can deal with rockets and dreams
But reality
What does it mean?
Ain't nothing said
'Cause Freddy's dead
+100 for the Curtis.
We've lost the moral high ground because we've turned from God and our founding principles. Modern mercenaries do not fight from love and therefore will never win the bigger battle. As bad as things may look, there is still much faith, hope and love left in this country and we will be restored after the fall.
appreciated, but how do we turn back to God when the churches are brimming with kiddy fiddlers?
Don't ask, don't tell. Worked for centuries untill someone told. /sarc
Faith, hope and love don't come from a dude speechin' in a church about a book. I have all three and I haven't stepped foot inside a church in decades. To each his own. Peace.
You may be attending the wrong congregation. You never have to "go to church". You NEVER walk alone. GOD is ALWAYS with you....
True that Brother. The Lord promised us the Holy Spirit. And when it moves and guides you, nothing, nothing can stop you.
That's the black circular thing dead center. You're staring right down it.
'REALITY' is something best left to conceptualists (I.E., 'educated idiots') who still think that borrowing money to pay debts is a 'good thing'.

Make mine bitcion thankyou. Last Price $283.57
The BRICS have their own currency exchange, the petroldollar scam is over but the EU institutions still want the TTIP instead of looking at Russia as their primary business partner... Pure suicide
Russia has been dangerous for more than 200 years. Every country wants them at arms length.
Russia only describes a physical place. Why don't you discuss the human ideology that has infested the modern west?
Russias estern border has not appreciably expanded in 200 years. Russias western border has extended and contracted somewhat - sometimes of their own agression and sometimes in response to the aggression of western or ottoman powers. But have russian troops ever swept through paris? Rome? No
Expansionary? somewhat. Megalomaniacal? No evidence to support this.
Compared to the imperialistic and increasingly erratic and belligerent USA? Positively benign. Who are you? a leftover from the hoover administration?
Even Russians are afraid of Russia. USA is also very scary.
Is that the House Of Saud top of the chart? The font's too small, I can't tell.
If you have trouble seeing, here's an enhanced version:

Certainly could be the Royal Bank. IIRC, there was and perhaps still is an agreement whereby the Royal House of Saud receives gold bullion coins for however many barrels of oil. Saw it on TheOildrum, I believe, but the site is no longer there. Good things never last forever.
The Saudi Monetary Agency (SAMA) took over Saudi central banking in the mid-50's from the Netherlands Trading Society Saudi Hollandi Bank.
The kingdom is the 3rd highest holder of foreign-exchange reserves, as measured in US Fiat - about 732 Billion presently. # 17 in gold reserves with 323 or so tons.
Curiosity prompted research -
The US is responsible for most of the 20th Century coinage in the Kingdom by first loaning (lend-lease) KSA 9.3 million ounces of silver and then arranging with Aramco and the Philadelphia Mint in the 1947 - 61 era for gold coins for oil revenues, packed in kegs and flown to Jeddah monthly. These were 32gram sovereign gold coins issued on behalf of Aramco for the Saudi government, which also ordered millions of Arabic-inscribed silver riyals to increase local trade in the Kingdom. American Gold and Silver are tied at the hip to a bunch of camel humpers wearing sheets and head towels.
WTF words fail me.
I'm on Linux right now.
Let's go back to the Johnson & Nixon administrations. ( Gerald Ford was never qualified to make the decisions that set current precedent in fiscal policy)
JFK assassinated just before Nixon get's inpeached?
Every leadership makes changes abruptly? They call it transitory.
Bit-con = taxed to death.....
She be a seesaw'in, fellas.

People , unless they're .gov have "zero access" to any sort of dispute. Explaine that?
I'm looking for the connection between ENI and the ECB liquidity.
I'm also wondering where Japan's liquidity ends. China and Japan don't have petrodollars (or control thereof) to finance liquidity, right?
Change the lower title from "The Energy Producers" to Higher Education, Automobile Industry, Big PHARMA, Military Industrial Complex...and my mind begins to dissolve.
What bullshit !
ALL of these are Energy Users, not producers ...
Logic fail -
Meanwhile, in 'Eastern Ukraine', the shelling continues despite the 'ceasefire'. CONUS fracking rigs are moved in, expecting to be utilized right after Poroshenko and Nuland declare that it is 'safe to surf'.
It's been over a year and a half, now, since the Russians 'invaded' Ukraine.You'd think that the 'communist threat to world peace' would have gotten their shit together by NOW, for God sakes!
(Come to think of it, it's been 34 years since Iran was 'weeks away' from getting a 'nuclear weapon', Bibi...)

like it or not boys and girls...
Petrodollar is king and will be for our lifetimes unless Obummer fuks up everything.
Which hopefully he does not have the time to do it....
Russia and China want to be rulers of the seas but have so far to go that it is just not possible for them to take over...
Just the facts guys....
You can shit in one hand and hope in the other and tell me which one fills up faster..
:)
Yo, Meshuginah,
My grandma is a Kike, as well!
A pot watched never boils, and all that shit!
(I appreciate your 'emoticon' 'smiley facey-thingie'), Bibi.
please explain...........
Above my IQ........
