Hi! Historically the US has developed the infrastructure for most of the major oil producers in the world and have then had to turn them over to the countries (think of the various countries in South America, Africa, and the Middle East). Seems that we are the "ugly Americans" when it comes to trying to be involved with energy exploration and development in another country, but it's fine if another nation (think of BP and Shell currently) does the same to us.
